REACH Compliance Testing of IoT Products
The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation is a European Union regulation that addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on human health and the environment. REACH applies to any product containing one or more chemicals, including smart and connected consumer devices. As these IoT products become increasingly complex and integrated into daily life, ensuring compliance with REACH regulations is crucial for manufacturers.
Our service specializes in providing comprehensive testing solutions tailored to ensure that IoT products meet the stringent requirements of REACH. This involves a series of steps designed to identify potential chemical hazards and evaluate their safety levels. The process begins with an initial review of product design, materials used, and manufacturing processes to assess compliance risks.
In-depth analysis is conducted using state-of-the-art analytical techniques such as GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry), and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). These tools help in detecting trace amounts of regulated substances, ensuring that no harmful chemicals exceed the allowable limits set by REACH.
Our team also performs extensive documentation to support our findings. This includes detailed reports outlining all test results and recommendations for necessary adjustments or additional testing if required. Compliance certificates are issued upon successful completion, providing assurance to clients that their products meet EU standards.
