Legislation and Compliance
RoHS Certificate of Compliance
EU Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 restrict the use of the 10 substances below in the manufacture of specified types of electrical equipment.
Whilst this restriction does not legally apply to components, it is recognised that component “compliance” is relevant to many customers.
RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".
RS Components has taken all reasonable steps to confirm this statement. Information relates only to products sold on or after the date of this certificate.

FAQs
What is earth loop impedance testing?
This is also known as loop testing. Earth loop impedance testing is carries out to make sure that if an error occurs in an electrical installation, there is enough current to flow in order to operate the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the faulty circuit within a predetermined time. The purpose is to make sure that the circuit is disconnected quickly in order to prevent overheating and possibly a fire.
What are PSC tests?
Prospective Short Circuit (PSC) tests are designed to calculate the maximum current that will flow within a fault loop path during the event of an electrical fault.
