The Introduction of ROHS & Reach
Some times ago we mentioned IVY products are comply with RoHS and REACH, many friends said that they are not very familiar with the two certifications, so today we will teach you the knowledge of the two certifications.
RoHS is a compulsory standards set by the eu legislation, it is the full name of the restrictions on the use of certain harmful ingredients in the instructions to electrical and electronic equipment (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), the standard has been started on July 1, 2006 formally implemented, it is mainly used for electrical product specification material and craft standard, make it more conducive to human health and environmental protection.The standard aims to eliminate 6 substances including lead, mercury, cadmium (PBDE) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic products, and specifically stipulates that the content of cadmium should not exceed 0.01%.
After understanding the RoHS certification, let's take a look at the REACH certification. In fact, the two certifications are about the certification that the environment does not contain harmful substances.Reach means “Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals”, Registration, Evaluation, Licensing and Restriction of Chemicals". This is the European Union's precautionary regulation of all chemicals entering its market, which came into force on 1 June 2007.
REACH directive requires whoever imports and produce within the territory of the European chemicals must assess through registration authority and a set of integrated programs and so on limit, in order to better and more easily identify the chemical composition to achieve the purpose of ensuring the security of the environment and the human body Assessment of the directive are registered authorized limits such as a few sports content All goods must have a list of the chemical composition of the registration files, indicating the manufacturer on how to use the chemical composition and toxicity assessment report.
In contrast to the RoHS directive,REACH is much broader in scope, affecting products and manufacturing processes in virtually every industry, from mining to textiles, clothing, light industries and electromechanics. REACH requires manufacturers to register every single chemical ingredient in their products, there are about 30,000 of them, and it has established the idea that society should not introduce new materials, products or technologies, if their potential harm is not known. From the perspective of scientific and technological progress, although this concept is not particularly good, for mechanical and electrical enterprises trading with Europe, no enterprise can be exempt from the restrictions of REACH system.
IVY embarks from the human health and environmental protection,Almost all products are in compliance with ROHS and Reach certification,especially IVY switching series, CT, all kinds of module and LCD. In addition, There are also certification requirements for some products of the following industries in the world. Such as: IT and telecommunications equipment and consumer goods such as radios, televisions, cameras and sound systems and so on.
