RoHS does not affect consumables (e.g. ink cartridges, drill bits etc.), instruction manuals or packaging. However any accessory (e.g. cables, battery chargers, tool case etc.) supplied for use with a product that is within one of the 8 categories specified in RoHS is considered to be part of the product and therefore needs to comply.
