About 10 years ago, the EU introduced new restrictions on lead, mercury and other hazardous materials used 6 kinds of bills, in the electronics industry, set off a storm of protest. Recently started EU RoHS bill to change the agenda, once had immunity of electrical and electronic equipment and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, photovoltaic face a new round test. SEMI RoHS EU working group is actively working with relevant departments of communication, and strive to avoid detection and control equipment, related parts and components to be included in the RoHS bill of the worst possibilities.

A total of six hazardous substances listed in RoHS, including: Lead Pb, Cd Cb, Mercury Hg, hexavalent chromium, Cr6 +, two stupid polybrominated ethers PDBE, polybrominated stupid PDD. LED car lights belong to the electronics industry, also uses solder, solder contains lead, LED car lights products, the packaging will also contain cadmium, if limited to these hazardous substances to minimum standards, then the LED car light industry to that the far-reaching. Solder less, resulting out of automobile lamps such as welding or cold solder joint on the stability of the entire vehicle lighting products, with a pass rate of great impact, the workers also made a greater welding technology requirements. Costs increase, then the price of automotive lighting products will increase, to the already high price of automotive LED light bulbs, the prices are more expensive, although it has many advantages, but most consumers would prefer rather than halogen or HID lamp options LED lights.
