The RoHS 2.0 Directive not only expands the scope of regulated products, but also implements an eight-year transition period. During the transition period, new products included in the scope of regulated electrical and electronic equipment could still enter the EU market without complying with the RoHS 2.0 Directive. However, the European Commission recently found that after the eight-year transition period, i.e., after July 22, 2019, there will be some "confusion" about the current regulatory scope of the RoHS 2.0 Directive, and that legislative intervention will be necessary. The EC proposed on January 26, 2017 to amend the text of the RoHS 2.0 Directive to avoid these problems. This is the background to RoHS 3.0. ROHS tester is a testing instrument for EU ROHS testing standards. Simply put, it is an instrument for testing six hazardous substances: lead Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury Hg, hexavalent chromium Cr6+, polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE, and polybrominated biphenyl PBB. Currently on the market is a common type of X-ray fluorescence analyzer, which is divided into energy dispersive and wavelength dispersive type, the principle of its analysis and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer analysis principle is exactly the same. ROHS2.0 how to test? 1, GB/T26125-2011 "Electrical and electronic products six restricted substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers) Determination of the following test methods: X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) rapid screening of lead, mercury, cadmium, total chromium, total bromine application of the method of Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) determination of polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in polymers Determination of hexavalent chromium in colorless and colored anticorrosive coatings on metal samples; colorimetric determination of hexavalent chromium in polymers and electronic parts Applied Methods for the Determination of Mercury in Polymers, Metals, and Electronic Parts by CV-AAS, CV-AFS, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS Applied Methods for the Determination of Lead and Cadmium in Polymers by ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AAS Applied Methods for the Determination of Lead and Cadmium in Polymers by ICP-OES, Determination of lead and cadmium in metals and electronic parts by ICP-OES, ICP-MS and AAS In practical application, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) is adopted by most enterprises because of its simple operation, fast testing speed and high degree of accuracy. 2, about ROHS2.0 in the four o-benzene substances in the detection standard is still in the process of compilation and review, the current reference method is mainly SN/T 2249-2009 "plastics and their products in the determination of phthalate plasticizers" gas chromatography - mass spectrometry, the use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS instrument.
However, our company found that the GC-MS instrument is not suitable for the survival of most of the small and medium-sized enterprises due to the expensive price, high maintenance cost and high professional requirements of the operators.
In response to the above problems, Tricore Instruments has developed a GC-MS comparable to GC-MS, the Thermal Cracking Gas Chromatograph TP100PLUS-GC, which is not only easy to operate with one-button automatic operation, but also 70% cheaper than GC-MS.
