Legislation and Compliance
RoHS Certificate of Compliance
EU Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 restrict the use of the 10 substances below in the manufacture of specified types of electrical equipment.
Whilst this restriction does not legally apply to components, it is recognised that component “compliance” is relevant to many customers.
RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".
RS Components has taken all reasonable steps to confirm this statement. Information relates only to products sold on or after the date of this certificate.

Product Details
RS PRO RS12 Digital Multimeter Manual-Ranging
The RS PRO RS12 digital multimeter (DMM) is a handheld tool which can measure capacitance, voltage, current, resistance and temperature. It comes with manual ranging so you can select the range you desire via the dial on the front of the device. There is also a “hold” function available in the compact design making it very user-friendly. The RS12 multimeter is also CAT III rated for 600V.
Measuring diode, voltage, current, resistance and temperature the battery powered device is great for continuity and portability. A robust, double-moulded, plastic housing provides ultimate protection from harsh environments. Included with the multimeter itself are electrical test leads, type K temperature probe, 9V battery and a user manual. The RS12 is RS Approved, meaning not only is it great value for money, but you can rely on its quality.

Safety guidelines
When using any electrical test equipment it is advised that you refer to the user’s manual for proper working operating procedures and safety precautions in order to avoid potential safety hazards.
What is the difference between an analogue and a digital multimeter?
The main difference is the display. A digital multimeter will show the results as numbers on a screen (usually a LED or LCD screen) whereas the analogue version has a needle to show the value.
