- The European Union has set the pace for product-specific regulations for electronics and electrical equipment which are being adopted by other countries around the world. China WEEE and RoHS are China’s adoption of take-back requirements and chemical restrictions for electronic products. Though similar to EU Directives, China has added unique requirements.
