What it means
RoHS (the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive) limits substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and certain flame retardants and phthalates in electrical and electronic equipment. A RoHS-compliant product contains none of these restricted substances above the permitted thresholds.
How it is achieved
Compliance is demonstrated by assessing the bill of materials, collecting supplier material declarations, testing materials and components against the RoHS substance limits, compiling the supporting technical documentation, and issuing a Declaration of Conformity.
Why it matters
RoHS compliance signals environmental responsibility and is expected — or required — in many markets. For Fipron it underlines that our clean-agent systems leave no restricted hazardous substances behind.
