Adhesive is a substance that can connect two or more materials tightly together through chemical reactions or physical interactions. There are various types of adhesives with wide applications, such as in fields such as architecture, automobiles, electronics, aerospace, etc. What are the ROHS testing items for adhesives in the EU?

Adhesive EU ROHS testing project

The EU ROHS testing projects for adhesives mainly include the testing of six substances, including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). These substances may have negative impacts on human health and the environment, so the EU has strict restrictions on the content of these substances in adhesives. The specific detection methods and limit standards can refer to the relevant provisions of the EU ROHS Directive.


The RoHS certification process for adhesives is as follows:

1. The applicant fills out the application form and provides a list of product components.

2. After submitting the application, the certification body divides the product based on the provided material list, and then conducts harmful substance testing on each component.

3. If there are non conformities during the initial testing, the applicant needs to make corresponding corrections to the product and then submit a re inspection application.

4. After the product passes the testing, the certification agency will issue a RoHS certification certificate.
