RoHS
LSZH
The goal of the RoHS guidelines is to improve the environmental 
performance of a product in every stage of its lifecycle. Some 
materials that are used in electronics can be an environmental 
and public health hazard during the production or the breakdown 
of products. 
The European Union has taken measures to reduce the use 
of these materials. RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous 
Substances and is meant for restricting the use of the following 
6 substances:
1. Lead (Pb)
2. Kwik (Hg)
3. Cadmium (Cd)
4. Hexavalent Chroom (Cr6+)
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)*
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)*
* PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in several plastics.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen is a material classification typically 
used for cable jacketing in the wire and cable industry. LSZH 
cable jacketing is composed of thermoplastic or thermo set 
compounds that emit limited smoke and no halogen when 
exposed to high sources of heat, e.g. flame. 
Most network cables are insulated with polyethylene, PVC or 
Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU). In a fire, a halogen-containing 
plastic material releases, e.g. hydrogen chloride, a poisonous gas 
that forms hydrochloric acid when it comes in contact with water. Designated Halogen-
free cables, on the other hand, do not produce a dangerous gas/acid combination or 
toxic smoke when exposed to flame.
Low smoke zero halogen cable reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gas emitted 
during combustion. This type of material is typically used in poorly ventilated areas 
such as aircraft or rail cars. Low smoke zero halogen is becoming very popular and, in 
some cases, a requirement where the protection of people and equipment from toxic 
and corrosive gas is critical.
