What products are affected by RoHS?
As of July 1, 2006, the ROHS-Directive will cover specifically consumer and household electronic and electrical products. Currently industrial electronics and electrical products destined for large industrial machinery are exempted as Category 9. To obtain a better understanding of the categories and those that are exempt, visit the ORGALIME website at www.orgalime.org.

Orgalime is the European Engineering Industries Association representing the interests of the mechanical, electrical, electronic and metalworking industries and it consolidates the national activities of the various trade associations in the EC Countries.
