Materials compliance
RoHS Directive Compliance
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive limits the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. While batteries themselves are generally subject to the EU Battery Regulation, battery-containing products and associated electronics must comply with RoHS limits.
Key Compliance Requirements
- Material Restrictions: Strict limits on heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd).
- System-Level Compliance: B2B manufacturers must ensure that battery management systems (BMS), enclosures, and wiring meet RoHS standards.
- Global Influence: Many global markets (e.g., China RoHS) have adopted similar requirements, making it a universal benchmark for eco-friendly manufacturing.
Achieving RoHS compliance is a crucial step for reducing environmental impact and enabling global sales.
