Welcome to Allied's RoHS Knowledge Center

RoHS and WEEE Directives are part of a series of EU environmental measures. They are very closely linked and will be implemented within a similar timeframe. Both Directives apply only in the European Union. However, RoHS directly affects manufacturers who sell product into the EU and eventually other countries as they follow suit with their own “green” legislation.
