Legislation and Compliance
RoHS Certificate of Compliance
EU Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 restrict the use of the 10 substances below in the manufacture of specified types of electrical equipment.
Whilst this restriction does not legally apply to components, it is recognised that component “compliance” is relevant to many customers.
RS definition of RoHS Compliance:
- The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,
- and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering
The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight:
| Substance | Concentration |
| Lead | 0.1% |
| Mercury | 0.1% |
| PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyls) | 0.1% |
| PBDE ( Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) | 0.1% |
| Hexavalent Chromium | 0.1% |
| Cadmium | 0.01% |
| DEHP (Bis (2-Ethylhexl) phthalate) | 0.1% |
| BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
| DIBP (Diisobutyl phthalate) | 0.1% |
The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant".
RS Components has taken all reasonable steps to confirm this statement. Information relates only to products sold on or after the date of this certificate.

Product Details
RS Pro Guass Meter IM-191
Our high quality brand RS Pro presents this handheld light weight Guassmeter, a great instrument for measuring magnetic fields of extremely low frequency (ELF) of 30 to 300 Hz. With a large user friendly LCD display of 3-1/2 digits it has a display range of 20, 200 and 2000. Display units are featured in micro-Tesla and mini-Guass, with an overload indication (LCD displays 'OL') and a low battery indication. With around 100 hours of battery life, measurement and testing is accurate and easy using the large soft press button panel.

How Does a Gauss Meter Work?
Guassmeters are a Hall probe, a test current is sent by the meter through the probe. This Hall affect produces a voltage and the meter then records this. Often the highest voltage detected is used or frozen by the meter as voltage fluctuation is common given that magnetic fields are rarely static.
Did you know?
Carl Friederich Gauss born in 1777 developed one of the first devices that could measure direction and strength of a magnetic field. He was a pioneer in this type of study and a great mathematician. He created the system used to measure magnetism and is the reason the modern unit of flux density is named Guass and why we call these units Guass meters.
