This EUR-Lex consolidated text of Directive 2011/65/EU is the EU RoHS framework for electrical and electronic equipment. Annex II lists maximum concentration values tolerated by weight in homogeneous materials. The loaded rows cover lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. The values are entered as statutory limits after converting the source percent-by-weight values to ug/kg while preserving the homogeneous-material basis.
