RoHS Testing / RoHS Compliance / RoHS Certification in India

Restriction of Hazardous Substances RoHS in Electronics and Electricals products, 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 electronic and electrical products. All applicable products in the EU market since July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance.

Directive 2011/65/EU was published in 2011 by the EU, which is known as RoHS-Recast or RoHS 2. RoHS 2 includes a CE-marking directive, with RoHS compliance being required for CE marking of products. RoHS 2 also added Categories 8 and 9 i.e. ‘Medical devices and equipment’& ‘Control and monitoring equipment’ and has additional compliance record-keeping requirements.

Directive 2015/863 was published in 2015 by the EU, which is known as RoHS 3, with addition of four more restricted substances (phthalates) to the list of six.

RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following 10 restricted substances. The first six applied to the original RoHS while the last four were added under RoHS 3.

RoHS 2, Directive 2011/65/EU, was published in July 2011 by the European Commission. The scope of the original RoHS was expanded to cover all electronic/applicable electrical equipment, cables, and spare parts with compliance required by July 22, 2019 or sooner depending on product category.

RoHS 2 is also a CE-marking directive, with RoHS compliance now being required for CE marking of products. As such, all manufacturers of electrical/electronic products must comply with RoHS 2 before the CE mark can be applied on their products. The original green RoHS label with the checkmark is no longer required or used as the CE mark now includes RoHS compliance.

Your business probably will not escape RoHS compliance just because your products don't sell in the EU. There are other countries that have worked out their own version of RoHS as well.
