RoHS Analysis: European Certification for the Compliance of Your Products

If you are looking for a specialized laboratory for RoHS analysis to obtain CE certification, you are in the right place. We offer a complete RoHS analysis and testing service to ensure that your electronic and electrical products comply with European regulations. This is a fundamental step to market safe and environmentally friendly devices in Europe.

What is the RoHS Directive and Why is it Important?

The RoHS ("Restriction of Hazardous Substances") directive is a regulation introduced by the European Union to limit the use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium in electrical and electronic products. This directive aims to reduce environmental impact and ensure greater safety for consumers and those involved in production and recycling. Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS II) replaced the previous Directive 2002/95/EC, expanding the scope and refining the technical documentation required for compliance. Compliance with the RoHS directive is mandatory to apply the CE marking to your products and place them on the European market.

RoHS II has introduced new categories of products subject to restrictions, increasing from eight to eleven categories, including medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, and other electrical and electronic equipment not previously covered. Additionally, it has harmonized restricted substances with similar regulations such as REACH, contributing to more effective management of hazardous substances.

Examples of Products Commonly Tested for RoHS Compliance

RoHS analysis is often applied to a wide range of electronic and electrical products, such as:

• Consumer electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers.
• Household appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and microwaves.
• Electronic components, including printed circuit boards, cables, and connectors.
• Lighting equipment, such as LED bulbs and industrial lighting systems.
These products must comply with hazardous substance limits to be legally sold on the European market.

The RoHS Directive and Major Changes

The new directive has extended the scope of substances subject to restriction, including new product categories and refining the necessary technical documentation, such as the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and CE marking. Obligations have been expanded for all operators in the production and distribution chain, who must ensure product compliance, maintain documentation for at least 10 years, and take corrective measures if necessary.
