RoHS and How RoHS applies?
RoHS is Restriction of Hazardous Substance Directive adopted by European Union in February 2003. It finally took effect in the European Union on 1 July 2006.

iii. cadmium;
iv. hexavalent chromium;
v. polybrominated biphenyls (PBB);
vi. polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).
How RoHS applies
For the moment, there is no special product labeling. Many manufacturers have adopted their own compliance marks to reduce confusion. Marks like “RoHS compliant”, green leaves, check mark, “PB-free” marking can be seen on products.
Advantages

DisadvantagesRoHS has adverse effect in product quality and reliability. To comply with RoHS, one has to incur higher cost.
