Screening Method Proposed by Shimadzu for Revised RoHS Directive

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