Rohs analysis
RoHS analysis is a crucial step for companies that need to ensure their products comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances ( RoHS) Directive. This European legislation imposes strict limits on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and improving user safety.
TEC Eurolab's ROHS analysis
At TEC Eurolab we support clients in verifying products and components in compliance with the RoHS Directive. The following sections will explain the main techniques used to detect the presence of banned substances and the criteria followed to ensure product compliance with regulations. The goal is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth overview of how ROHS analysis is conducted and what tools are used to ensure accurate results that comply with international standards.
Analysis services offered
TEC Eurolab offers its customers an integrated testing service to meet the requirements of RoHS regulations, ensuring that manufacturers, importers and distributors of electrical and electronic equipment can certify the compliance of their products.
Analysis tools
To perform RoHS testing at TEC Eurolab we use state-of-the-art instrumentation that allows us to check for the presence of hazardous substances in products. Specifically, the instruments used are spectrometers such as EDXRF and ICP, colorimeters for chromium detection, and gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer for Phthalates and polybrominated.
Testing methods
At TEC Eurolab, RoHS analysis methods are based on advanced techniques and rigorous testing protocols to ensure maximum accuracy and reliability of results. In particular, we can perform:
- Screening by EDXRF (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr, Br)
- ICP plasma emission spectrometry analysis (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr)
- SEM scanning electron microscope with EDX probe
- Colorimetric analysis for the presence of chromium VI
- Ion chromatography analysis with speciation of chromium VI with diphenylcarbazide
- GC-MS analysis for phthalate and polybrominated content
Conduct RoHS analysis and verify product compliance
The benefits of RoHS testing
RoHS analyses find application in all industries that employ electrical and electronic equipment, such as home appliances, computer and lighting equipment, power tools, medical devices, and monitoring and control instruments.
RoHS testing ensures that products meet the limits imposed by the RoHS Hazardous Substances Directive. The benefits from these tests are many: RoHS compliance is critical to avoid penalties and marketing blockages, while verification of compliance ensures that products are safe and reliable. In addition, TEC Eurolab offers an integrated service, supporting the customer at every stage, from theexecution of RoHS testing to the declaration of productcompliance, thus contributing to increased market competitiveness and the creation of high-quality products in line with current regulations.
