What This SGS RoHS Certificate Confirms for PBT Black Plastic
This SGS RoHS Compliance Certificate verifies that the Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) black plastic materials supplied by our company meet the safety and environmental requirements of the EU RoHS Directive 2015/863. The directive restricts the use of specific hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, and this certification confirms our material's compliance with those limits.
As a globally recognized third-party laboratory, SGS's assessment provides independent verification of our material's compliance. For buyers and engineers, this certificate serves as documented evidence that the PBT black plastic used in connector housings and components aligns with EU market entry requirements.
Why RoHS Compliance Matters for Connector Materials
RoHS compliance is a prerequisite for selling electrical and electronic products into the EU market. When you source connector components, the material compliance of the plastic housing is as important as the electrical performance of the contacts. A certified material helps you avoid supply chain disruptions and supports smoother customs clearance and market access.
For design engineers, this certificate provides confidence that the PBT black plastic can be specified without additional hazardous substance testing. For procurement teams, it simplifies supplier qualification and documentation review.
Key Compliance Points Covered by the Certificate
- Restricted substances under EU RoHS Directive 2015/863 are tested and verified within allowable limits.
- The certification applies specifically to PBT black plastic materials used in our production.
- Third-party verification by SGS adds independent credibility to the compliance claim.
- The certificate supports EU trade compliance and sustainable supply chain documentation.
How This Certification Supports Your Procurement Decisions
When evaluating connector materials, request the RoHS certificate as part of your supplier documentation review. Verify that the certificate covers the specific material grade and color you intend to use, as compliance can vary by formulation. This certificate covers our PBT black plastic, which is commonly used in connector housings requiring good mechanical strength and dimensional stability.
If your application requires additional environmental compliance documentation, such as REACH or halogen-free declarations, confirm those separately with your supplier.
Next Steps for Buyers and Engineers
If you are selecting connector materials for an EU-bound product or need to verify material compliance for an existing design, contact our team with your material specification and application details. We can provide the relevant documentation and discuss how our PBT black plastic fits your requirements.
