Frequently asked — Mathibela

What is RoHS and which Indian products must comply?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive restricts 10 substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).

What are EU Rapid Alert System (RASFF) notifications and how do they affect Indian agro-food exporters?
RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) is the EU' food safety alert network. If Indian agro-food is found to contain pesticide residues above MRL, undeclared allergens, pathogens, or other hazards, EU member state authorities file a RASFF notification — publicly visible on the RASFF portal. RASFF notifications for Indian origin: most commonly for aflatoxins (spices, nuts), pesticide MRL exceedances (vegetables, fruits, spices), and Salmonella (spices, sesame). To avoid: test against EU MRLs (stricter than Codex) at an EU-accredited laboratory before each shipment.
