Restricted claim

“RoHS compliant”

Is “RoHS compliant” allowed under the EU Green Claims Directive (2024/825)?

High-risk claim Legal requirement as feature

Why it is restricted

RoHS applies to electrical and electronic equipment across the EU, so every competitor on the shelf is in the same position. Advertising it as an advantage is the practice point 10a lists.

Say this instead

Keep the declaration in the technical documentation, not in the marketing copy.

In English

  • “RoHS-konform”
  • “RoHS-vastavuses”

Legal basis

Directive 2005/29/EC, Annex I point 10a, inserted by Directive 2024/825 (requirements imposed by law on ALL products within the relevant product category, presented as a distinctive feature — the prohibition only bites where the duty covers the whole category, which this scan does not determine)
