RoHS 2 Directive Verification Testing: A Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Services

Standard-Related Information

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive is a European Union (EU) legislation that restricts the use of hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The directive was first introduced in 2002, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of EEE by limiting the presence of six hazardous substances: lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

To ensure compliance with RoHS 2 Directive, manufacturers must verify that their products meet the required standards. Eurolabs laboratory testing services provide a comprehensive solution for verifying compliance with the directive.

Relevant Standards

  • EN 50581:2011: Safety of electrical and electronic products in case of fire - Requirements for the protection against thermal effects
