Halogen and Halogenated Organic Compounds Restrictions

Halogen elements refer to the non-metal elements in Group 7 of the periodic table, including five elements: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens generally exist in compounds in daily life and are highly toxic. During combustion processes, they can cause secondary pollution, generating highly toxic organic compounds such as dioxins. With the growing call for "halogen-free" materials, regULations like RoHS, REACH, Norway's POHS, and various U.S. state laws have introduced restrictions on certain halogenated compounds.

China JJR Laboratory Services:

Similar to the XRF scanning test principle of ROHS, XRF can also play an important role in halogen control. We can provide scanning services to preliminarily screen and determine the presence of chlorine and bromine elements in incoming materials.

Due to potential deviations in XRF testing results, cheMICal testing technologies for halogens are essential for high-risk substances. China JJR Laboratory can test the halogen content of samples according to the EN14582 standard (currently the most recognized method for halogen testing).
