RoHS is a directive that requires no substances on electronic cards or materials. English Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive consists of the initials of the word.

27 harmful 2003-2002-EC adopted by the Council of Europe on January 95
substances restricting the use of certain harmful elements in electronic products. Lead, cadmium, mercury and bromide compounds prohibit the use of substances harmful to human health. This regulation was published in the Official Gazette on May 2008 under the name EE EEE Regulation de in our country.

With this directive, the restriction of the use of certain harmful substances was introduced into UK domestic law in 2013. In short, RoHS is an expression used to restrict hazardous substances.  

The purpose of this regulation is to protect the environment and human health. For this purpose, the use of certain harmful substances in electrical and electronic equipment is restricted. The Regulation also lists the practices that will not be subject to these restrictions in the annexed list. In addition, the regulation includes administrative, legal and technical regulations for the control of imported electrical and electronic goods. Similarly, the principles for recycling and disposal of electrical and electronic goods without harming the environment are also regulated by the regulation.

In addition to the regulation, there is a detailed list of the categories of electrical and electronic goods and these categories. The regulation covers all electrical and electronic equipment, electric lamps, lighting equipment used in homes, toys, entertainment and sports equipment, automatic vending machines, information technology and telecommunication equipment.

According to EU data, waste of electrical and electronic equipment is currently estimated to account for 4% of all waste or 6.5 million tonnes per year. This not only pollutes nature but also prevents the flow of technology to less developed regions of the world.

The WEEE Directive prior to RoHS requires separate collection and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment waste. In this context, producers are expected to design their products by evaluating the possibilities of recovery, recycling and degradability, on the basis that they are held responsible for completing the life of their products.

According to the EEE Regulation, the use of elements other than the above mentioned cadmium must be less than one thousandth in electrical and electronic devices produced by the manufacturer companies. In cadmium this rate is one in ten thousand. Companies can not make a production that exceeds these rates. Very special analysis devices are used in the analysis of these ratios.

Producer companies are also obliged to keep the information and documents that the products offered to the customers meet the required criteria according to the directive for five years. Again, manufacturer companies must prepare a declaration of conformity for their products once a year by the end of February and submit them to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Producer companies are obliged to carry out analyzes on the electrical and electronic products they produce in order to prove whether the above-described use is restricted or prohibited. The RoHS Certificate is a document that is given based on the results of these analyzes.
