The use of electronic devices increased in the early 2000s. Together with this, there was a hike in the use of toxic substances like lead, mercury, and other dangerous chemicals. These materials were initially acclaimed as having technical merits such as increasing brightness or conductivity, but were later discovered to be incredibly harmful to the human body and the environment.
Eventually, lung cancer and asbestosis were devastating illnesses caused by exposure to such materials. The European Union came up with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive in February 2003 to resolve this problem. EU member states had until 1 July 2007 to implement it in the restriction of the use of certain dangerous materials in electrical and electronic devices. The aim was not complicated in any way: create less pollution, safeguard human health, and make the electronics industry more responsible and healthier.
RoHS is the abbreviation that means Restriction of Hazardous Substances or Directive 2002/95/EC. It restricts the application of some dangerous substances in electricity and electronic products. RoHS operates alongside the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) rules and regulations all in the effort to regulate e-waste and save the environment.
The rising demand for electronic products in India has led to an increase in production in higher quantities each year. The fast rate of technological advancements is also promoting a trend of consumers throwing away electronic devices at a very fast rate, which contributes to the waste. In response to this, the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the Government of India formulated RoHS guidelines in the larger group of the Electronic Waste Management Rules.
In case you produce or import electronics in India, you might have to comply with RoHS or WEEE, depending on the size of your company as well as the nature of the products that you deal with.
The process begins with a complete evaluation of company records. Bills, product details, material declarations, assembly drawings, and test reports are checked carefully. A compliance file is then prepared for the certification process.
Samples undergo testing to check whether the levels of restricted substances fall below the limits set by RoHS. This is done using XRF analysis or laboratory testing methods.
After testing, auditors visit the manufacturing site to verify that the entire process complies with RoHS standards. This includes quality control checks and examination of how restricted substances are managed. Some auditors also conduct yearly follow-ups to confirm continued compliance.
After the audit and testing are done successfully, the company is issued a RoHS Certificate, the certificate is also called a Certificate of Conformity or Declaration of Conformity.
Approximately 2 weeks
The RoHS certificate is valid for five years. Re-certification can be required when significant product design or material changes take place.
