Abstract:

The long awaited RoHS Regulations 2005 were finally issued in the U.K. on 20 October. The Regulations set strict new limits for permissible quantities of certain hazardous substances used in electrical goods. Primary responsibility for ensuring compliance will rest with you if you manufacture, re-brand, distribute, import or export electrical goods but component manufacturers also need to take care as the Regulations provide for criminal liability to be allocated across the supply chain to the maker of the non-compliant component.
