RoHS Testing: Ensure Compliance & Protect Your Brand

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 β€” helping you meet global compliance standards and safeguard your reputation.
