Exporting Products to the EU? Import the PANalytical X-Ray Advantage First!
Nov 13 2008
for the screening of toxic heavy metals regulated by the EU Directives RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment). To help customers who export goods to the EU
meet increasingly complex environmental regulations, PANalytical (The
Netherlands) delivers the advantage of 60 years experience in X-ray analysis and implementation, as well as dedicated instrumentation and calibration sets.
Now, the introduction of a new international standard (ASTM International standard F2617-08, announced 26 September 2008), uses XRF analysis for routine testing of toxic heavy metals in homogeneous polymers. The implementation of a RoHS/WEEE energy dispersive X-ray
fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer, such as PANalytical`s dedicated MiniPal 4 RoHS WEEE, provides a straightforward, robust method for the analysis of RoHS elements.
All products destined for the EU must comply with RoHS/WEEE directives and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances) regulations. While the responsibility of ensuring product and component compliance lies with producers and distributors, help is at hand. PANalytical`s global team of representatives can provide local advice on elemental analysis solutions and the management of quality control costs.
