WOBURN, MA – To help manufacturers meet the RoHS Directive, Innov-X Systems has launched a rental program for its line portable XRF analyzers.

The program permits companies to rent at reduced rates over a short period of time and apply 100% of rental fees toward purchase for up to the first month.

XRF testing supports due diligence standards defined by several EU enforcement agencies.

“We see countless examples of suppliers who believe their materials are complaint based on the material test reports yet testing shows excessive levels of Pb, Cd or other regulated substances,” said president Don Sackett.

“This ‘test the waters’ rental program is our way to help the component suppliers, OEMs and contract manufacturers understand how XRF testing helps with compliance.”
