RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)是一项旨在限制和
控制电子和电气设备中使用的有害物质的标准。
在RoHS指令（2011/65 / EU）中，对铅的要求如下：
1. 铅的含量限制：RoHS要求电子和电气设备中使用的铅的含
量不得超过0.1%（质量百分比）。
这个限制适用于整个设备，包括所有组件和材料。
2. 准例外产品：对于一些特定类型的电子和电气设备，如液晶显示器、照明设备、电气电子设备、医疗设备和监视控制仪器等，铅的含量限制可以放宽到最高0.3%。
3. 温度特殊情况：对于电子和电气设备中需要耐高温操作的部件，如焊接点和电缆绝缘层，铅的含量限制可以放宽到最高4%。
需要注意的是，RoHS的要求适用于所有销售到欧洲经济区的
电子和电气设备，以确保这些设备不会对环境和人体健康产生有害影响。

关于在电子电气设备中限制使用某些有害物质的欧盟议会和欧盟理事会第2011/65/EU号指令2011年6月8日（改写）（文本仅适用于欧洲经济区）欧洲议会和欧盟理事会，注意到成立欧盟的条约，特别是其中第114条，注意到欧盟委员会的建议，注意到欧盟经济与社会委员会的意见，注意到欧盟地区委员会的意见，按照例行的立法程序，鉴于：（1）2003年1月27日发布的关于在电子电气设备中限制使用某些有害物质的欧盟议会和欧盟理事会第2002/95/EC号指令需要做出许多重要的变动，为了进一步明确，该指令需要改写。
（2）各成员国为限制在电子电气设备中使用有害物质而制订的法规或行政措施之间存在的差异会产生贸易壁垒和扭曲欧盟内的竞争，甚至对单一市场的建立及其运作产生直接影响。
因此有必要协调成员国在此领域的法规，以利于保护人类健康和进行环境友好回收和处理报废电子电气设备。
（3）2002/95/EC指令规定，欧盟委员会应基于科技进步并考虑欧盟理事会于2000年12月4日批准的预防原则决议，对指令条款进行审议，特别是为了将特定类别的设备纳入管制范围以及修改限制物质列表的需求。
（4）2008年11月19日发布的关于废弃物的欧盟议会和理事会第2008/98/EC号指令在立法上将预防放在首位，预防被定义为减少材料和产品中有害物质的措施。
（5）1988年1月25日关于防止镉环境污染行动计划的理事会决议要求委员会持续发展具体的措施。
人体健康必须得到保护，因此，需要实施限制镉的使用和开发镉的替代品的全面战略，该决议强调，镉的使用仅限于尚无替代品的情况。
（6）2004年4月29日，关于持久性有机污染物的欧盟议会和理事会第（EC）850/2004号规章重申，由于持久性污染物的跨国界传输，保护环境和人类健康不受持久性有机污染物的伤害的目标在成员国不能充分的达到，而在欧盟范围内能更好的达到。
根据该规章，为了最终的目标，必须采取可行的措施识别和减少工业生产中无意生产的持久性有机污染物（例如二噁英和呋喃）的排放。
欧洲议会及理事会2011年6月8日关于限制电子电气设备中某些有害物质的2011/65/EU指令（改写）（全文适用于欧洲经济区）欧洲议会和欧盟理事会，注意到关于欧洲联盟运行的条约，特别是其中的第114条款，注意到欧盟委员会的提案，注意到经济和社会委员会的意见，注意到区域委员会的观点，按照一般立法程序行事，鉴于：（1） 将对欧洲议会和理事会2003年1月27日关于限制电子电气设备中某些有害物质的2002/95/EC指令做出许多重大变更。
为使之更加清晰，应该改写指令。
（2） 欧盟各成员国有关限制电子电气设备中有害物质使用的法律和行政措施之间的差异可能导致贸易壁垒并扭曲欧盟内的竞争，也可能因此对内部市场的建立和运作有直接的影响。
因此有必要在此领域制订规则以保护人类健康、进行环境友好回收和处置废弃电子电气设备。
（3） 2002/95/EC规定欧盟委员会应考虑到欧盟理事会2000年12月4日决议中规定的预防原则，评审指令条款，特别是为了将某些类别的设备纳入指令范围，以及基于科学进步基础上研究修订限制物质清单的需求。
（4） 欧洲议会和理事会2008年11月9日有关废物的2008/98/EC指令在废物立法中将预防放在首位。
预防被特别定义为降低材料和产品中有害物质的措施。
（5） 在1988年1月25日关于与镉环境污染做斗争的欧洲共同体行动方案的理事会条例中，邀请欧盟委员会无延迟地制订这个方案的具体措施。
人类的健康必须得到保护，因此要实施一个总体战略，特别是限制镉的使用和激励研究替代物质。
条例强调镉的使用应该限于不存在适宜的替代物的情况。
（6） 欧洲议会和理事会2004年4月29日关于持久性有机污染物（POP）的第850/2004号法规重申保护环境和人类健康免于持久性有机污染物危害无法由成员国充分实现，因为污染物会超越国界，因此在联盟层级更容易实现。
按照这个法规，应该识别并降低持久性有机污染物如二恶英和呋喃的排放，他们都是工业过程的副产品，可能时，最终目的是消除它们。
RoHS（限制使用某些有害物质指令）是一项欧洲法规，旨在限制电子和电气设备中的有害物质含量，以减少对环境和人类健康的潜在危害。
铅（Pb）是其中一种有害物质，其含量受到RoHS指令的限制。
根据RoHS指令（2011/65/EU），电子和电气设备中的铅含量限制如下：
1. 铅含量不得超过0.1%（1,000 ppm）。
这意味着在受RoHS指令管制的电子和电气设备中，铅的含量不得超过总质量的0.1%。
需要注意的是，RoHS指令中还包括其他有害物质的限制，如汞（Hg）、镉（Cd）、六价铬（Cr VI）、多溴联苯（PBBs）和多溴二苯醚（PBDEs）。
各种材料和组件的生产制造商需要确保其产品符合RoHS指令的要求，以获得市场准入许可。
此外，RoHS指令的规定可能会根据不同国家和地区的法规有所不同，因此在特定地区销售产品时，还需要遵守当地的法规和标准。
为了确保产品的合规性，制造商通常会进行材料测试和供应链管理，以确保其产品不含超过规定限制的有害物质。

In the interest of clarity, that Directive should be recast.(2) The disparities between the laws or administrative measures adopted by the Member States regarding the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) could create barriers to trade and distort competition in the Union and may thereby have a direct impact on the establishment and functioning of the internal market. It therefore appears necessary to lay down rules in this field and to contribute to the protection of human health and the environmentally sound recovery and disposal of waste EEE.(3) Directive 2002/95/EC provides that the Commission shall review the provisions of that Directive, in particular, in order to include in its scope equipment which falls within certain categories and to study the need to adapt the list of restricted substances on the basis of scientific progress, taking into account the precautionary principle, as endorsed by Council Resolution of 4 December 2000.(4) Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste(5) gives first priority to prevention in waste legislation. Prevention is defined, inter alia, as measures that reduce the content of harmful substances in materials and products.(5) Council Resolution of 25 January 1988 on a Community action programme to combat environmental pollution by cadmium (6) invited the Commission to pursue without delay the development of specific measures for such a programme. Human health also has to be protected and an overall strategy that in particular restricts the use of cadmium and stimulates research into substitutes should therefore be implemented. The Resolution stresses that the use of cadmium should be limited to cases where suitable alternatives do not exist.(6) Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on persistent organic pollutants (7) recalls that the objective of protecting the environment and human health from persistent organic pollutants cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, owing to the transboundary effects of those pollutants, and can therefore be better achieved at Union level. Pursuant to that Regulation, releases of persistent organic pollutants, such as dioxins and furans, which are unintentional by-products of industrial processes, should be identified and reduced as soon as possible with the ultimate aim of elimination, where feasible.