ROHS CONFORM MANUFACTURING

As technology and knowledge have increased over the years, so have the standards and regulations that rule our everyday working lives. Health and safety has become a bigger factor in the workplace than ever before and industry standards have clamped down on many areas in business, leading to stricter and tougher regulations. This is especially true in the area of manufacturing, where automated machinery and quality of components are all subject to strict RoHS conformance testing as defined by the European Union. RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances and is also known as directive 2002/95/EC. This particular ruling cuts down the usage of certain hazardous materials that are found in electrical products and is therefore a major consideration when purchasing certain goods.

FLUX AND SOLDER

One of the most popular and often used products in this area are flux and solder products. These are used on electrical printed circuit boards amongst other things and since 2006 have been subject to the RoHS conform ruling. Any company supplying these goods should by law adhere to this but it is always important to check that these necessary safety measures apply to the components you are buying. There are a number of substances banned under RoHS conformance legislation including lead, mercury, cadmium and polybrominated diphenyl ethers amongst other things. These materials have been tested and found to be a hazard not only in the workplace but also in the environment. It also causes serious issues during manufacturing so it is vital these are not used.
