Recently, Xingtai Steel took the samples to SGS, an international authoritative testing organization, for testing SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) under REACH regulation and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). According to the test report, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr6+, PBBs, PBDEs and other 10 items of 30 substances were not detected, which complies with the EU’s ROHS directive requirements; 60 substances very high concern were also not detected. Thus, all the results meet the EU requirements.

　　Since 2009, fasteners and special-shaped parts produced by Xingtai Steel have been used by downstream users. These products were widely used in electronic products which are exported to EU, such as instruments and apparatus. Xingtai Steel carries out this inspection and got the qualified result every time. That shows that the wire products of Xingtai Steel have a strong guarantee for quality safety and can meet the EU requirement.
