CALCE and RWTT (RoHS and WEEE Test Technology) have now formed an agreement to provide extensive RoHS compliance testing for companies wishing to assess the RoHS compliance of their supplier's materials, parts and sub-assemblies, as well as their own products. This capability was developed as a result of concerns that suppliers may not fully understand the legislation requirements and testing obligations. In fact, we have already tested products with RoHS compliance labels which have NOT been RoHS compliant. We have also seen poor RoHS analysis conducted by companies who did not understand the RoHS requirements. CALCE realizes that the costs to a company can be significant if there is mis-labeling.
