Laboratory Verification of RoHS Compliance

The RoHS Directive and its subsequent updates RoHS 2 and RoHS 3 limit the presence of hazardous substances such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6 +), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and some phthalates in electrical and electronic equipment and their constituent parts in order to protect both human health and the environment.

The directive applies to all Electrical and Electronic Equipment such as electric bulbs, household lighting, medical devices, measuring instruments, control and monitoring equipment.

The new RoHS directives (RoHS 2 and 3) have extended the field of application to new product categories and added four other limitations to as many substances compared to the previous Directive.

CSI assists manufacturers, importers and distributors with conformity tests such as:

  • BOM evaluation and sampling rationalization;
  • XRF (X-ray fluorescence) screening for elemental semi quantitative detection;
  • ICP-MS, ICP-OES; for precise verification of metal species;
  • GC-MS, GC-ECD; for the timely verification of the presence of phthalates;
  • UV-vis. For the spot test for CrVI + on surfaces.

Tests can be performed on materials, components, product parts and final products.
