What Is RoHS Compliance?
RoHS compliance stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, a European Union directive (originally 2002/95/EC) that limits the use of dangerous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. The current standard is RoHS 3 (Directive 2015/863).
The purpose is clear:
To reduce environmental pollution and protect human health during the manufacturing, use, and disposal of electronic products.
RoHS restricts 10 hazardous substances:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
These substances are either banned completely or limited to very low concentrations.
RoHS Compliance in Kitchen Appliances: Why It Matters
Kitchen appliances are among the most frequently used electronics in modern households. Because of this, RoHS compliance becomes essential — not only for regulatory reasons but also for everyday safety and sustainability.
Wiggo ensures:
No toxic exposure to you or your family
Safer disposal when the appliance reaches its end of life
Reduced environmental harm
Better indoor air quality at home
In short, RoHS compliance offers a healthier kitchen and a cleaner planet.
Wiggo’s Commitment to RoHS-Compliant Appliances
At Wiggo, RoHS isn’t just a requirement — it’s a design standard. We integrate RoHS compliance into every part of our product development and manufacturing.
Here’s what this looks like:
All electrical components meet RoHS 3 standards
Regular chemical safety audits across our supply chain
Clear documentation and EU-compliant labeling
Whether you’re using a built-in hob or a freestanding fridge, you can feel confident that your appliance avoids harmful substances like lead, cadmium, or banned flame retardants.
How RoHS Differs from CE and ERP Certifications
RoHS is often mentioned alongside CE and ERP, but each plays a unique role:
CE certification ensures product safety and functionality
ERP (Energy-related Products) focuses on energy efficiency
RoHS specifically targets hazardous material content
Together, these certifications offer:
Safe daily use
Environmentally responsible design
Full EU market compliance
Wiggo proudly meets all three — and displays these certifications on packaging and technical documents.
