SVHC TESTING

What to do if the SVHC content exceeds the limit? Emergency response planTrace the supply chain to identify the source of contaminationIf the SVHC content exceeds the limit, the source is likely to be within the supply chain. We need to act like detectives, carefully investigating along the supply chain to locate the hidden source of contamination. Only by identifying the root cause can we take targeted measures to prevent such issues from occurring again.Negotiate with suppliers for material substitutionOnce the source of contamination is identified and it is determined that the problem lies with the raw materials, it is necessary to discuss with the suppliers the possibility of replacing these materials with ones that meet the standards. By working together, we may be able to find alternative materials that not only meet quality requirements but also address the SVHC excess issue. This approach will not only resolve the current compliance crisis but also help establish a stronger partnership with suppliers, resulting in a win-win situation for both parties.Redesign the product or production processIf negotiations with suppliers fail to resolve the issue, we must look for solutions within our own products and production processes. We may need to redesign the product or optimize the production process to ensure that materials or methods that could lead to SVHC excess are no longer used. Although this may require some time and effort, it is essential for ensuring product compliance.Re-test after making adjustmentsAfter implementing the necessary corrective measures, it is crucial to retest the products. Only by passing these tests can we confirm that our efforts have been effective and that the products now meet the relevant standards. This final step serves as a verification of the entire resolution process, ensuring that we have truly addressed the SVHC excess issue.
