EU RoHS 2 Recast Directive Services
The EU RoHS 2 Recast Directive (2011/65/EU) restricts the use of specific hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Compliance with this directive is crucial for manufacturers seeking to market their products in the European Union. Our specialized services assist in navigating the complexities of RoHS 2, ensuring your products meet the necessary requirements for safe and compliant market entry.
Understanding RoHS 2 Recast Directive
The RoHS 2 Directive expands on the original RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) by introducing stricter controls and broadening the scope to include more product categories. Key aspects include:
- Restricted Substances: Limits the use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants in electrical and electronic equipment.
- Expanded Scope: Applies to a wider range of products, including medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, and more.
- Conformity Assessment: Requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance through testing and documentation, often necessitating collaboration with Notified Bodies.
Why RoHS Compliance is Important
Compliance with the EU RoHS 2 Directive is essential for several reasons:
- Legal Compliance: Avoids potential fines and penalties associated with non-compliance while ensuring access to the EU market.
