On July 1, 2006, OEMs selling electronics equipment into Europe will have to comply with the European Union’s Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. It bans lead and five other substances from being used in electronics equipment. OEMs and suppliers have been working hard to redesign products and components to comply with the law and, in many instances, to re-number parts to identify those products that comply versus those that don’t. Here is a list of recent articles that detail the many issues concerning the new law.
