With increasing complexity in product design and global supply chains, identifying and managing hazardous materials has become a critical regulatory concern.
Non-compliant products can lead to environmental damage and undermine public trust in regulatory enforcement.
The UK government’s Department for Business and Trade faces the ongoing challenge of ensuring that electrical and electronic products placed on the market do not pose environmental hazards.
For over five years, RINA has supported the UK Governments RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) enforcement, by undertaking testing of electrical and electronic equipment. A critical role that’s helped ensure compliance and safety across the industry.
Through our specialized laboratories and compliance protocols, we have delivered high-impact reports that evaluated product conformity and compliance with environmental safety standards related to RoHS. These reports are strategic tools for UK government agencies to guide enforcement actions, including market surveillance and regulatory interventions. Our work is helping to shape a safer, more sustainable marketplace.
Thanks to our testing and reporting capabilities:
- The UK government can confidently identify and act upon non-compliant products.
- Products that fail to meet environmental standards have appropriate follow-on actions undertaken.
- Enforcement actions against companies are supported by science-driven evidence.
This collaboration strengthens the UK’s environmental protection framework and ensures that only safe, compliant products reach consumers.
