I can see that the RoHS Directive which bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than the agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants, however can any tell me what regulation or standard is it which covers ozone the manufacturing of electronic equipment?

There isn't.
You will have regulations relating to ozone depleting substances in your 'air' section of your Environmental legal register but not H&S.
RoHS or the lead free directive as its known sits nicely next door to WEEE.
Neither have anything to do with ozone.

I knew this as much re. the two, but thanks clarifiying re. the lack of anything overseeing ozone. I knew that COSHH would apply re. the usage, but naturally curious if there was anything which related to the manufacturing.

There are Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) in place to protect the health of workers exposed to
hazardous substances. WELs are occupational exposure limits set under COSHH. The Health and Safety Executive guidance note EH40 (“Workplace Exposure limits”), gives workplace exposure limits for ozone.
This document states a Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of 0.2 ppm / 0.40 mg/m3
