TÜV Rheinland (India) – Material Testing Services and Overview
1. RoHS testing
The RoHS Directive, which came into effect in July 2006, is designed to limit six dangerous
chemicals. We provide Restriction of Hazardous substances (RoHS) testing service at our NABL
accredited lab. As per RoHS, we test your components for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd),
Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Hex-Cr), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and Polybrominated
diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
2. RoHS training
We offer in-house RoHS training and consultancy to provide an insight on the Know-how’s of RoHS.
Our trainers are well equipped to train and educate on RoHS directive.
3. ELV testing
The Europe Union's End-of-Life Vehicle Directive (Directive 2000/53/EC - the “ELV” Directive) sets
recovery targets for recycling of vehicles and components, encourages manufacturers to design their
vehicles with part reuse and recycling in mind, and restricts the use of certain heavy metals in new
vehicle manufacturing processes. TUV Rheinland India supports you with testing and certification for
ELV directive.
4. Packaging Directive
This Directive covers all packaging placed on the European market and all packaging waste, whether
it is used or released at industrial, commercial, office, shop, service, household or any other level,
regardless of the material used.
The EU Packaging and Packaging waste Directive (94/62//EC) restricts the sum of maximum
allowable levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), to 0.01% or
100 ppm by weight of homogeneous material In order to manufacture these products within or import
into the European Union, manufacturers are responsible for providing due diligence documentation.
TUV Rheinland India supports you to comply with the packaging material directive
5. Chemical composition analysis
TUV Rheinland’s Chemical Laboratories’ test materials and products for chemical composition
and impurity checks. The Laboratory provides expertise in chemical characterization and trace
analysis. Chemical composition analysis is available for entire range of metallic materials
6. ICP analysis
TUV Rheinland laboratories have latest ICP machines which can perform analysis of around 72
elements in the periodic table. The instrument can perform analysis in the range parts per billion
to percentage levels in the materials
7. Heavy metal analysis
TUV Rheinland laboratories can analyze heavy metals as per any of the European regulation or
client specific residual substance list using various national / international traceable standards

Rapid, precise and energy-saving temperature changes with humidity unit a perfect duo for
controlled material testing, function tests, ageing tests or climate tests on composites, concrete,
plastics or electronic components in material technology, the automotive and aerospace
industries, and electronics. Our laboratory can support various climatic testing with our best in
class environmental chambers.
18. SEM –EDX(Scanning electron microscope)
A pioneer in the testing world, SEM-EDX provides an elemental analysis of solid samples,
impurities, and the identification of physical and chemical defects. Our laboratories provide
analytical surface science expertise to support research, failure analysis, troubleshooting, quality
control and other requirements.
19. Tin whisker studies
Metal whiskering or tin whiskers is a phenomenon or fault which occurs in electrical devices. Tin
whiskers were noticed and documented in the valve (tube) era of electronics early in the 20th
century, in equipment which used pure or almost pure tin solder in their production. It was noticed
that small metal hair grew between metal solder pads causing short circuits. The problem was
solved with the addition of lead which prevents the growth of the hairs. The European Union
banned the use of lead in most consumer products in the early 21st century due to health
problems associated with lead, leading to a re-emergence of the problem. New laws exclude
some medical and military equipment and space flight hardware, which can still use solders which
contain lead.
Our laboratory has the facility to test as per JEDEC standard JESD201, "Environmental
Acceptance Requirements for Tin Whisker Susceptibility of Tin and Tin Alloy Surface Finishes,"
