RS sources its RS Essentials products both locally and globally. Once a potential supplier has been found, the products are tested for their quality, their ability to meet specifications and their compliance with regulations and guidelines.
Alan Lund, Group Product Compliance Manager at RS, commented, "As a company, we're focused on always offering the highest quality products and there is a constant stream that needs to be checked for compliance, often down to component level. Our lab even carries out a range of specialist procedures to check for BSI/RoHS compliance where appropriate. We also have advanced expertise across the full range of electrical testing procedures. When buying from the RS Essentials range, customers can be confident that they are getting outstanding quality and value.”
RS has introduced flags to highlight the RS Essentials products, both online and within the catalogue, making it easier for customers to identify the range and choice available.
