		Oct 20, 2006 12:35 PM Regardless of whether you call it "Roz", “Rose”, or "Row Haws", the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) is an initiative with one clear purpose: Helping to solve the problem of how to reduce huge amounts of toxic e-waste.
		Adopted in February 2003 by the European Union, the directive took effect on July 1st of this year, and places clear restrictions on the use of six hazardous materials used in the manufacture of electronic and electrical components.
		While each European Union member state has adopted its own enforcement and implementation policies using the directive as a guideline, the six substances now restricted are listed across-the-board as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium VI, and PBB and PBDE, both of which are used as flame retardants in some plastics.

	Talk:Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Part of the early 1990s history of Euro directives is as a thrust to start a viable European union, currency, and comcomitant market, while stating lofty compliance goals.
		Since the UK limits you mentioned are the same as the EU's 1991 (and 2003 [4]) directive, the UK regulation may have drawn from the Euro battery directive.
		Though the quantities are the same, I'd hold off on from citing the UK directive since it does not have quite the same wording as the EU directive, and the EU directive's the one which will be homologated and harmonized to.

		Though pipe organs are essentially mechanical devices, they use electric motors to power the blowers that move air through the pipes and thus fall under the directive.
		A spokeswoman for the DTI said the RoHS directive “does not apply to parts used to repair equipment ‘placed on the market’ before the July deadline," so organs could continue to be repaired using lead without restriction.
		Exemptions from the RoHS Directive can be granted by the EC, but only on the basis of scientific or technical impracticability”, the spokeswoman said.
