There are six original substances that each have a threshold based on weight.
Substance RoHS Limit: MCV – Maximum Concentration Values:
- Lead (Pb) < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Mercury (Hg) < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI) < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01% = < 100 PPM
- Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
RoHS Directive (EU) 2015/863 (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "RoHS 3") adds four more substances:
- Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP): < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
- Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): < 0.10% = < 1,000 PPM
