ITC services regarding ROHS 3

Since July 22, 2019 „RoHS 3“ (2015/863/EC) updated of so called “RoHS 2” directive (No. 2011/65/EC) will come in force, laying down extended requirements on electric and electronic devices.

Except for heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr VI+) and polybrominated flame retardants (PBBs and PDEs) four phthalic acid esters (phthalates) were newly added:
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, Butyl benzyl phthalate, Di butyl phthalate a Di iso butyl phthalate in the amount, not exceeded 0,1 w/w % in mass of homogenous material.
Problematic can be thus PVC softened material, like cable insulations then paintings, glues and softened plastics.

Laboratories of ITC are ready to determine all these substances. Years of experiences with such a type of analysis gives you quality assurance regarding analysis results. For request, please, contact:

Ing. David Grebeníček dgrebenicek@itczlin.cz
Ing. Iveta Řezníčková ireznickova@itczlin.cz

Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry

Testing » Accredited Testing Laboratory No. 1004

The Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry is a workplace of Accredited Testing Laboratory No. 1004, which specializes in chemical and material analyses, testing of hygienic properties of products, testing of emission behaviour of materials, measurement of optical properties, etc. In addition to the accreditation itself, an important technical competence of the Laboratory is its authorisation by the Ministry of Health for examining health safety of products in contact with foodstuffs and meals.
