RoHS + REACH testing cost in the EU
RoHS + REACH SVHC report: from €250 – €700 (net EUR · indicative). RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) is a precondition for CE marking of any electronics — this per-material report is the lowest-cost file that makes a device legally sellable.
What the package covers
Most cost-driving element
Number of distinct homogeneous materials needing wet-chemistry confirmation — RoHS limits apply per material, so a multi-material device multiplies ICP/GC-MS runs.
You pay extra for
- +Each extra homogeneous material / colour
- +Cr(VI) + phthalate confirmation when XRF is inconclusive
- +Full REACH SVHC quantification beyond a declaration
- +Disassembly into homogeneous materials
- +Rush turnaround
The estimate is net of VAT and indicative — a market benchmark, not a quotation. The real figure depends on the number of samples and material variants (the Complexity Factor). Brokers typically add a ~€97 service fee per order.
What the test price covers
An accredited test is a whole process, not just a measurement:
- ✓Sample preparation — intake, conditioning, sometimes disassembly or grinding.
- ✓Calibration and upkeep of the instruments — so the result is reliable.
- ✓The accredited test itself — a standardised method with internal quality checks (control samples that confirm the measurement is sound).
- ✓Evaluation by a qualified specialist — with the measurement uncertainty stated.
- ✓A formal accredited test report — the basis for your Declaration of Conformity.
- ✓Disposal of the samples and waste — in line with regulations.
- ✓Upkeep of the accreditation and quality system — the cost of credibility.
