Proposed Screening Method for RoHS Directive

Shimadzu offers customers comprehensive assistance in complying with RoHS/ELV requirements. In addition to developing and Subject to Revised RoHS Directive
manufacturing energy-dispersive X-ray uorescence spectrometers (EDXRF), which account for a large portion of the testing Lead (Pb)
equipment used for RoHS/ELV directive compliance, Shimadzu also develops and manufactures ICP atomic emission Mercury (Hg) Py-GC/MS
™
spectrometers (ICP-AES), ICP mass spectrometers (ICP-MS), atomic absorption spectrophotometers (AA), ultraviolet-visible EDX-7000/8000/8100 EDX-LE Plus Cadmium (Cd) (Py-Screener )
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
spectrophotometers (UV-VIS), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers (FT-IR), gas chromatograph mass spectrometers PBBs
(GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatographs (HPLC), and ion chromatographs (IC). Shimadzu develops applications for this PBDEs
equipment and even offers guidance for testing methods. Phthalate esters
