All applicable products released to the EU market after July 1, 2006, must be tested and audited for RoHS compliance. Upon a successful audit, a certificate or declaration of conformity will be granted.
The RoHS Directive’s principal goal is to eliminate dangers to human health and the environment associated with the handling of electronic and electrical waste. In addition, the directive promotes EEE recyclability while also ensuring an equal playing field for EU makers and importers of EEE.

Companies must gather data from their supply chain to demonstrate compliance with the RoHS Directive. This necessitates ongoing communication with suppliers to get substance data on parts at the homogeneous material level. Companies can acquire RoHS compliance certifications from their suppliers for parts used in the final product or equipment to reduce the burden of compliance. Before a Declaration of Conformity can be issued, organizations must adhere to a number of requirements and duties referencing RoHS 2.
