RoHS Compliance Testing for Electronics
In today's globalized marketplace, compliance with regulations like the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is not just a recommendation; it is a legal requirement. For consumer products and electronics manufacturers, ensuring compliance with RoHS helps in avoiding hefty fines and reputational damage.
RoHS aims to reduce environmental pollution by restricting the use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment. This service focuses on providing comprehensive testing solutions for products that fall under this category.
Our state-of-the-art laboratories are equipped with the latest analytical instruments, including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). These tools allow us to perform precise and reliable analysis of your products. Our expertise lies in offering accurate determinations of the specified hazardous substances at parts per million levels.
Compliance testing typically involves sample preparation where we ensure that the samples are representative of the entire batch or product line. The choice of analytical techniques is crucial, as certain methods may be more suitable for detecting trace elements than others. For instance, ICP-MS provides high sensitivity and accuracy in measuring low concentrations of metals.
Our team follows strict quality control measures throughout the testing process to ensure that results are accurate and reliable. We also provide detailed reports that outline test methods used, results obtained, and compliance status. These documents serve as crucial records for your regulatory submissions.
| Standard | Description |