(7) The available evidence indicates that measures on the collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of waste EEE as set out in Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (8) are necessary to reduce the waste management problems associated with the heavy metals and flame retardants concerned. In spite of those measures, however, significant parts of waste EEE will continue to be found in the current disposal routes inside or outside the Union. Even if waste EEE were collected separately and submitted to recycling processes, its content of mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium VI, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) would be likely to pose risks to health or the environment, especially when treated in less than optimal conditions.(8) Taking into account technical and economic feasibility, including for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the most effective way of ensuring a significant reduction of risks to health and the environment relating to those substances, in order to achieve the chosen level of protection in the Union, is the substitution of those substances in EEE by safe or safer materials. Restricting the use of those hazardous substances is likely to enhance the possibilities and economic profitability of recycling of waste EEE and decrease the negative impact on the health of workers in recycling plants.(9) The substances covered by this Directive are scientifically well researched and evaluated and have been subject to different measures both at Union and at national level.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive should take into account existing international guidelines and recommendations and should be based on an assessment of available scientific and technical information. The measures are necessary to achieve the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment, with due respect for the precautionary principle, and having regard to the risks which the absence of measures would be likely to create in the Union. The measures should be kept under reviewand, if necessary, adjusted to take account of available technical and scientific information. The annexes to this Directive should be reviewed periodically to take into account, inter alia, Annexes XIV and XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and establishing a European Chemicals Agency (9). In particular, the risks to human health and the environment arising from the use of Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) and Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) should be considered as a priority. With a view to further restrictions of substances, the Commission should re-investigate the substances that were subject to previous assessments, in accordance with the new criteria set out in this Directive as part of the first review.(11) This Directive supplements the general Union waste management legislation, such as Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.(12) A number of definitions should be included in this Directive in order to specify its scope. In addition, the definition of ‘electrical and electronic equipment’ should be complemented by a definition of‘dependent’, to cover the multipurpose character of certain products, where the intended functions of EEE are to be determined on the basis of objective characteristics, such as the design of the product and its marketing.(13) Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (10) enables specific ecodesign requirements to be set for energy-related products which may also be covered by this Directive. Directive 2009/125/EC and the implementing measures adopted pursuant to it are without prejudice to Union waste management legislation.(14) This Directive should apply without prejudice to Union legislation on safety and health requirements and specific Union waste management legislation, in particular Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators (11) and Regulation (EC) No 850/2004.(15) The technical development of EEE without heavy metals, PBDE and PBB should be taken into account.(16) As soon as scientific evidence is available, and taking into account the precautionary principle, the restriction of other hazardous substances, including any substances of very small size or with a very small internal or surface structure (nanomaterials) which may be hazardous due to properties relating to their size or structure, and their substitution by more environmentally friendly alternatives which ensure at least the same level of protection of consumers should be examined. To this end, the review and amendment of the list of restricted substances in Annex II should be coherent, maximise synergies with, and reflect the complementary nature of the work carried out under other Union legislation, and in particular under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 while ensuring the mutually independent operation of this Directive and that Regulation. Consultation with the relevant stakeholders should be carried out and specific account should be taken of the potential impact on SMEs.(17) The development of renewable forms of energy is one of the Union’s key objectives, and the contribution made by renewable energy sources to environmental and climate objectives is crucial. Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotionof the use of energy from renewable sources (12) recalls that there should be coherence between those objectives and other Union environmental legislation. Consequently, this Directive should not prevent the development of renewable energy technologies that have no negative impact on health and the environment and that are sustainable and economically viable.