What is RoHS Certification?
RoHS Certification (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a globally recognized directive that restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products.
The RoHS standard ensures that products are environmentally safe and free from harmful substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and other toxic chemicals.
In India, RoHS compliance is mandatory for manufacturers, importers, and exporters of electronic and electrical equipment to ensure environmental protection and consumer safety. At xLegal, we help businesses achieve RoHS Certification in India with comprehensive documentation, testing, and approval support, ensuring your products are globally compliant.
Purpose of RoHS Certification
The main objective of RoHS certification is to reduce environmental pollution and protect human health by limiting hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. It ensures that your business follows sustainable manufacturing practices and meets both Indian and international market standards.
Hazardous Substances Restricted under RoHS
RoHS limits or bans the use of the following substances:
1. Lead (Pb)
2. Mercury (Hg)
3. Cadmium (Cd)
4. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺)
5. Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
6. Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
7. Four additional substances (phthalates) under RoHS 3: DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP
All RoHS-compliant products must have these substances within the permitted concentration levels to be considered safe for sale and export.
