1. This European Union directive, which came into force on July 1st, 2006, prohibits the use of 6 toxic substances in the production of electric and electronic devices and thereby to contribute to the protection of human health and the environment. The following 6 substances are  prohibited to be used in the production process:
1. Cadmium
2. Mercury
3. Lead
4. Hexavalent chromium
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
