Why RoHS 3 Also Applies to Fluid Connectors

When people hear “RoHS compliance,” most of them think of electronics, circuit boards, batteries, cables, and those kinds of things. But RoHS 3 is bigger than that. It’s not just about what’s plugged in. It’s about what’s in the materials we use every day.

At Brevet, we make fluid connectors made from polycarbonate and PVC that are clean, precise, and built for medical, industrial, cosmetic, and veterinary applications. No wires, no circuits. But still, RoHS 3 fully matters. And with that, we are compliant.

So what is RoHS 3, really?

RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. The “3” means it’s the latest version — updated to include four additional phthalates alongside the original six restricted substances. These are chemicals you don’t want in your supply chain. Think lead, mercury, cadmium… plus DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP. We know, it’s a mouthful.)

Brevet’s connectors don’t use any of those. We’ve always been picky about materials — not just for performance, but for safety. RoHS 3 just makes that official.

 

What RoHS 3 Restricts

RoHS 3 limits the use of 10 hazardous substances, including:

  • Lead
  • Mercury
  • Cadmium
  • Hexavalent Chromium
  • Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
  • Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
  • Four phthalates: DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP

 Why it matters even if your product isn’t electronic

RoHS 3 isn’t just for gadgets. It also applies to any product that may also contain restricted substances as well. That includes plastics, coatings, adhesives and even packaging. And if you’re manufacturing in California, or shipping globally, RoHS 3 compliance can make or break your approvals.

California’s regulations are actually already aligned with RoHS 3 in many ways. So being compliant now means you’re ahead of the curve. No scrambling later. No last-minute substitutions. Just clean, trusted components from the start.

Brevet’s Commitment to Clean Materials

From perfusion adapters to Y-connectors, Brevet’s components are molded with precision and transparency — both literally and ethically. We don’t use restricted substances, and we’re proud to align with RoHS 3 and California’s future-focused standards.
