RoHS Certification.
An official RoHS certification serves as evidence that a product adheres to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — ensuring safety and minimal environmental impact for electronic products sold in the EU.
What is RoHS
Certification?
The RoHS directive prohibits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment — ensuring their safety and minimal environmental impact.
Manufacturers and distributors aiming to market their goods in the European Union or other regions with similar regulations must obtain RoHS certification. With numerous nations adopting similar laws globally, RoHS compliance has become essential for businesses operating worldwide.
ICB UK provides RoHS certification services to help manufacturers ensure their products meet strict hazardous substance restrictions. Our certification is accredited and internationally recognised, building trust with customers and regulators alike.
