RoHS is a European Union directive restricting the use of hazardous materials in both products imported or made within the EU. With our online platform, you can easily book your Laboratory Tests and keep your production RoHS compliant.
RoHS Compliance Testing
RoHS Compliance
(RoHS) is a set of EU regulations that implements EU Directive 2002/95 that restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This directive bans placing on the EU market, any product having an electrical/electronic component containing more than thresholds set for lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.
RoHS affects any company importing goods containing electrical components into the European Union. QIMA Laboratory Testing can help you prepare, implement and comply with RoHS regulations. Our testing services allow you to place your products with confidence on the targeted markets. To learn more about our mandatory third-party testing and certification of a wide range of products, please complete the Need More Information form on the right.
RoHS Updates
On 31 March 2015 the EC published the Directive 2015/863 which adds four additional substances to RoHS. This directive is slated for adoption and publishing by EU governments internally by the end of 2016. The additional four substances* will be applied by 22 July 2019 (except where exemptions permit as stated in Annex II).
*Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
RoHS Compliance Testing
Testing with QIMA allows you to integrate your RoHS testing during your product Inspection. Guarantee the sample is from your production, not a sample the factory wants you to test.
You will receive a detailed report informing you if your product passed or failed the RoHS compliance test.
