RoHS Certification Testing Compliance

Service Details

Product Description RoHS Compliance Testing has become standard procedure for most manufacturers, sellers, distributors and recyclers of electrical and electronic components or equipment sold or used in the European Union. The need for RoHS testing is a result of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS Directive, which became effective on July 1, 2006. The Directive was drawn up in the European Union to protect human health and the environment from hazardous substances by restricting the use of six hazardous chemicals in electrical and electronic products.We facuilitate wirh the approved laboratories to determine the level of the following first four substances restricted by RoHS in component material Other Details:Effective contacts with testing departmentsQuick and efficient preliminary inspectionSkilled personnel for product testingRohs - Self Certified and through Notified BodyRoHS Directive – RESCTRICTION OF HAZARDDOUS SUBSTANCESAn Article 95 (Single Market) Directive Seeks to reduce the environmental impact of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) at end of lifeProducts which do not comply cannot be placed on the EU marketComplementary to the WE DirectiveRoHS Directive - RequirementsFrom July 1, 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market should not containLeadMercuryHexavalent ChromiumCadmiumPolybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) Rohs Compliance The Directive requires that electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU, That does not contain: Lead (Pb)Mercury (Hg)Cadmium (Cd)Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)PBB and PBDE are flame retardants used in several plastics. Hexavalent chromium is used in the welding, grinding, or brazing of stainless steel. The maximum permitted concentrations are 0.1% or 1000 ppm (except for cadmium, which is limited to 0.01% or 100 ppm) by weight of homogeneous material. This means that the limits do not apply to the weight of the finished product, or even to a component, but to any single substance that could (theoretically) be separated mechanically—for example, the sheath on a cable or the tinning on a component lead.Examples of product components containing restricted substancesRoHS restricted substances have been used in a broad array of consumer electronics products. Examples of leaded components include: Paints and pigmentsPVC (vinyl) cables as a stabilizer (e.g., power cords, USB cables)SoldersPrinted circuit board finishes, leads, internal and external interconnectsGlass in television and photographic products (e.g., CRT television screens and camera lenses)Metal PartsLamps and bulbsBatteries Cadmium is found in many of the above components, examples include plastic pigmentation, nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries and CdS photocells (used in night lights). Mercury is used in lighting applications and automotive switches, examples include fluorescent lamps (used in laptops for backlighting) and mercury tilt switches (these are rarely used nowadays). Hexavalent chromium is used for metal finishes to prevent corrosion. Polybrominated biphenyls and diphenyl Ethers/Oxides are used primarily as flame retardants.
