RoHS Testing For Banned Substance

To make electronics safer for the consumers, Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS bans the usage of certain hazardous substances in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment. Substances like Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) are banned by RoHS. You can visit www.pcbassemblydepot.com to know more about RoHS banned substances.

Despite of the ban, many RoHS restricted substances are found in some Surface Mount Components like glass used in photography and television such as CRT television screens and camera lenses. RoHS restricted substances are also found in leads, Cable Harness Assembly, lamps, bulbs, in PVC (vinyl) cables as a stabilizer, printed circuit board finishes, external and internal interconnects, paints and pigments, metal parts and solders or RoHS soldering.

To ascertain the level of RoHS restricted substance, quantity used while manufacturing of electronic gadgets, a RoHS testing is conducted. These tests are conducted by highly trained technicians with the help of some of the most moderns RoHS testing apparatuses like ICP-OES, GC-ECD, hand-held XRF screening, ICP-MS, FTIR, UV-vis, GC-MS and other similar RoHS ascertaining techniques.

No electronic component or equipment can be sold in the market without undergoing a rigorous RoHS conformity test.

To determine the compliance with RoHS and WEEE standards all the electronic equipment and gadgets need to pass RoHS Testing. Products are tested using Non Destructive Screening Method using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) and Verification Method using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectrometer. RoHS testing helps in putting a ceiling on the usage of restricted substance in such a way that it doesn’t have any impact on the utility and output of the product.
