8. Lead free and ROHS Compliancy There is a continual worldwide environmental movement away from the use of lead and other hazardous substances towards 'non-toxic' products. Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive(ROHS) aims at restricting the use of six hazardous materials in manufacture of electronic equipments. They are: Lead, Mercury, Cadimum, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls, Polybrominated diphenyl ether. HALO develops “Lead Free” or “Green” series of transformers and CMR choke devices in which the above mentioned toxic products are eliminated in order to reduce the risks to health and environment.
