    ROHS Certificate (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Certificate)

    The ROHS Belgesi is a certification ensuring that electrical and electronic equipment complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). This directive restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in products sold within the European Union and other regions. RoHS compliance guarantees product safety and environmental sustainability by minimizing harmful substances in manufacturing processes.

    Purpose of the ROHS Certificate

    1. Environmental Protection:

      • Prevent hazardous substances from polluting the environment.

      • Promote the recycling and proper disposal of electrical and electronic equipment.

    2. Consumer Safety:

      • Reduce the health risks associated with exposure to toxic substances like lead and cadmium.

    3. Regulatory Compliance:

      • Ensure products meet EU Directive 2011/65/EU and other global RoHS requirements.

    4. Market Access:

      • Allow companies to sell products in RoHS-compliant regions, such as the EU and other jurisdictions adopting similar standards.

    5. Corporate Responsibility:

      • Demonstrate a company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and public health.

    Restricted Substances Under RoHS

    The RoHS Directive limits the use of the following substances:

    Substance

    Maximum Limit

    Lead (Pb)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Mercury (Hg)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Cadmium (Cd)

    0.01% (100 ppm)

    Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)

    0.1% (1000 ppm)

    Process to Obtain a RoHS Certificate

    1. Product Assessment:

      • Identify components and materials subject to RoHS restrictions.

      • Verify supplier declarations and test reports.

    2. Laboratory Testing:

      • Conduct chemical analyses to detect restricted substances using techniques like XRF, ICP-MS, and FTIR.

    3. Documentation Preparation:

      • Compile the Technical File, including material declarations, test reports, and manufacturing details.

    4. Conformity Declaration:

      • Issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) affirming compliance with RoHS standards.

    5. Certification:

      • Submit the documentation to an accredited certification body for validation and issuance of the RoHS certificate.

    RoHS Certification Standards

    1. EU Directive 2011/65/EU:

      • Core RoHS directive outlining restrictions and exemptions.

    2. IEC 63000:

      • Standard for technical documentation to demonstrate compliance.

    3. EN 62321:

      • Test methods for determining restricted substances in materials.

    Benefits of RoHS Certification

    1. Regulatory Compliance:

      • Ensure adherence to legal requirements in the EU and other RoHS-compliant regions.

    2. Global Market Access:

      • Expand opportunities in international markets requiring RoHS compliance.

    3. Environmental Sustainability:
