RoHS Compliance Testing Laboratory

As global environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, directives such as RoHS, REACH, and California Proposition 65 impose strict restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, toys, packaging materials, and more. In China, regulations like the Administrative Measures on the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Productsalso set clear requirements. By 2025, the EU REACH SVHC list will include 250 substances, and the RoHS Directive limits 10 categories of substances. Non-compliant products face risks such as recalls, fines, or market bans.

Importance of Compliance testing

1.Regulatory Compliance for Export

Ensures conformity with laws in key markets including the EU, U.S., and China.

2.Risk Mitigation

Prevents product recalls, penalties, and associated financial losses.

3.Enhanced Competitiveness

Environmental certifications improve brand image and consumer trust.

4.Supply Chain Management

Ensures raw materials and components meet environmental standards.

5.Corporate Social Responsibility

Reduces harm to human health and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much sample is required for hazardous substance testing?

It depends on the product and test. Typically 5–10g per homogeneous material for electronics, and 20–50g for plastic items. Please consult with our technical team.

What’s the difference between RoHS 1.0 and RoHS 2.0?

RoHS 2.0 (2011/65/EU) expands on RoHS 1.0 (2002/95/EC) by including additional product categories like medical and monitoring equipment and adds four restricted phthalates.

How does REACH differ from RoHS?

RoHS limits 6 or 10 hazardous substances in electronics. REACH applies to all chemicals and industries. Its SVHC list (currently 235 substances) is regularly updated and requires supply chain communication.

How long is a test report valid?

Reports do not have a fixed expiry but should be renewed annually due to possible changes in materials, processes, and regulations—especially for export products.

How do I know if my product needs hazardous substance testing?

Consider the regulations in your target market, product category, and client requirements.
