The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (ROHS) Directive (2002/95/EC)
Who does it affect?
Manufacturers, sellers, distributors and recylers of electrical and
electronic equipment containing lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent
chromium, polybrominated biphenyls or polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
This Directive covers the same scope as the Directive on waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) except for medical devices
and monitoring and control instruments. It also applies to electric
light bulbs and light fittings in households.
Purpose
The Directive aims to:
* protect human health and the environment by
restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in new equipment;
and
* complement the WEEE Directive.
Key elements
* From 1 July 2006 new electrical and electronic
equipment must not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers
(PBDEs). These must be replaced by other substances.
* Certain applications are exempt from the
requirements of the Directive including mercury in certain types of
fluorescent lamps, lead in the glass of cathode ray tubes, electronic
components and fluorescent tubes, lead in electronic ceramic parts and
hexavalent chromium as an anti-corrosion of the carbon steel cooling
system in absorption refrigerators. The exemptions will be reviewed
every four years.
* Before 13 February 2005 the European Commission
will review the terms of the Directive to take into account any new
scientific evidence.
Timescale
On 30 July 2004 the Government published a final consultation (including
draft implementing legislation and non-statutory guidance) which will
run until 29 October 2004. The Government expects to bring the
Directive into effect through UK law later in the year.

I agree, although I appreciate that it is open to interpretation, and it

As a WEEE & RoHS consultant, my pronunciation is 'Ross'.

I met the head of the British RoHS/WEEE agency at last year's AeA
presentation at Motorola. He told me that the correct pronunciation was
"Ross". Just like the first portion of "Rossi".

The most common pronunciation I have heard sounded like a cross between
Rose and Rows.
