Intertek provides global RoHS compliance solutions for manufacturers selling into the European Union (EU), United Arab Emirates (UAE), China, Taiwan, and India.
There are a number of global Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements (better known as RoHS) in place, or going through their appropriate government process. They typically resemble the EU RoHS Directive (particularly the restricted substances and threshold), however, how manufacturers and importers comply is slightly different in each jurisdiction. For example, some jurisdictions are looking for a technical file (EU RoHS) that contains compliance documentation, other regions are looking for product marking and documentation (China RoHS) and others require certification through a notified Body (UAE & China RoHS).
Companies continue to struggle to completely understand the global landscape of restricted substance compliance. Due to this, Intertek has created end-to-end solutions to assist companies and streamline the compliance process. Intertek’s services allow for complete turn-key solutions and enable customers to select how Intertek can support individual processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
RoHS compliance refers to meeting hazardous substance restrictions in countries and regions that have adopted RoHS requirements, including the European Union (EU), United Arab Emirates (UAE), China, Japan, South Korea, Türkiye, Brazil, and others. These regulations restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products and are often required for market access. Failure to comply can result in shipment delays, product recalls, fines, or restrictions on sales.
Not necessarily. While many RoHS regulations are modeled after the EU RoHS Directive and often use similar restricted substances and thresholds, compliance requirements differ by jurisdiction. Some regions require technical documentation, others require product labeling, registration, certification, or specific conformity assessment procedures. Companies selling globally must evaluate the requirements of each target market.
Intertek provides end-to-end RoHS compliance solutions, helping companies understand applicable regulations, assess product requirements, develop compliance documentation, support testing programs, manage certifications, and navigate country-specific requirements. This helps reduce compliance risk and expedite market entry across multiple jurisdictions.
