'''[[The importance of RoHS Directive: how restricted substances can affect the workers and consumers health]]''' | |||
[[File:Toxic substance.jpg|thumb|Toxic substances can be found almost everywhere. RoHS Directive plays a fundamental role in CE marking to minimize the risk of use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).]] | |||
With the ever-growing industrial development, lots of natural or synthetic substances are constantly introduced in the manufacturing of various products. Some of these substances can constitute a [[workplace hazard]] or a [[hazard to the consumer]]. | |||
For this reason, it was introduced the so called “[[RoHS Directive]]”, where “RoHS” stands for “''Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances''”. It limits the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. | |||
RoHS Directive indicates when the same directive is applicable. In case of applicability, the compliance to RoHS Directive: | |||
* | * <u>is mandatory for CE Marking</u>, | ||
* | * <u>must be accomplished by manufacturer in a proper way</u> (e.g.: by product control and testing), | ||
* | * and <u>must be indicated by law in the [[EU Declaration of Conformity]]</u> of the product. | ||
With the latest modifications of the RoHS regulation, the number of these restricted substances (some of which are actually “classes of substances”) is ten, and they are precisely: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). | |||
Staying within safety limits of use of these substances in various products is of the utmost importance to avoid such [[health hazards]]. It is also necessary to use the appropriate [[Personal protective equipment|protective equipment]] in workplaces, and to dispose properly of factory wastes in order to prevent environmental contamination. | |||
To better understand the importance for manufacturers to follow the RoHS Directive, and for consumers to buy RoHS compliant products, where applicable, let see where these restricted substances can be found, how they can enter the human body, and how they affect a person’s health... | |||
