Osceola, Wisconsin, June 23, 2014 - Only one month remains for medical equipment manufacturing and distribution companies to gain RoHS 2 compliance. On July 22nd, CE-marking medical devices in the same way will no longer be possible without adherence to the new directive. Companies that have concerns or questions, or need additional support to complete the recast RoHS certification process, can find a rapidly responding ally in Northwire, Inc., a leading cable manufacturer and contract engineering company.
To help valued customers, strategic partners and others in the life science industry acquire RoHS compliance for medical devices, Northwire’s TEAM of subject matter experts and certification specialists offers a comprehensive range of services including RoHS testing, pre-validated materials sourcing, guidance through vital documentation, and more.
Testing
Northwire offers a quality testing lab for Supervised Manufacturer’s Testing for Certification Program qualified by CSA Group and based on ISO 17025:2005. The contract manufacturer has also invested in an in-house, non-destructive, x-ray fluorescence material analyzer for RoHS testing. The same technology is used by regulatory agencies, and provides companies with electronic and hardcopy results instantly.
Sourcing
In addition to providing certified RoHS cables for medical devices, surgical equipment, and other life science applications, Northwire has assembled a supplier database with RoHS compliant validated materials. Companies in immediate need may benefit from selecting certain materials or parts from these suppliers until they are able to produce the RoHS compliant products themselves to avoid penalization or market share loss.
Documentation
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer, authorized representative, importer, or distributer to provide proof of RoHS 2 validation. This is not limited to the Declaration of Conformity; there are various forms of technical documentation necessary to the RoHS certificate of compliance. Northwire’s TEAM is adept at navigating these complex international guidelines to help companies understand and complete all needed documentation.
