Analyzers for hazardous substances

RoHS screening simplified

Helping you stay compliant today – and tomorrow

Our range of analyzers for hazardous substance detection are designed to meet current directives such as RoHS, WEEE, ELV, EN71 and halogen-free, and have the flexibility to adapt to new directives as legislation evolves. Reliable screening results, coupled with ease of use and durability, ensure that these analyzers integrate easily into your busy production environment. When you need to comply with stringent health and safety guidelines and meet your delivery deadlines, a Hitachi analyzer lets you get your testing done fast and with confidence.

Typical applications for hazardous substance analysis

Our analyzers can be integrated in a testing program for regulatory compliance, and support a wide range of hazardous substance analysis to keep up with safety and environmental legislation, including, but not limited to:

RoHS regulations: restrict the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).
WEEE directive: promotes the collection and recycling of electrical equipment.

ELV directive: aims to reduce the environmental impact of automotive scrap.
EN71-3: specifies safety requirements for toys.
Halogen-free legislation: prohibits the use of halogenated flame retardants.
CPSIA: defines children’s products safety rules
