What is RoHS Compliance Testing at Element?

Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance testing verifies that electrical and electronic products meet stringent restrictions on hazardous substances. Since the July 2021 expiration of the medical device exemption, additional testing is required for compliance, particularly for EAEU market access.

At Element, we provide comprehensive testing for all ten restricted chemicals under the latest RoHS3 Directive, delivering the data and insights you need for both EU and EAEU market compliance.
