EIS selection tool

Today’s legislation requires products, and therefore materials, to comply with the WEEE, EU RoHS and EU REACH Regulations.

The WEEE Directive requires the end-of-life separation of halogen-containing materials, and aims to reduce the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment going to landfill. It requires all manufacturers and producers to take responsibility for what happens to the products they sell at the end of the product’s life.

The RoHS Directive aims to increase recycling and/or reuse of electrical and electronic equipment, and requires the substitution of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium and traditional flame retardants with safer alternatives.

The REACH Regulation places responsibility on the industry to manage the risks from chemicals, provide safety information on the properties of their chemical substances to allow safe handling, and register the information in a central European Chemical Agency database. It also calls for the progressive substitution of the most dangerous chemicals when suitable alternatives have been identified, and applies the concept of "No data, no market".
