What is RoHS?

Business Registration

RoHS – Restriction of Hazardous Substances

It controls the presence of toxic materials that can cause environmental pollution and health risks during manufacturing, usage, and disposal of electronic products.

RoHS helps protect people and the environment. It makes sure factories use safe materials and that products can be recycled safely. Products must follow RoHS rules before they are sold in these countries. It also helps stop toxic materials from causing health problems and pollution when products are made, used, or thrown away.

 

Restricted Substances Under RoHS

RoHS Testing checks whether the following hazardous substances are within allowed limits:

  • Lead (Pb)
  • Mercury (Hg)
  • Cadmium (Cd)
  • Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺)
  • Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
  • Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
  • Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
  • Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
  • Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
  • Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)

RoHS for Export Markets (EU / UK / GCC)

We register many types of creative works, including books, blogs, scripts, logos, graphics, drawings, music, songs, audio files, films, videos, software, apps, and source code. Whether your work is digital or offline, we help you protect it legally so that no one can copy, sell, or misuse it without your permission.

RoHS for European Union (EU)

- Mandatory under EU RoHS Directive
- Required for CE Marking
- Products without RoHS compliance cannot be sold in the EU

RoHS for United Kingdom (UK)

- Governed by UK RoHS Regulations
- Required for UKCA Marking
- Similar substance limits as EU RoHS

RoHS for GCC & Middle East

- Many GCC countries follow EU-style RoHS requirements
- Required for government tenders and large projects
- Often demanded by buyers and authorities

Why is RoHS Testing Important?

RoHS Testing is important because it keeps people and the environment safe. It makes sure electronic products do not contain dangerous chemicals. This helps prevent health problems and reduces pollution when products are used or thrown away.

RoHS Testing is important because it:

  • Is mandatory for electrical and electronic products
  • Ensures compliance with environmental regulations
  • Supports CE Marking and global market approvals
  • Reduces health and environmental risks
  • Prevents shipment rejection and penalties
  • Improves buyer and regulatory acceptance
  • Enhances brand reputation and sustainability image

Products Covered Under RoHS Compliance

RoHS Testing is commonly required for:

  • Electrical and electronic products
  • LED lights and luminaires
  • Chargers, adapters, and power supplies
  • Consumer electronics
  • IT and telecom equipment
  • Cables, wires, and connectors
  • Industrial electrical and electronic equipment

If your product contains electronic components, RoHS compliance is generally required.

RoHS Standards & Regulations

RoHS Testing is conducted as per applicable regulations and standards, such as:

  • EU RoHS Directive
  • IEC 62321 series (test methods)
  • Indian RoHS requirements (as applicable)
  • Buyer-specific and country-specific RoHS rules

The applicable regulation depends on the target market and product category.

RoHS Testing Process (Step-by-Step)

  1. Product and material assessment
  2. Identification of components and test scope
  3. Sample submission to NABL-accredited laboratory
  4. Screening and chemical analysis
  5. Review of test results
  6. Issuance of RoHS Test Report

JS Certification Services manages the entire process, including laboratory coordination and documentation support.

Methods & Technology Used in RoHS Testing

RoHS Testing is performed using advanced analytical techniques, including:

  • XRF Screening (X-Ray Fluorescence)
  • ICP-OES / ICP-MS analysis
  • GC-MS for phthalates
  • Wet chemical analysis

The test method depends on product type and regulatory requirements.

Documents Required for RoHS Testing

To do RoHS Testing, some documents are needed. These include product details, material lists, test reports from the manufacturer, safety certificates, and technical files. These documents help prove that the product follows RoHS rules.

  • Product datasheet or technical specification
  • Bill of Materials (BOM)
  • Component details (if available)
  • Product photographs
  • Manufacturer or importer details

RoHS Testing Turnaround Time

  • Typical Timeline: 5–7 working days
  • Timeline may vary depending on product complexity and number of components tested

Benefits of RoHS Testing

RoHS Testing provides multiple business and compliance benefits:

  • Ensures regulatory compliance
  • Enables export to regulated markets
  • Reduces environmental impact
  • Improves product acceptance by buyers
  • Prevents legal penalties and recalls
  • Builds customer trust and brand value
  • Supports CE and other certifications

Impact of Non-Compliance with RoHS

Failure to comply with RoHS regulations can result in serious consequences:

  • Ban on product sale in regulated markets
  • Shipment rejection at customs
  • Heavy fines and legal penalties
  • Product recalls and re-testing costs
  • Loss of buyers and contracts
  • Damage to brand reputation

RoHS Testing helps eliminate these risks before market entry.

RoHS Certificate vs RoHS Test Report

Many companies confuse a RoHS Certificate with a RoHS Test Report.

RoHS Test Report

  • Issued by a NABL-accredited laboratory
  • Contains detailed test results
  • Technical proof of RoHS compliance
  • Mandatory for audits and approvals

RoHS Certificate

  • Issued based on the test report
  • Declares product compliance
  • Used for buyers, tenders, and documentation

RoHS Test Report is the base document, and the certificate is issued based on it.

RoHS vs REACH (Brief Difference)

  • RoHS: Restricts hazardous substances in electronic products
  • REACH: Controls chemical safety and substance registration

Point

RoHS

REACH

Full Form

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals

Main Purpose

Stops harmful chemicals in electronic products

Controls chemicals used in all industries

Applies To

Electrical and electronic items

All products, materials, and chemicals

Focus
