To assist manufacturers, suppliers and recyclers, who must screen or verification test materials and components to ensure product compliance with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (EU Directive RoHS 2002/95/EC), Oxford Instruments has developed an on-line RoHS by XRF online information resource at www.rohsbyxrf.com.
This simple to understand Web site provides guidance through the potential RoHS minefield, with sections devoted to all of the key issues, such as understanding the new legislation, the recycling implications and how to ensure compliance.
Under RoHS, Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr 6+, PBB & PBDEs (Br) in all electrotechnical products will be restricted. In the electronics industry this is the driving force behind lead-free (Pb-free) manufacturing. All companies doing business in the EU must comply or face penalties and import restrictions.
