RoHS testing
The laboratory of J.S. Hamilton Poland S.A. in Siemianowice Śląskie offers ROHS testing of electrical and electronic equipment according to directives 2011/65/EU ROHS DIRECTIVE II, 2015/863 ROHS DIRECTIVE III, DIRECTIVE 2017/2102
RoHS testing concerns the restriction of certain hazardous substances such as:
- lead
- mercury
- cadmium
- chromium (VI)
- polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
- polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
- di 2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)
- Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
- Diisobutyl phthalate (9DIBP)
At the J.S. Hamilton laboratory, ROHS testing is performed using a screening method, XRF, which combines the highest accuracy and precision in elemental composition analysis.
If the presence of Pb, Br, Cd, Cr, Hg is detected, or if the result is close to the limit of acceptability for a given element, the sample must be additionally verified by chromatographic and spectrometric methods, which are performed at our branch in Gdynia.
In the course of further analysis, the content of Pb, Cr(VI), Hg, Cd and PBB and PBDE is determined in detail.
