RoHS Compliance for Electrical Cables
Testing cables for RoHS compliance
The Cable Lab® is accredited to ISO 17025 to identify the presence and levels of any RoHS restricted substances in goods. It is also possible to test for the presence of other substances including alloys in metals. The list of restricted substances reflects the requirements of RoHS 3.
RoHS Restricted Substance | Chemical Abbreviation | Maximum concentration value |
---|---|---|
Lead | Pb | 0.1% |
Mercury | Hg | 0.1% |
Hexavalent chromium | Cr 6+ | 0.1% |
Polybrominated Biphenyls | PBB | 0.1% |
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers | PBDE | 0.1% |
Cadmium | Cd | 0.01% |
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate | DEHP | 0.01% |
Butylbenzylphthalate | BBP | 0.01% |
Dibutylephthalate | DBP | 0.01% |
Diisobutylphthalate | DIBP | 0.01% |
Our experienced lab technicians test our cables and third-party cables' RoHS compliance using advanced instrumentation ensuring reliable and fast test results. Testing to demonstrate RoHS compliant cables is a key part of our commitment to quality and compliance for cables throughout the marketplace.
It should be noted that under RoHS 3 (EU 2015/863) compliance with the RoHS Directive is included and implied within CE marking.
