Programme assists RoHS compliance

Testing programme certifies RoHS compliance
Hong Kong-based cable and wire producer LTK Industries has employed Underwriters Laboratories to establish its compliance with the European Union RoHS Directive.
The offer is a single package comprising these four important certification processes, addressed specifically to the information technology equipment industry.
The global roll-out of the campaign for Asia and USA will take place in the following months.
With this campaign UL aims to support the global market access of manufacturers of Information Technology Equipment.
UL will therefore give manufacturers a chance to enter additional European markets with their products having these additional safety certifications, allowing them to gain competitive advantage in local as well as foreign markets.
For each new UL Mark the manufacturer requests, UL will issue free of charge the CB for international access, the UL-GS mark, which is very well accepted in the German market and the D-Mark, the key to simplify access to Nordic markets.
Although the regulations require only the CE marking for the European market, products bearing these voluntary and very prestigious marks are guaranteed to be of greater reliability and safety, received especially well in the markets where these factors are highly valued.
Many manufacturers who want to enter one or more international markets are often unaware of the advantages the CB provides.
Thanks to this scheme, they can obtain considerable savings in terms of time and export costs, thus making access to the global markets remarkably easier, and giving products a guarantee of greater safety.
With its experience and technical expertise having been refined during its history of more than 100 years, UL today is the only certification body able to offer this opportunity, positioning itself as the one stop shop partner on matter of global safety.
