RoHS란?

RoHS : Directive on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in the electrical and electronic equipment

※ A regulation restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.

RoHS 목적

  • Restricting the use of hazardous substances
  • Legal provisions covering hazardous substances among UN member states

RoHS 시행일

  • Applies to the specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products from 1 July 2006 (at customs clearance)

RoHS 주요 내용

  • From 1 July 2006, electrical and electronic products containing any of six substances — lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB or PBDE — above the permitted values may not be placed on the market.
  • Legal provisions covering hazardous substances among UN member states

규제물질 허용값

유해물질농도 제한
Lead (Pb)1,000 ppm
Cadmium (Cd)100 ppm
Mercury (Hg)1,000 ppm
Hexavalent Chrome (Cr6+)1,000 ppm
PBB (Br)1,000 ppm
PBDE (Br)1,000 ppm

RoHS2란?

RoHS2 목적

  • To control the environmental contamination caused by waste from hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products sold in the EU, and to increase rates of recycling and reuse.
  • To improve the environment by restricting hazardous substances and requiring the use of substitutes

RoHS2 시행일

Applicable from January 3, 2013 (customs clearance)

  1. Medical, Instrumentation, and Control Devices: July 22, 2014
  2. Medical Device for In Vitro Diagnosis: July 22, 2016
  3. Industrial Instrumentation and Control Devices: July 22, 2017
  4. The Other Electric and Electronic Products: July 22, 2017

RoHS2 주요 내용

  • Extends the scope to all electrical and electronic products, including medical, monitoring and control devices
  • Introduces CE marking — manufacturers and EU importers of in-scope products must affix CE marking to finished goods

할로겐 프리란?

Most halogen elements — Br, Cl, F, I and At — are toxic and react readily with alkali metals to form halogen compounds. Regulation therefore focuses mainly on bromine and chlorine, with the remaining elements covered in some cases.

사용 목적

  • PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
  • BFR (Brominated Flame Retardants)

사용 부위

Most likely to be found in polymer materials for PCBs (TBBP-A), connectors, ICs, PVC, wires, tubes, tape gaskets and optical sheets.

규제 가이드라인 및 기업 동향

  • IEC / IEC 61249-2-21
  • JPCA / JPCA-ES-01-2003
  • PVC regulation in Texas, USA in 2008
  • Sony has produced halogen-free PCBs since 2004.
  • Samsung and some LG divisions have introduced their own domestic requirements

규제물질 허용값

Harmful SubstanceConcentration Limit
Bromine (Br)900 mg/kg maximum
Chlorine (Cl)900 mg/kg maximum
Total halogens1,500 mg/kg maximum
