UAE, KSA & future GSO harmonization
In today’s regulated landscape, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is the "green passport" for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). While the directive originated in the EU, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia (KSA) have implemented their own rigorous technical regulations that are mandatory for market entry.

|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | 1000 ppm | 0.1% |
| Mercury (Hg) | 1000 ppm | 0.1% |
| Cadmium (Cd) | 100 ppm | 0.01% |
| Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI) | 1000 ppm | 0.1% |
| PBB & PBDE (Flame Retardants) | 1000 ppm | 0.1% |
| Phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) | 1000 ppm | 0.1% |
