RoHS stands for restriction of hazardous substances. It restricts the use of some hazardous material found in electrical and electronic products.

Certification Process

In the first step, business involved in selling applicable electronic products, sub-assemblies or components fill the application form online to apply for RoHS certification.
In the second step, RoHS which is an ISO certified body receive the application online and reviews the same to certify the business applicant with RoHS.
In the third step, a team of auditors from RoHS proceed with the audit procedure by going on to the business location. Auditors check the documents as well as the elements used in making the product. In case hazardous elements are used, their limits are checked by the auditors (If above the prescribed limit, it can be harmful). Portable RoHS analyzers or XRF metal analyzers are used for screening and verifying that the product is RoHS compliant.
Audit team properly check the elements used in the electrical and electronic products and their maximum levels too. RoHS certification is given only to those businesses which don’t use hazardous materials and if used, it should be below the maximum limits prescribed by ROHC.
After the audit completion, if found that all the documents of the business applicant is correct and the elements used by them are under the RoHS prescribed limit, RoHS certificate is issued to that business after getting the approval from the auditors as well as ROS authority within a tenure of 10-15 days.
