We ensure our cable products meet RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU) and the latest RoHS 3 amendments. Our compliance is built on a verifiable system:
Supplier Vetting: We source raw materials (insulation, jacketing, fillers) only from suppliers who provide full material declarations and RoHS compliance statements.
Production Segregation: Our manufacturing processes are designed to prevent cross-contamination with non-compliant substances.
Batch Verification: We conduct regular testing through accredited third-party laboratories and maintain comprehensive RoHS Certificates of Compliance (CoC) and test reports for our cable families.
Stocking and promoting our RoHS-compliant cables provides you with a clear competitive advantage:
Unrestricted Market Access: Confidently ship to the EU, and meet similar requirements in North America (e.g., California Proposition 65) and Asia.
Simplified Due Diligence: Our readily available documentation simplifies your own compliance checks and responses to customer or tender requests.
Enhanced Brand Value: Align your business with sustainability goals, appealing to a new generation of eco-aware specifiers and clients.
Risk Mitigation: Avoid the legal, financial, and reputational risks associated with non-compliant products being seized at borders or rejected on-site.
What substances does RoHS restrict in cables?
The directive limits the use of ten substances, including Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent Chromium (CrVI), and specific flame retardants (PBB, PBDE). Our cables are manufactured to keep these substances below the maximum concentration values (typically 0.1% or 0.01% for Cadmium).
Do you provide a RoHS certificate for every cable shipment?
Yes. We provide a formal RoHS Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for our compliant product ranges. For specific batches, we can also supply supporting test reports from accredited labs upon request, which is often required for high-value projects or stringent import checks.
Are all your cables RoHS compliant?
The vast majority of our standard product lines are RoHS compliant, and this is clearly stated in our specifications. For any legacy or highly specialized product that may not be, we provide full transparency upfront. Our default and recommended offerings are all compliant.
How does RoHS compliance relate to REACH?
RoHS and REACH are both EU regulations but have different scopes. RoHS is product-specific and restricts listed substances. REACH is broader, addressing the registration and authorization of chemicals. We monitor both frameworks, and our material management system is designed to address the requirements of each. Cables compliant with RoHS often satisfy key REACH obligations as well.
Is RoHS compliance only important for the European market?
While it originated in the EU, the influence of RoHS is global. Many countries, including those in Asia and the Middle East, have adopted similar regulations or use RoHS as a procurement standard for government and large-scale projects. Specifying RoHS-compliant cables maximizes your product's marketability worldwide.
