The RoHS directive aimed at producing healthy products only for a healthy life. However, in practice, RoHS criterias have affected the living standards in the countries producing these products while increasing consumption and improving the quality of life in the countries where these products are consumed. Because the awareness of the people and in simple terms, not wanting to be poisoned while using electrical and electronic products increased the demand in this direction.

The RoHS system contains elements such as lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium and similar elements that threaten human health, electrical and electronic It is a system that allows these elements to be used only in the production of vehicles provided that they remain below the allowed values. When producing electrical and electronic devices, chemicals such as polybromide biphenyl (PBB) and polybromide biphenyl ether (PBDE), which are used to prevent rapid ignition of these vehicles, are also considered within this scope.

Producing companies that use these elements and chemicals in their enterprises and try to stay below the maximum values ​​requested, have their products analyzed by accredited laboratories. RoHS Certificate use them to In these laboratories, it is examined that the substances used on electrical and electronic devices are below the maximum values. The elements are sought on the product and approval is given if the quantity used falls within the specified values. The manufacturer then requests a RoHS Certificate from a certification body, preparing a technical dossier including the laboratory results.

Certification bodies also conduct the necessary examinations on the technical file and issue a RoHS Certificate if they are convinced that the company deserves to receive the certificate. Who can get the RoHS Certificate?

First, let's see where these elements are used. This is because all enterprises that use these elements during production can theoretically obtain a RoHS Certificate:

  • Lead (Pb), solder, active and passive electronic materials, termination terminals, printed circuit board coatings, glass, battery and battery used in the construction.
  • Mercury (Hg) is used in the manufacture of batteries, switches, sensors, relays and fluorescent lamps.
  • Cadmium (Cd), electrolysis coating, plastic material, sensor, NiCd battery, sparking contact is used in the construction.
  • Plus 6 valued Chromium (Cr6 +) is used for chrome plating.
  • Polybromide biphenyl (PBB) and polybromide biphenyl ether (PBDE) are flame retardant materials and are used in the production of many electrical and electronic devices.

The above materials are given as examples. In fact, these elements have a wide range of uses. All manufacturing companies using these elements can first receive reports from a laboratory and then request a RoHS certificate from a certification body.
