Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 and Directive 2011/65/EU
REACH and RoHS
In short
REACH restricts substances in articles placed on the EU market and RoHS restricts hazardous substances in electrical equipment. As importer you are the person responsible for compliance, including for substances you never chose.
