Standards

At Induflex we work with professional protocols anduse materials that comply with recognized standards. We do that because standards are the common language that ensures quality,security and compatibility.

RoHS2

Definition

TheRoHS2 Directive concerns restrictions on the use of 6 hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU after July 2006.

We have obtained statements from our suppliers, all of whom are placed within the EU, that their plastic material complies with the RoHS2 Directive.

Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, our raw materials comply with the RoHS directive and does therefore not contain the substances mentioned in the Directive.

When placing an order, a RoHS2 declaration from Induflex on the compliance of the individual plastic materials with the Directive will be provided, if desired.

REACH

Definition

The REACH Regulation specifies that chemicals and plastics materials may only be used if they are assessed and registered with the EU Chemical Agency ECHA.

Our raw materials are manufactured primarily within the EU and, according to ourbest knowledge, comply with the regulation.

When placing an order, a REACH declaration from Induflex on the compliance of the individual plastics materials with the Regulation will be provided, if desired.

FKM

Definition

As we process and sell materials for food contact, we are registered at - and controlled by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, in accordance with current legislation.

You can read more about FKM materials, documentation and traceability here - and you can find our control reports from the Food Administration, here.

UL94

Definition

To classify the flammability of plastic materials, Underwriters Laboratories inthe United States have developed the standard UL94.

The standard classifies the materials according to their flammability in 6 groups from lowest to highest (most flame retardant) levels:

Classification	Description
HB	Slow burn speed / fire continues
V2	The flame goes out within 30 seconds. Drops of burning molten plastic are accepted.
V1	The flame goes out within 30 seconds. Drops of molten plastic are accepted, but do not burn.
V0	The flame stops within 10 seconds. Drops of molten plastic are accepted, but do not burn.
5VB	The flame stops within 60 seconds. Drops of molten plastic are not accepted, but fusion of the materials are accepted.
5VA	The flame stops within 60 seconds. Drops of molten plastic and fusion of the material are not accepted.

Our raw materials are all tested and classified according to UL94. These tests have been carried out at the laboratory of the producer of the raw material.

When placing an order, we will gladly provide you with documents of testing and standard conformance. The classification is also shown in our plastic matrix.
