As technology is been getting an increase, we are
discovering new elements and materials and we are also using that material in
our industries. Some of the elements that we are using in the day today’s life
can be hazardous for human beings as well as for nature and some can be
beneficial. So, we should restrict the use of hazardous elements and substances
in industries as well as for the common people. An increase in the use of
hazardous materials may affect nature and hence the pollution may get an increase
to the peak.
The Indian organizations should also follow the
ISO Certification in India as it would help the organizations to get the other
types of certification easily because of the popularity of the ISO
Certification that is widely used in the world.
So to decrease the use of hazardous materials, one
organization should follow the guidelines of ROHS Certification that restricts
the use of hazardous materials. So to get detailed information on the ROHS
Certification, read the blog till the end.
What is
meant by ROHS Certification?
The ROHS is an abbreviation for Restriction of
Hazardous Substances. It is also known as Directive 2002/95/EC which was
originated in the European Union. This certification restricts the use of
hazardous materials that are found in electric and electronic products.
Which
materials are restricted under the ROHS?
The substances and materials that are banned under
the ROHS are Mercury(Hg), Lead(Pb), Hexavalent Chromium(CrVI), Cadmium(Cd),
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), and polybrominated biphenyls (PBB).
What are
the benefits of the ROHS certificate?
It ensures the quality of electronic products.
Using lead-free solder and components reduces the risk of workers that work in
the electronic industry. It also reduces the damage to the environment and
people and decreases the defects of the products and increases the efficiency
of the product. In addition to this, It also increases the reputation and value
of the organization and also ensures product safety which is good for the
consumer. By using the ROHS Certification, the reliability of consumption of
the product gets increased and the recycling process is also promoted and
enhanced due to which the wastage of the energy and the other resources gets
decreased.
Why should
one organization should compliance with ROHS?
The restricted materials are seriously hazardous
for nature and are dangerous in the exposure of the occupational environment
and in the recycling process.
How the
products are tested for ROHS compliance?
There are various ROHS analyzers which are also
known as XRF metal analyzers or X-ray fluorescence that are used to verify the
restricted metals.
Which
companies would get affected by the ROHS directive?
The companies that are selling the electric and electronic
product in the EU countries which do not ROHS Certified and are banned
according to the ROHS directive would get affected and the particular companies
would not be allowed to sell, resell or distribute any of the product in the EU
countries.
There are also other types of ROHS Certifications
such as
- ROHS-2
- ROHS-3
- ROHS-4
- ROHS-5
- ROHS-6
which differs from each
other on the basis of the rules and restrictions.
Conclusion:-
The ROHS certification is one of the best
certifications which should be followed by organizations all over the world to
decrease the use of hazardous materials and also to decrease pollution. The
Indian organization should also apply for ISO Certification in India which is a
well-known certification that increases the popularity as well as the
productivity of the organization. The increasing pollution should be decreased
by following good practices and certifications that guides organizations in a
better way.
