IEC 62321 RoHS Hazardous Substance Testing in Electrical Goods

IEC 62321 RoHS Hazardous Substance Testing in Electrical Goods

The IEC 62321 series of standards is pivotal for ensuring that electrical and electronic goods are free from hazardous substances, aligning with the broader goals of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. This service focuses on the comprehensive analysis of electrical components to identify and quantify the presence of restricted materials as outlined in IEC 62321:2021.

The primary objective is to ensure that manufacturers, importers, and distributors can meet regulatory requirements for market access in numerous jurisdictions worldwide. Compliance with these standards not only protects human health but also ensures environmental sustainability by minimizing the use of hazardous substances like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBDEs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

Our state-of-the-art laboratories employ advanced analytical techniques, including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), to perform precise and reliable testing. These methods allow for the detection of even trace amounts of restricted substances in complex materials.

The testing process begins with a detailed inventory of all component parts, followed by meticulous sample preparation. Our experienced technicians ensure that samples are representative of the entire batch or lot being tested. Once prepared, samples undergo rigorous analysis using ICP-MS and GC-MS to measure concentrations of targeted substances. The results are then compared against the threshold limits specified in IEC 62321:2021.

Our comprehensive approach ensures that clients receive not just test results but also detailed reports that provide insights into potential areas for improvement. This information can be invaluable for ongoing compliance and product development efforts. By partnering with our laboratory, you gain access to cutting-edge technology and expert guidance in navigating the complexities of RoHS compliance.

Our services extend beyond mere testing; we offer strategic advice on how to incorporate sustainable practices into your operations. From selecting compliant materials to implementing efficient production processes, we are committed to helping you achieve your sustainability goals while maintaining regulatory compliance.
