Comprehensive Guide to IEC 62321 Determination of Certain Substances in Electrotechnical Products Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

IEC 62321 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for determining certain substances in electrotechnical products. This standard is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is widely adopted across the globe. The standard provides a framework for laboratories to follow when testing and analyzing samples from electrotechnical products.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding IEC 62321 is complex and varies depending on the region and industry. In general, manufacturers of electrotechnical products are required to comply with regulations related to substance restrictions, such as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). These regulations require manufacturers to ensure that their products do not contain certain hazardous substances.

International and National Standards

IEC 62321 is part of a series of standards developed by the IEC for determining specific substances in electrotechnical products. Some of the key national and international standards related to this testing service include:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • ASTM E2553-11 Standard Practice for Testing for Lead in Drywall and Related Materials
