Open in the designer with this requirement

Constructions that meet it

  • RoHS-compliant compounds: changes no layer: a property of the sheath compound. Lead-free stabilisers and plasticisers in PVC, or halogen-free compounds (RoHS compliant compounds). Drawbacks: A lead sheath (see lead-sheath) can conflict with a RoHS clause; check the scope per project.

How specifications state it

A compliance declaration, not a cable test; clashes with lead sheaths and some PVC plasticisers.