(18) Exemptions from the substitution requirement should be permitted if substitution is not possible from the scientific and technical point of view, taking specific account of the situation of SMEs or if the negative environmental, health and consumer safety impacts caused by substitution are likely to outweigh the environmental, health and consumer safety benefits of the substitution or the reliability of substitutes is not ensured. The decision on exemptions and on the duration of possible exemptions should take into account the availability of substitutes and the socioeconomic impact of substitution. Life-cycle thinking on the overall impacts of exemptions should apply, where relevant. Substitution of the hazardous substances in EEE should also be carried out in such a way as to be compatible with the health and safety of users of EEE. The placing on the market of medical devices requires a conformity assessment procedure, according to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices (13) and Directive 98/79/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 1998 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (14), which could require the involvement of a notified body designated by competent authorities of Member States. If such a notified body certifies that the safety of the potential substitute for the intended use in medical devices or in vitro diagnostic medical devices is not demonstrated, the use of that potential substitute will be deemed to have clear negative socioeconomic, health and consumer safety impacts. It should be possible, from the date of entry into force of this Directive, to apply for exemptions for equipment, even before the actual inclusion of that equipment in the scope of this Directive.(19) Exemptions from the restriction for certain specific materials or components should be limited in their scope and duration, in order to achieve a gradual phase-out of hazardous substances in EEE, given that the use of those substances in such applications should become avoidable.(20) As product reuse, refurbishment and extension of lifetime are beneficial, spare parts need to be available.(21) Procedures for assessing the conformity of EEE subject to this Directive should be consistent with relevant Union legislation, in particular Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on a common framework for the marketing of products (15). Harmonising conformity assessment procedures should give manufacturers legal certainty as to what they have to provide as proof of compliance to the authorities throughout the Union.(22) The conformity marking applicable for products at Union level, CE marking, should also apply to EEE that is subject to this Directive.(23) The market surveillance mechanisms laid down by Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products (16) provide the safeguard mechanisms to check compliance with this Directive.(24) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Directive, particularly with regard to the guidelines and format of applications for exemptions, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules andgeneral principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (17).(25) For the purposes of achieving the objectives of this Directive the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in respect of amendments to Annex II, detailed rules for complying with maximum concentration values, and the adaptation of Annexes III and IV to technical and scientific progress. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.(26) The obligation to transpose this Directive into national law should be confined to those provisions which represent a substantive change as compared with the earlier Directive. The obligation to transpose the provisions which are unchanged arises under the earlier Directive.(27) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directive set out in Annex VII, Part B.(28) When reviewing this Directive, a thorough analysis of its coherence with Regulation (EC) No1907/2006 should be carried out by the Commission.(29) In accordance with paragraph 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making (18), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Union, their own tables, which will, as far as possible, illustrate the correlation between this Directive and their transposition measures, and to make those tables public.(30) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to establish restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in EEE, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale of the problem and its implications in respect of other Union legislation on recovery and disposal of waste and areas of common interest, such as human health protection, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1Subject matterThis Directive lays down rules on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with a view to contributing to the protection of human health and the environment, including the environmentally sound recovery and disposal of waste EEE.Article 2Scope1. This Directive shall, subject to paragraph 2, apply to EEE falling within the categories set out inAnnex I.2.
