RoHS and WEEE Legislation prohibits lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium from use in electrical and electronic equipment with very few exceptions.
ELV Legislation prohibits the use of any level or lead or cadmium intentionally added in elctroless nickel specified by automotive manufacturers worldwide due to its unmatched corrosion and wear resistance.
