What are the Benefits of RoHS Testing?
RoHS is a European Union regulation and directive which is an abbreviation of Restriction of Hazardous Substances. It is a regulation that is mainly concerned with the production and manufacture of electronic equipment and parts. These regulations cover any electronic item ranging from household appliances, electronic tools, lighting equipment, control tools, or even IT and telecommunication equipment. The RoHS regulations bar the usage of elements like:
- Lead
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Hexavalent Chromium
- PBB
- PBDE
Though the restrictions are a bit too much, once you pass the guidelines, you enjoy seamless benefits. Many of such benefits are listed below:
- RoHS regulations reduce the heavy risk of instant heavy metal poisoning. Most e-Wastes are transported to waste yards in third-world countries majorly. The workers in these dump yards face a lot of chronic diseases and issues when they are exposed to this waste over a long period. They majorly suffer from mercury and lead poisoning. RoHS restricts and controls the use of this lead and mercury and instructs the supervising bodies to dump solders and components that are free from these chemicals. These regulations when are perfectly abided by reduces the risk of mercury and lead poisoning in these particular areas. With the RoHS overseeing these matters, the working and health conditions of these workers have improved miraculously.
- Passing the RoHS testing increases the users’ reliability on the products manufactured. Most of the electronic manufacturers and mostly every well-known of them have adopted these testing methods in the current manufacturing scenario. Once adopting these, the customers are assured that the products they are buying are completely safe and will not pose any threat to their health. As a result of this, brand reliability has increased a lot and the manufacturers can comfortably produce their goods under compliance.
- The tightest RoHS regulations have led to an increase in the production efficiency that was much less 10 years ago. This efficiency has also led to the rise of minimum defects in production.
- These regulations also demand more communication among the supply chain and the appointment of a more skilled workforce. These ensure the distribution efficiency.
- This regulation provides a huge competitive advantage to the new players in the market providing them with similar ground rules to operate.
