What is RoHS?
(RoHS: Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances)
In accordance with the EU (European Union) directives on Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), from July of 2006, electrical products exported to Europe must not contain any of the specified hazardous metals, namely, cadmium, lead, mercury, and hexavalent chromium, or the specified hazardous substances, namely, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). The use of parts and materials free of hazardous substances, as exemplified by green procurement, has become an important issue in commercial transactions. There are corporations that have established their own criteria and demand analysis reports from suppliers of materials such as plastic and resin parts used in electrical and electronic equipment.

Brominated Flame Retardants analysis by Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010 Plus
The constituents of brominated flame retardants are separated with a gas chromatograph and detected with a mass spectrometer. This makes it possible to analyze brominated flame retardants with a high degree of precision. In order to ensure high accuracy, samples must be treated beforehand to remove resins or other substances that may obstruct analysis.
