Jiwei Level Meters Meet RoHS & REACH Environmental Compliance Requirements
With the growing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainability, environmental compliance for electronic and industrial instrumentation has become increasingly strict. Enterprises now pay attention not only to product performance and reliability but also to whether products comply with international environmental regulations. Compliance ensures smooth export, lawful use, and reduced environmental risk.
In the field of industrial automation, level meters—key instruments for liquid and solid measurement—are also under scrutiny for their environmental compliance. Shenzhen Jiwei Automations Ltd. (“Jiwei”) has integrated environmental requirements into its design and production processes, offering level meters with RoHS and REACH compliance marks to guarantee safe and reliable procurement and export for clients.
1. Overview of RoHS and REACH Regulations
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) was first introduced by the European Union in 2002 and updated to RoHS 2.0 (Directive 2011/65/EU) in 2011.
Its core objective is to limit hazardous substances—such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), PBB, and PBDE—in electrical and electronic equipment. By controlling these substances, RoHS aims to reduce risks to human health and the environment and promote the development of green manufacturing.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) was officially implemented by the EU in 2007. It requires companies to register, evaluate, and manage chemicals used in their products to ensure safety and control of hazardous substances. REACH applies not only to chemical manufacturers and importers but also to all industrial products containing chemical components, including electronic instruments, machinery, and sensors.
Both RoHS and REACH regulations have a direct impact on material selection, production processes, supply chain management, and export compliance.
For industrial automation equipment like level meters—which involve metals, plastics, electronic components, and sealing materials—compliance determines whether products can enter markets that strictly enforce these regulations.
2. Importance of Environmental Compliance for Level Meters
Level meters are widely used in chemical, food, energy, grain storage, and metallurgical industries for continuous or point-level measurement of liquids or powders.
As smart factories and industrial automation advance, level meters play an irreplaceable role in production safety, equipment protection, efficiency, and quality control.
In addition to performance requirements such as accuracy, high-temperature and pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, and vibration resistance, level meters must also comply with environmental regulations like RoHS and REACH.
Non-compliant instruments may result in:
- Ineligibility for export to EU or other RoHS/REACH markets
- Legal risks and fines
- Environmental and health hazards during operation
- Damage to brand reputation and competitiveness
Therefore, RoHS and REACH certified level meters have become a key factor in modern industrial instrumentation selection.
3. How Jiwei Ensures RoHS and REACH Compliance
Shenzhen Jiwei Automation understands customers’ needs for environmental compliance in industrial production.
Throughout R&D, manufacturing, and supply processes, Jiwei strictly adheres to RoHS and REACH requirements to ensure products meet international environmental standards.
Key measures include:
- Compliant Material Selection:
Jiwei uses materials that meet RoHS limits for restricted substances (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr6+, PBB, PBDE). For components involving adhesives or chemical additives, strict REACH management ensures no SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) are used. - Production Process Control:
Jiwei has established a complete material traceability and quality control system. Each batch of raw materials is tested to ensure RoHS and REACH compliance from source to finished product. - Certification and Labeling:
Jiwei level meters are supplied with RoHS and REACH marks and supporting documents, such as test reports and declarations, to facilitate customers’ purchasing and export compliance. - Technical Support:
Jiwei provides professional consultation, documentation, and customized compliance solutions to help customers easily meet international certification requirements.
Through these practices, Jiwei level meters not only deliver reliable, accurate, and durable performance but also offer strong environmental compliance assurance—reducing risks in purchasing, use, and export.
4. The Value of RoHS & REACH Compliance Marks
RoHS and REACH labels are more than regulatory symbols; they represent:
- Export readiness — ensuring smooth access to EU, North American, and other environmentally regulated markets
- Risk control — minimizing legal and financial risks due to non-compliance
- Environmental responsibility — demonstrating corporate commitment to sustainability
- Brand enhancement — strengthening a company’s image as a responsible, green manufacturer
For industrial enterprises, selecting level meters with RoHS and REACH compliance is not only a regulatory need but also a step toward green production, smart manufacturing, and internationalization.
5. Conclusion
With global focus on green manufacturing and environmental protection increasing, environmental compliance of industrial instruments is becoming more critical.
Shenzhen Jiwei Automation’s level meters fully comply with RoHS and REACH regulations and are supplied with all related documentation.
By combining strict material selection, process control, and technical support, Jiwei enables customers to maintain measurement accuracy and equipment safety while easily meeting international environmental standards and minimizing export risks.
Choosing Jiwei means choosing both reliability and environmental compliance — a solid step toward smart and sustainable industrial development.
