XRF Analysis (ROHS Testing)

XRF Analysis Allows Us to Verify the Elements in a Package

XRF Analysis

The implementation of ROHS compliance requirements has caused some major impacts on the supply chain. Some manufacturers did not change their part number when parts where transferred from SnPb alloy to Lead Free. This means that a grey area exists in what terminations’ parts actually are.

Our XRF analysis facility (ROHS testing lab) allows a non-destructive method to determine what alloy a termination consists of. All devices can be covered using this process, including BGA’s, QFP’s, TSOP’s and Connectors etc. We can check all components for ROHS compliance. When the parts are tested, we also supply ROHS certification (ROHS coc). As part of our PCB repair business, Retronix Ltd provide an alloy conversion service. This allows us to convert the alloy of the terminations and if need be we can also refresh the existing alloy.

Our XRF analysis does not only have the component testing capability to check if components are ROHS compliant, we can also verify which elements your components are made up of.
