EN 62321 RoHS Hazardous Substance Testing for EU Trade

EN 62321 RoHS Hazardous Substance Testing for EU Trade

The European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) is a regulation that sets maximum allowable concentrations of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Compliance with this directive ensures the safety, health, and environmental protection of people across Europe.

For businesses operating within or trading into the European Union, compliance with RoHS is not just a recommendation but a legal requirement. Eurolab's EN 62321 RoHS testing service provides comprehensive analysis to help you ensure your products meet these stringent standards. Our expertise ensures that your products are free from hazardous substances like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE).

The testing process is meticulous, involving the identification of all materials used in production. Once identified, these materials undergo rigorous analysis using state-of-the-art instrumentation such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF). This ensures precise measurement down to the parts-per-million level.

Our laboratory adheres strictly to EN 62321:2015 standard, which specifies the methods for determining the presence of restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The scope covers a wide range of products including consumer electronics, telecommunications devices, medical instruments, and industrial machinery.

Compliance with RoHS is crucial not only for avoiding penalties but also for maintaining your brand's reputation and market access. By partnering with Eurolab, you ensure that your products are tested against the highest industry standards. Our service goes beyond mere compliance; it provides a comprehensive understanding of your product's conformity to international regulations.

Compliance with RoHS is essential for businesses looking to expand their market reach within the EU and beyond. By ensuring compliance through our EN 62321 testing service, you not only meet regulatory requirements but also demonstrate your commitment to sustainable practices, which can be a significant selling point in today's consumer-driven market.

In summary, Eurolab’s EN 62321 RoHS Hazardous Substance Testing Service is designed to simplify the complexities involved in ensuring compliance with EU regulations. With our expertise and cutting-edge technology, we help you navigate through these requirements efficiently and effectively.

Scope and Methodology

Parameter Description Method
Lead (Pb) Maximum allowable concentration is 1000 ppm. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Mercury (Hg) Maximum allowable concentration is 100 ppm. X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF).
Cadmium (Cd) Maximum allowable concentration is 100 ppm. ICP-MS.
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) Maximum allowable concentration is 1000 ppm. XRF.
Polybrominated Diphenylethers (PBDE) Maximum allowable concentration is 2500 ppm. XRF and ICP-MS.

The testing process begins with sample preparation, which involves disassembling the product to isolate individual components. Each component is then cleaned to remove any external contaminants before analysis. This ensures that only the internal composition of each part is analyzed accurately.

Following sample preparation, the materials are subjected to rigorous chemical analysis using ICP-MS and XRF instruments. These instruments provide precise measurements down to parts-per-million levels, ensuring accuracy in identifying even trace amounts of restricted substances.

The results from these analyses are then compared against the allowable limits specified by EN 62321:2015. A report is generated based on this comparison which details whether each identified component meets or exceeds the allowed concentration levels for hazardous substances.

Our methodology ensures that all aspects of your product are thoroughly examined, providing you with comprehensive insights into its compliance status. This approach helps in identifying potential areas where improvements can be made to meet RoHS requirements fully.
