The key principles of quality assurance are “fit for purpose” (the product should be suited for the intended purpose) and “right first time” (mistakes should be eliminated). OKSA understands the vital importance of reliability and repeatability in projects, which is why we ensure that our engineers and compliance team are certified and fully trained to provide the best solution for industrial applications.
OKSA Automation Limited offers only CE-approved products to our customers. Our compliance and engineering team ensures our full compliance with the WEEE and RoHS legislation.
RoHS Compliance
The RoHS Directive will ban placement into the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than designated maximum allowable levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants, effective July 1, 2006.
RoHS works in conjunction with the EU WEEE Directive. RoHS supports WEEE by reducing the amount of hazardous chemicals used in production. In turn, it reduces the risk of exposure to recycling staff as well as reduces recycling costs. Manufacturers will need to ensure that their products, parts, and components comply with RoHS in order to be distributed and sold in the EU. Reference RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
Substances Restricted by RoHS
From 1st July 2006, new electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market in the European Union shall not contain substances known to be harmful to humans and animal life:
RoHS specifies maximum levels for the following six restricted materials:
Lead (Pb): < 1000 ppm. Lead is commonly used in the electrical and electronics industry in solder, lead-acid batteries, electronic components, cable sheathing, and in the glass of cathode-ray tubes.
Mercury (Hg): < 100 ppm. Mercury is a widely used metal in the production of electrical and electronic appliances and is concentrated in batteries, switches, thermostats, and fluorescent lamps.
Cadmium (Cd): < 100 ppm. Cadmium is used in electronic equipment, car batteries, and pigments.
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr VI): < 1000 ppm. While some forms of chromium are non-toxic, Chromium VI can produce toxic effects.
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB): 1000 ppm. These are flame retardants found in electronic and electrical appliances. They have been found in indoor dust and air through evaporation from plastics.
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE): < 1000 ppm. These are also flame retardants found in electronic and electrical appliances. Combustion of printed wiring boards releases toxic emissions
WEEE Compliance
The European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) applies to a wide range of electronic and electrical products. WEEE encourages the collection, treatment, recycling, and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. WEEE makes producers and importers responsible for financing the collection, treatment, and recovery of WEEE. Reference: The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC, as amended by 2003/108/EC.
WEEE Product Scope
- The following product categories are affected by WEEE:
- Large Household Appliances
- Small Household Appliances
- IT and Telecommunications Equipment
- Consumer Equipment
- Lighting Equipment
- Electronic and Electrical tools
- Toys, Leisure, and Sport Equipment
- Medical Devices
- Monitoring and Control Instruments
- Automatic Dispensers
The national governments are in the pursuit of clarifying the breadth of these categories. Further updates will be published as they are received.
The following products are either not included, exempt, or out of scope of WEEE:
- Implanted and Infected Products
- Large-Scale Stationary Industrial Tools
- Military Products
- Automotive Products
- Aerospace/Aircraft Products
- Surface Transportation Products
REACH Compliance
REACH is the regulation on the registration, evaluation, authorisation, and restriction of chemicals. It entered into force in the European Union (EU) on June 1st, 2007. The main aims of REACH are to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, the promotion of alternative test methods, the free circulation of substances on the internal market, and enhancing competitiveness and innovation.
All manufacturers and importers of chemicals must identify and manage risks linked to the substances they manufacture and market. For substances manufactured or imported in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year per company, manufacturers and importers need to demonstrate that they have appropriately done so by means of a registration dossier, which must be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
The agency checks that the registration dossier complies with the regulation.
Authorities may also select substances for a broader substance evaluation to further investigate substances of concern.
REACH also foresees an authorisation system aiming to ensure that substances of very high concern are properly controlled and progressively replaced by suitable alternative substances or technologies where these are economically and technically viable.
EU authorities may impose restrictions on the manufacture, use, or placing on the market of substances causing an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.
