The RoHS directive primarily aims at protecting human health and the environment by restricting the use of hazardous and harmful elements and chemicals in electrical and electronic products. But at the same rate electrical and electronic goods companies also benefit from the restrictions imposed by the RoHS directive. So RoHS directive not only for consumers and the environment, but also for the manufacturer. In particular, all electrical and electronic goods producing companies wishing to enter the European Union and world markets must make their production methods, production models and production facilities in accordance with the procedures and principles and standards of the RoHS directive. Otherwise, they will be one step behind in the struggle with their competitors or in their efforts to gain superiority in the market. Now, not only in the electrical and electronic goods sector, but also in all other sectors, giving priority to environmental conditions and human health is of primary importance. Producers must organize all production processes in this way and control the use of hazardous and toxic heavy metals during production. Only in this way can trust be created for consumers.
Today, the trading power of RoHS certified electrical and electronic appliances increases in all world markets. Manufacturer's products RoHS Certificate must take. In order to have this certificate, it is necessary to produce in RoHS standard. Technological investment is required to achieve this standard.
In the meantime, we should not neglect not only the brand companies but also the small firms that make contract manufacturing. For the contract manufacturing companies, the facts described here are the same.
It should not be forgotten that the people working in the companies producing electrical and electronic goods are also protected from the harmful effects of heavy metals and chemicals mentioned in the directive if their RoHS standards are applied. The risk of occupational diseases will be lower in these enterprises. In this respect, the RoHS directive ensures manufacturer safety.
The substances that the RoHS directive deemed dangerous and harmful were explained at the date of the first publication of the directives: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Plus 6 valued Chromium (Cr6 +), Polybromide biphenyl (PBB) and Polybromide biphenyl ether (PBDE) In the year 2008, the directive was revised and the following substances were listed: Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).
Almost all of these substances are highly toxic and can be released into their environment. In this way, they enter the human body by inhalation and create a health risk. There are many electrical and electronic goods in households that use these substances.
