RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a European Union rule that restricts the use of certain hazardous elements found in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). RoHS testing assures that your goods are free of hazardous compounds such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and certain flame retardants, encouraging both environmental protection and consumer safety.
RoHS is a test procedure, not a certification. When a product successfully passes RoHS testing, a RoHS Certificate of Compliance is given, indicating that it fulfills the directive’s ingredient restrictions.
There is a prevalent misperception that RoHS is a certification scheme. In practice, RoHS requires laboratory testing and analysis to ensure that dangerous chemicals are within allowed levels. Following testing, the laboratory provides a test report, which serves as the basis for the RoHS Compliance Certificate. This paperwork verifies RoHS compliance throughout audits, imports, and product releases.
RoHS testing plays a crucial role in ensuring that electrical and electronic products are safe for human use and environmentally friendly. It helps:
RoHS testing services are suitable for:
Our experts review your product details, materials, and RoHS requirements to determine the right testing scope and process.
You provide representative product samples for analysis along with relevant technical data or specifications.
Accredited laboratories conduct RoHS testing to detect and quantify restricted substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and others.
A comprehensive test report is issued, detailing results and confirming compliance with RoHS standards if limits are met.
