RoHS, also known as the 2002/95/EC Directive, was supplemented by the European Union in 2005, specifying the maximum limits of six harmful substances (mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium (hexavalent), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
There are currently 30 exemption materials.
At the end of 2008, the EU proposed that HBCD, DEHP, DBP and BBP should be listed as priority assessment substances, and that they might be added to the RoHS control list in the future.
In 2009, the European Parliament proposed adding BFR, CFR, PVC, DEHP, DBP, BBP and chlorinated plasticizers to the RoHS Directive in 2014.
Electronic and electrical products in the markets of EU Member States shall not contain six toxic and harmful substances or elements.
Heavy metals: cadmium and cadmium compounds Cd, lead and lead compounds Pb, mercury and compounds Hg, hexavalent chromium compounds Cr.
Organic bromides: PBBs and PBDEs.
In addition, we also provide the following new restricted substance testing:
1. Phthalates,
2. PAHs,
3. Tetrabromobisphenol A TBBP-A,
4. PFOS, PFOA,
5. Nonyl Phenol (NP),
6. Benzotriazole,
7. Halogen,
8. VOC
The detection of heavy metals in electronics and electrical appliances is mainly based on ROHS and provides professional certification report.
