Huak's WEEE Certification & Testing Services

WEEE Testing ensures compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive, verifying that products are properly marked for recycling, reducing environmental impact, and promoting responsible disposal of electronic waste. Huak Testing streamlines the entire WEEE compliance testing framework for you, from national registration to reporting, ensuring your producer responsibilities are met efficiently.

Specification of WEEE Testing

WEEE testing ensures compliance with environmental regulations governing the disposal, recycling, and recovery of electronic and electrical waste. The WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) in the EU and similar regulations worldwide (e.g., RoHS, REACH, and e-waste laws) require manufacturers to assess and manage the environmental impact of their products.

Types of WEEE Testing

Hazardous Substance Testing

- RoHS Compliance Testing (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

- Checks for restricted materials (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr⁶⁺, PBB, PBDE, etc.)

- Conducted via XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) analyzers or chemical analysis

Product Durability & Disassembly Testing

- Evaluates how easily a product can be taken apart for recycling

- Assesses use of screws vs. adhesives, modularity, and material separation

Battery & Chemical Testing

- Ensures safe removal and disposal of batteries (Li-ion, Ni-Cd, etc.)

- Checks for leakage risks and proper labeling

Packaging & Labeling Compliance

- Verifies if products have the WEEE symbol (crossed-out wheeled bin)

- Ensures proper disposal instructions

WEEE Testing Process and Test Requirements

Key Stages in the WEEE Testing Lab Procedure

Sample Collection – Select representative products for testing
Material Analysis – XRF, ICP-MS, or wet chemistry tests for restricted substances
Disassembly Evaluation – Manual or automated dismantling assessment
Recycling Simulation – Tests metal/plastic recovery efficiency
Documentation & Certification – Prepares compliance reports for authorities
