Walmart RoHS Certification Program for the United States

Intertek provides end-to-end solutions to suppliers for compliance with the requirements of Walmart's new RoHS Certification Program.

On August 19, 2009, Walmart announced Intertek as a chosen partner to provide RoHS certification for Walmart Department 15 products.

To support Walmart and your company's needs, Intertek has designed a cost-effective program that will assure your products are RoHS compliant. In addition, Intertek will provide support, where needed, to achieve product compliance.

Intertek RoHS Certification Process

1. Documentation Review
   • Bill of Materials, assembly drawings, material declarations, test reports, Certificates of Conformance, etc.
    
2. Process Audit
   • Verify manufacturing processes related to RoHS compliance
   • Identify High Risk Materials
    
3. Lab Testing
   • High Risk Materials that can not be verified using XRF screening are sent to an Intertek laboratory for RoHS chemical testing to determine the maximum concentration values of the six RoHS substances [lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenylether (PBDE)]
    
4. Product Certification
