Optical fibre cable compliance testing for RoHS, REACH, SVHC, PFAS and packaging requirements to support market access and customer needs.
Optical fibre cable compliance testing for RoHS, REACH, SVHC, PFAS and packaging requirements to support market access and customer needs.
Protect market access
Support compliance with environmental and chemical regulations affecting optical fibre cables and packaging in global markets, particularly Europe.
Reduce compliance risks
Identify potential restricted substances and compliance risks that can lead to product recalls, market restrictions and supply-chain disruptions.
.
Strengthen customer confidence
Support customer requirements and prepare for evolving environmental and chemical regulations with testing and assessment from TÜV SÜD.
The optical fibre cable industry is facing increasing regulatory pressure from global markets, particularly Europe. Optical fibre cables consist of a complex combination of materials that may contain restricted substances regulated under various regulations.
For cable manufacturers in India and the ASMEA region, optical fibre cable compliance testing can support compliance with evolving environmental and chemical regulations such as:
Failure to comply with applicable regulations can result in:
TÜV SÜD can support manufacturers and exporters with testing, assessment and regulatory compliance solutions for optical fibre cables and their packaging.
Electrical and electronic cable components must meet RoHS substance restrictions.
TÜV SÜD's RoHS compliance testing support can include assessment and testing for restricted substances such as:
Optical fibre cables may contain a wide range of materials and chemical substances, including polymer coatings, jackets, plastics, adhesives, additives, metals and other components.
TÜV SÜD can support REACH testing and assessment with:
These services support manufacturers addressing applicable REACH testing requirements and SVHC testing for optical fibre cable materials.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces requirements affecting packaging placed on the EU market.
For optical fibre cable suppliers, PPWR packaging compliance may involve assessment of packaging materials such as:
TÜV SÜD can support with:
Halogens such as chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) may be present in cable polymers, flame-retardant systems and other materials.
TÜV SÜD can support manufacturers with chlorine and bromine screening and testing.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are increasingly subject to regulatory restrictions and customer requirements worldwide.
TÜV SÜD can support with PFAS screening and assessment to:
As environmental and chemical requirements evolve, manufacturers need to keep their products and packaging aligned with applicable market and customer requirements. Optical fibre cable compliance testing can help identify potential compliance risks and support continued market access.
Stay compliant. Protect market access. Strengthen customer confidence with TÜV SÜD.
Discuss your optical fibre cable and packaging compliance requirements with TÜV SÜD.
Reports on PFAS found on textiles and apparel have forced authorities to ramp up regulatory measures. But what are these forever chemicals?
