IEC 62321 Electrochemical Hazardous Substance Testing

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard IEC 62321 specifies the procedure for testing hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This service plays a crucial role in ensuring that products comply with global regulatory requirements, particularly those designed to protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals.

Electrochemical testing involves analyzing chemical components within an electrochemical system where electrodes interact with ionic solutions. For IEC 62321 compliance, this process is critical for identifying hazardous substances that could leach out of products during their lifecycle. The testing method evaluates the potential risks associated with these substances by simulating real-world conditions such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to water.

The primary scope of our IEC 62321 testing service includes:

Identification of hazardous chemicals in electrical and electronic products
Evaluation of leachate from products under specified conditions
Assessment of the potential for migration of harmful substances

The testing apparatus used includes specialized equipment such as electrochemical cells, pH meters, conductivity meters, and automated sample handling systems. These tools ensure accurate measurement of chemical concentrations and compliance with IEC 62321 standards.

Our laboratory adheres strictly to IEC 62321 guidelines to provide reliable results that meet regulatory expectations. This includes:

Compliance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation requirements
Use of certified reference materials (CRMs)
Adherence to international standards such as IEC 62321-1, -2, and -3

In summary, our IEC 62321 Electrochemical Hazardous Substance Testing service ensures that your products are safe and compliant with global regulations. By identifying hazardous substances early in the product lifecycle, we help you mitigate risks and maintain a positive reputation.
