Product Risk Assessment

RSJ's Product Risk Assessment is designed help you identify your risks for noncompliant products:
	We identify the environmental regulations that apply to your industry and products
	We analyze your bill of materials (BOM Scrub) to identify the materials in your products that are problematic, i.e. likely to be noncompliant
	We screen your assembly and off-the-shelf parts with an XRF analyzer to see whether they meet the required ppm levels
	We help you assess the reliability of your suppliers based upon their implementation of good manufacturing practices (due diligence controls, full disclosure of substances, software systems)

A dirty little secret about supplier data is that the product you receive may be significantly different from the CofC, 1752 or MDS furnished by the supplier. There are a number of reasons for this, including poor quality control and/or undocumented changes in the product's manufacture.

Relying on the data submitted by your supplier is no defense against prosecution if a your non-compliant product ends up on the market. Your best defense is “due diligence”. Due diligence requires that you take all reasonable steps to verify the information in the CofC to determine whether a supplier's certificates can be trusted.

XRF screening is recommended by the IEC to screen materials/components/products for the presence of RoHS prohibited substances. RSJ recommends XRF screening whenever you do not have full disclosure of substances.

RSJ's special expertise is the development of quality data (about your products, materials, substances). Quality data means lower risk for both you and your customer. Our background in applications engineering means that we know what to look for and can anticipate areas of noncompliance.

RSJ offers quality work that you can afford. Our services are extremely cost-effective because of our low overhead. We are here to help you! Please email us (include your phone number) if you would like to receive a quote for our Product Risk Assessment.
