RoHS and REACH legislation covers products that are brought into the European market and the purpose of both directives is to limit the contamination of products by hazardous substances. RoHS and REACH do not only apply to electrical and electronic products. The scope of the directives (http://www.ee.sgs.com/regulatory-requirements.htm ) applies to raw materials which are used in the manufacture of electrical and electronic products and the contamination of natural resources through the manufacturing process is also designed to be limited and mitigated through the application of the directives.
SGS is the first accredited body to carry out accredited assessments for both RoHS and REACH (http://www.ee.sgs.com/sustainability-services.htm ) on a global scale. SGS thus offers Brazilian exporters a competitive advantage as well as a means of support designed to reach beyond the technical barriers that are put up in the face of Brazilian products.
