The European Parliament and the European Council's January 27, 2003 Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment was formally put into force on July 1, 2006. This directive states that electrical and electronic products marketed in the EU shall not contain the following six harmful substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

As the leading provider of industrial networking equipment, Moxa has taken the following concrete steps to achieve the requirements of EU RoHS:
