RoHS is a European Union directive restricting the use of hazardous materials in products imported or made within the EU. See how QIMA’s RoHS testing can help you keep your production RoHS compliant.
RoHS Compliance Testing
RoHS Compliance
Our RoHS laboratory testing helps you prepare, implement, and comply with RoHS regulations. RoHS testing and certification allow you to place your products on the market with confidence.
RoHS (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) is a set of EU regulations that restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This directive bans placing on the EU market any product having an electrical/electronic component containing more than thresholds set for the following substances:
- Lead
- Cadmium
- Mercury
- Hexavalent chromium
- Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
- Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants
- Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
- Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
- Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
Any company that imports or sells goods containing electrical components into the European Union must be RoHS compliant.
RoHS Compliance Testing
Manufacturers hold the responsibility of ensuring compliance with RoHS. Third-party laboratory testing ensures that all production batches are properly tested for all hazardous substances restricted by RoHS.
Our RoHS testing guarantees compliance with RoHS, allowing you to sell your products on the EU market with peace of mind. Our testing process is quick and flexible and can be integrated into your product quality control inspection.
We test random samples from your production, not a sample the factory wants you to test, to ensure unbiased results. You will receive a detailed report informing you if your product passed or failed the RoHS compliance test.

Environmental Labeling Obligations for Packaging: EU and UK Rules
Packaging is an essential component of the product life cycle, but it is also becoming a significant environmental concern.

Recycled Polyester (rPET) in Your Supply Chain: What You Need to Know
Polyester has been a staple in the textile industry since the 1970s. However, the negative environmental impact of polyester fabric has raised concerns among consumers. As a result, recycled polyester fabrics are gaining popularity as a more sustainable alternative.
While many brands and suppliers are making efforts to incorporate recycled polyester fabrics into their products, it remains challenging to verify the authenticity and quantity of recycled polyester in these items. This presents a dilemma for consumers who want to make informed choices.
