The purpose of the proposed tender requirement is to source a suitable accredited test laboratory that will conduct the testing of product samples in accordance with BS EN/IEC 62321 over the period that will verify compliance with the following regulations: • The Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 (as amended). (UK) Statutory Instrument 2012 No. 3032 2015/1094 - Environmental Protection. The length of the proposed contract is 2 years. As the actual number and type of products required for testing in a six month period cannot be accurately established, it is proposed orders will be placed on a call-off basis (as and when) with the successful contractor. We envisage there being a minimum of 150 tests and a maximum of 500 tests required over the period of the contract. The testing will be to verify compliance with RoHS regulations and will examine the presence of all TEN substances listed in these regulations. The restricted substances that need to be tested for are: Lead (0,1 %) Mercury (0,1 %) Cadmium (0,01 %) Hexavalent chromium (0,1 %) Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) (0,1 %) Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) (0,1 %) Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (0,1 %) Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) (0,1 %) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (0,1 %) Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (0,1 %) Generally, the test will include all XRF screening, Chromium 6 testing, Bromine speciation and Phthalate tests, and any further testing necessary to provide conclusive results. It is anticipated that there may be a number of variants to be applied to any one parcel, such as product size, additional test points, additional Hexavalent Chromium testing, that may be listed and priced agreed within the contract.
