In the current global market, the safety of products and the protection of the environment are more paramount than ever. Obtaining RoHS certificate is not merely a matter of compliance; it is also an issue of credibility, sustainability, and market access, especially for electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers, importers, and distributors in the UAE.
The
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive is a restriction, passed in the European Union, which limits the use of certain hazardous materials usually contained in electrical and electronic devices. Such substances are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr 6 +), and flame retardants, such as PBB and PBDE. The RoHS compliance makes sure that such hazardous components are either removed or reduced to specified levels in the items found in the regulated markets.
Considering that the rules governing international trade are changing, nations such as the UAE have since changed to embracing international safety and environmental standards. RoHS compliance has taken an important turn in companies interested in exporting or even selling products locally, e.g, in the consumer electronics, home appliances, telecommunication, automotive, and medical products industries.

In the UAE, Qdot International provides your business with tailor-made RoHS certification services, capable of delivering complete compliance within the shortest time possible. We facilitate the certification project with a team consisting of regulatory consultants and technical specialists to assist in each and every step. In the first phase, we start by conducting an exhaustive audit of materials to determine the compliance of your product with the RoHS requirements.

We will do this by:
Categorization and evaluation of materials and sub-components
Pre-arranged coordination of RoHS screening with accredited laboratories

In the interest of our immense knowledge of worldwide instructions as well as the internal standards of the UAE, Qdot can guarantee that your documentation and product labeling satisfy all the required standards.
2. Market Access and Regulatory Compliance:
RoHS certification does not serve only as a tick-the-box activity, but as a strategic tool of market access. Your products that are not sufficiently documented as compliant with RoHS will be rejected by the leading markets and even taken off the shelves because they are non-compliant. The compliance with RoHS is a core requirement of electronic and electrical products regardless of whether they will be sold within the European Union, the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC), or all other regions.
The advantage of doing work with Qdot is that you would have a reliable consultant who would make sure that the lifecycle of your products, right through to market entry, is compliant with the requirements of the environment. Not only are our RoHS services able to ensure that your company evades the regulatory fines, but they also have the benefit of improving the image of your brand as a sustainable and responsible manufacturer.
