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".

Product Details
RS Pro IPM242 Power Clampmeter
From RS PRO, this IPM242 clamp meter serves as a first line of defence for spot checking and verifying system conditions before deploying more specialised tools. Featuring a full range of diagnostic capabilities including phase sequence, power & power factor, total harmonics distortion & individual harmonics, inrush current and low pass filter, They are rated CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V with voltage measurement up to 1000 V ac/dc. The new innovative navigation system eliminates confusing push buttons, and replaces them with a single joystick allowing the selection of functions directly on the display.
It functions as a multimeter and analyzer with a clamp that is ideal for multifunctions including current and voltage measurements.
Battery-powered for maximum portability, and with a large backlit screen, this current clamp meter is ideal for on-the-go applications in almost any environment.
It is also supplied in a carry case to keep the clampmeter safe and secure during transit.

Applications
This multifunction current clamp meter is designed for current measurement in electrical testing, and combines a digital multimeter with a clamping current sensor. The nature of the clamp means that it can fit around a wire at any point to sense AC and DC Current as well as inrush current. This has the advantage of allowing electricians to take a reading from a wire without touching it, which is both more convenient and safer than other methods.
They are used for measuring high levels of current in service and maintenance applications. They are also used when installing electrical equipment.
True RMS (Root Mean Square) reading has advantages over average RMS reading in that it compensates for interfering electronic loads or distorted sinewaves to give an accurate reading.
