RoHS compliance and testing for electronics going to the EU, UK and India.
Show your electrical and electronic products meet the ten RoHS substance limits. We plan testing at accredited labs, collect supplier declarations, build the technical file and EU Declaration of Conformity, and cover India’s e-waste RoHS rule too.
What RoHS compliance involves
Substance Limits
Ten substances limited in every homogeneous material of the product.
Evidence
Test reports, supplier declarations and a technical file.
Declaration
