1 RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. Originated in the European Union, RoHS restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU after July 1, 2006 must meet RoHS standards which sets maximum levels for six restricted materials: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE). 2 REACH is the EU Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals which came into effect on June 1, 2007. 3 California Proposition 65: Proposition 65 began in California in 1987. It publishes an annual list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify consumers about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables consumers to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals.
