What is RSL testing?
Restricted Substances Lists (RSL) testing helps manufacturers and retailers ensure that their products comply with the fast-changing regulations and standards that govern which kind of chemicals and substances can be used in products. TÜV SÜD experts conduct RSL testing by putting products through a range of laboratory tests to ascertain which substances are used in the product. We also review the manufacturer’s product notes. Finally, we produce a report and certification to demonstrate that the product is compliant.
Our services for RSL Testing include:
- Updating the RSL in relation to your products.
- Alerting you to hazardous substances in your products.
- Auditing your supply chain to discover the source of a restricted substance.
- Ensure you are compliant with the RoHS substance list.
Why restricted substances list testing is important
Many restricted chemicals and substances continue to be used in the production process. The RSL test is a practical tool to help alert your business as to whether the chemicals and materials used in your products are permitted. It enables you to control the use of these substances in your own processes, as well as those of suppliers and retailers across your supply chain. This is increasingly important, as most major brands now insist that their stakeholders and partners conform to RSL testing standards.
