Have you heard RoHS? What about RoHS 3.0?

     RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, mainly used to restrict the use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment. The Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic and Electrical Equipment is also known as the 2002/95/EC Directive; the Resolution 2005/618 /EC supplement it, the latest version 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2.0)

     It stipulates that the following six substances cannot use in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market: Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr⁶⁺, PBBs, and PBDEs.

     Last week, one of my USA customer ask me this question. When I hear it, I am very confused, because I have never hear RoHS 3.0 before. Then I search on the internet, I found there is a compliance. On June 4, 2015, the European Union promulgated the RoHS2.0 revision directive to officially classify 4 toxic and hazardous substances DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP have been added to the scope of RoHS2.0 control, and there are 10 kinds of toxic and hazardous substances added to the four new restrictions. It is EU Directive 2015/863, and many of our America friend call it RoHS 3.0.

     Then, when we understand clearly, what RoHS 3.0 is, should we know how to detect these hazardous substances with our products?

     RoHS 3.0(EU Directive 2015/863) Testing system include organic compound detector & RoHS Halogen-free environmental analyzer.

     RoHS Halogen-free environmental analyzer mainly used to detector Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr⁶⁺, PBBs, and PBDEs. It use America brand AMPTEK Si-PIN X-123 detector & international advance XRF analysis software. It combines with several traditional analysis method such as empirical coefficient method and the fundamental parameter method (FP method), theoretical α coefficient method and so on, guarantees the precision of measuring data.

     Organic compound detector mainly used to detector DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP.

It has the following advantages: If you are producing electronic and electrical products, toy products, etc., if you want to develop the European market, please follow me to learn about the (EU) "Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive".
