UK-based lab tests for RoHS compliance
New ISO17025 accredited laboratory offers a full range of analytical testing services covering all the RoHS restricted elements.
These expanded services build on the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Video Telephony (VT) services, already popular at SGS Wireless.
"SGS Wireless is the only European facility to offer all these testing services under one roof", says John Midwood, Engineering Manager of SGS Wireless Europe.
