There is a tremendous amount of information available for reading regarding RoHS and all of it's standards and requirements. In fact, there's probably too much, thus creating uncertainties with implementation and exemptions. We've collected various links and documents to help provide businesses direction towards compliancy.

Testing:

Premier Electronics offers and supports in-house functional testing requirements.

Functional testing
Functional testing serves to emulate the actual operation of the product to be tested. Functional tests are usually conducted using a custom designed test fixture. A test fixture and test procedure are generally provided by the customer but may also be developed by Premier. Functional testing is more effective than in-circuit testing, requires less tooling capital and is ideal for smaller production runs.

We take great pride in the quality of our work. Premier Electronics has a Quality Assurance program that was developed to meet our customer's requirements.
