RoHS

The guideline for the use of hazardous substances

The abbreviation RoHS stands for "Restriction of (the use of certain) Hazardous Substances", German: "Beschränkung (der Verwendung bestimmter) gefährlicher Stoffe".
There is already the 3rd version of this directive, 2015/863 (RoHS3) was introduced on 31 March 2015. This replaced guideline 2011/65 (RoHS2), which had been in force since 8 June 2011. Prior to this, guideline 2002/95 (RoHS 1) had been in force since 27 January 2003.

This Single Market Directive applies to all EU member states in the same way and may not be interpreted differently.
The regulation restricts or prohibits the use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury or phthalates and defines limit values for certain substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
This includes, for example, large household appliances, small household appliances, IT and telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics, lighting, electrical and electronic tools, toys, sports and leisure equipment, automatic dispensers, electric light bulbs and lights in households, etc.

RoHS conformity is also a prerequisite for CE labelling of an electrical product.

This means the following for our chainflex® cable:
Our chainflex® cables are manufactured without the prohibited ingredients of the RoHS3 guideline. Among other things, we do not use hazardous plasticisers such as lead. We strictly adhere to the guideline and develop and test sheathing materials in our laboratory that comply with the applicable RoHSII /III requirements. This ensures that our chainflex® cables are lead-free and can be manufactured without harmful plasticisers.
