Ensuring Global Compliance: The Importance of RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance Testing
In todays fast-paced and highly competitive global market, businesses are constantly seeking ways to minimize risks and maximize opportunities. One critical area that requires attention is the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, a regulatory framework designed to protect human health and the environment from the negative impacts of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
What is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance Testing?
The RoHS directive was first introduced by the European Union in 2003, with subsequent updates in 2011 and 2015. Its primary aim is to limit the use of certain hazardous materials in the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment. The six restricted substances are:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI)
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
To ensure compliance with the RoHS directive, businesses must demonstrate that their products meet the established limits for these restricted substances. This is where Eurolabs RoHS Compliance Testing comes in a comprehensive laboratory service designed to help companies navigate this complex regulatory landscape.
