The RoHS (Regulation of Hazardous Substances) regulations affect similar companies to those covered by the WEEE regulations. The RoHS Regulations ban selected electrical and electronic equipment from being placed on the market when they contain more than ‘permitted levels’ of hazardous substances such as lead and cadmium.
For fast, free, definitive information on RoHS regulations phone 0845 094 2228.
If you have received a letter from the Environment Agency, and need to take rapid action, please phone 0845 094 2228.
If you are one of the following:
• A manufacturer who places electrical equipment onto the UK market
• An importer who imports electrical equipment for the UK market
• You sell electrical equipment to the general public AND the electrical equipment you place on the market falls within the ‘scope’ of the RoHS regulations, then the answer is yes.
We advise business owners to seek expert advice from one of our technical consultants, since the RoHS regulations only apply to some products.
When you phone us (0845 094 2228) or join our Budget Pack info scheme, we can confirm whether or not you are obligated under the RoHS regulations, and explain how you can minimise your costs of compliance.
