Legislation and Compliance
RoHS Certificate of Compliance
EU Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 restrict the use of the 10 substances below in the manufacture of specified types of electrical equipment.
Whilst this restriction does not legally apply to components, it is recognised that component “compliance” is relevant to many customers.
RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".
RS Components has taken all reasonable steps to confirm this statement. Information relates only to products sold on or after the date of this certificate.

Product Details
RS Pro Volt Stick Non-Contact Voltage Detector
The Non-Contact VoltStick® is a tester for safely checking the presence of an AC voltage without making any disconnections in cables, wall sockets, fuses, circuit breakers, junction boxes etc. No current flow is needed for correct detection. Apply the plastic tip to any connection point or move it along an insulated cable. When an AC voltage is detected a red indicator in the plastic tip illuminates, as it detects the live wire through the insulation. Note that if a 3 phase machine is connected up and one of the fuses blows, the voltage is conducted back to the defective fuse the other way and a faulty indication may be given. Make sure that all machines are disconnected before testing. The VoltStick® cannot be used on socket with shielded cable.
