What is RoHS Testing?
RoHS Testing (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Testing) ensures that electrical and electronic equipment comply with European Union environmental and safety directives. These regulations protect consumers and the environment from harmful substances found in products.
The RoHS 1 directive, implemented on 1st July 2006, marked the beginning of this global movement. Over time, updates from RoHS 2 to RoHS 6 have expanded the list of restricted materials and defined exemptions based on product categories.
At Krishna Metallurgical Laboratories, our NABL-accredited RoHS testing lab provides accurate, reliable, and timely results — helping you meet global compliance standards and safeguard your reputation.
🔬 10 Restricted Substances Under RoHS
| Sr. No. | Restricted Substance | Symbol | Common Usage | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lead | Pb | Solder, glass | Neurological damage |
| 2 | Mercury | Hg | Switches, lamps | Toxic to humans |
| 3 | Cadmium | Cd | Batteries, pigments | Carcinogenic |
| 4 | Hexavalent Chromium | Cr⁶⁺ | Coatings | Skin & respiratory issues |
| 5 | Polybrominated Biphenyls | PBB | Flame retardants | Bioaccumulative |
| 6 | Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers | PBDE | Plastics | Endocrine disruptor |
| 7 | Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate | DEHP | PVC | Reproductive toxicity |
| 8 | Benzyl Butyl Phthalate | BBP | Plastics | Hormonal effects |
| 9 | Dibutyl Phthalate | DBP | Adhesives | Reproductive toxicity |
| 10 | Diisobutyl Phthalate | DIBP | Coatings | Developmental effects |
⚙️ Our RoHS Compliance Testing Process
Our RoHS certification process includes:
- Sample Testing – Identification and quantification of restricted substances.
- Technical Audit – Review of material and product data.
- Documentation Review – Verification of compliance records.
- Certification Issuance – Providing the RoHS Certificate of Compliance upon meeting all standards.
