The ROHS Directive went into full effect on July 1, 2006, and entails the ban on the use the following substances: Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Cadmium, Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBS) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDES). Companies will be forced to make their products (the same range of products affected by the WEEE Directive with some exceptions) with substitute materials.
