INTRODUCTION

RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances and impacts the entire electronics industry and many electrical products as well. The original RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union in 2002 and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market since July 1, 2006, must pass RoHS compliance.

What are the restricted materials mandated under RoHS?

The substances banned under RoHS are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and four different phthalates (DEHP, BBP, BBP, DIBP).

What are the benefits of ROHS certification?

There are two important benefits of RoHS certification in Delhi that can be accrued with electronic product manufacturers, as well as for the customers:

Product Reliability:

Most of the renowned electronics manufacturers have selected RoHS. Clients are now assured to get a complete product safety. As a result, the reliability of the manufacturers and the brands also have improved dramatically. The sale and electronic components have drastically increased by this.

Reduce Instance of Heavy Metal Poisoning

Most of the E-waste is transported to the factories. Along with the customers the workers working in the factories suffer the most when it comes to mercury and lead poisoning. RoHS certification ensures the use of lead-free components and thus reduces the number of heavy metal hazardous cases.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
  • A general description of the product
  • Documents for material, parts and assemblies/sub-assemblies
  • Information showing the relationship between technical documents and the corresponding material, part, assemblies/sub-assemblies
  • List of harmonized standards used to establish a technical documentation
PROCEDURE

Application/Contract Review

Continual assessment (surveillance audit).

REFUSING, SUSPENSION, RESTORING OF CERTIFICATION :

ROHS can refuse for the certification :

  • Client organization is not ready to conduct the stage 2 audit within the stipulated time
  • The client organization is not closing the majors with the stipulated time frame.
  • Client organization has not paid the full amount or any other dues of ROHS.
  • Client organization has denied to ROHS audit team to provide access to the information required to achieve the objective of the audit.

ROHS can suspend the certification in the following situation

  • The client’s certified management system has persistently or seriously failed to meet certification requirements, including requirements for the effectiveness of the management system;
  • The certified client does not allow surveillance or recertification audits to be conducted at the required frequencies;
  • The certified client has voluntarily requested a suspension.
Restoring of Certification

Under the suspension, the certification is temporarily invalid. The suspended certificate can be restored with 6 months if the issue of the suspension is resolved. In case the issue of suspension is not resolved than ROHS can either withdraw the certificate or reduce the scope of the certification as the case may be.

ROHS can reduce the scope of certification to exclude the part not meeting the requirements when the certified client has persistently or seriously failed to meet the certification requirements for those part of the scope of certification. Any such reduction shall be in line with the requirement of the standard used for certification.

ROHS shall make the decision on renewing the certification based on the result of the recertification audits as well as the result of the review of the system over the period of certification and complaints received from users of certifications.

It takes around 30-45 days
WHY US ?

Point 1

Their separate existence is a myth. For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar.

Point 2

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances.

Point 3

No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally.

FAQs

RoHS may be a product level compliance supported the ecu Union’s Directive 2002/95/EC, the Restriction of the utilization of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and equipment (RoHS). Organizations often prove RoHS compliance with a letter of compliance issued by an employee of the corporate .

The goal of RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) is to scale back the environmental effect and health impact of electronics. The legislation’s primary purpose is to form electronics manufacturing safer at every stage of an electronic device’s life cycle.

RoHS restricts the utilization of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products and their components. However, certain applications could also be exempt from RoHS restriction if it’s technically or scientifically impracticable to ban the utilization of certain hazardous substances at the present .

Similar to the EU legislation, the Indian government requires manufacturers and importers to supply only RoHS-compliant products and to provide written documentation supporting compliance.
