EUROHS

RoHS certification introduction
The full name of the RoHS Directive is The Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment. In 2002, the European Union first proposed the concept of RoHS - a directive to restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (EEE).

Directive 2002/95/EC or RoHS: On July 21, 2011, the European Union restricted lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl e-thers ( PBDE) are used in the production of certain electrical and electronic equipment sold within the EU.

Directive 2011/65/EU or RoHS 2: On January 2, 2013, the EU restricted lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated biphenyls. e-ther (PBDE), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), tolyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), phthalic acid Diisobutyl ester (DIBP) (referred to as o-phenylene 4P).

In addition to the EU, other countries and regions around the world such as China, California, Singapore, India, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey have also introduced RoHS control requirements, making RoHS the most basic entry threshold for electronic and electrical products to enter the global market.
Test items and regulatory requirements
The content in each homogeneous material shall not exceed the following limits:
Lead: limit 1000ppm
Mercury: limit 1000ppm
Hexavalent chromium: limit 1000ppm
Cadmium: limit 100ppm
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB): limit 1000ppm
Polybrominated diphenyl e-thers (PBDE): limit 1000ppm
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): limit 1000ppm
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): limit 1000ppm
Butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP): limit 1000ppm
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): 1000ppm
Applicable product range
The product range covered by the RoHS Directive is quite broad, covering almost all electronic and electrical products and their raw materials:

Category 1 - Large household appliances
Category 2 - Small household appliances
Category 3 - IT and communications equipment
Class 4 - Consumer Equipment
Class 5 - Lighting Equipment
Class 6 - Electronic and electrical tools
Class 7 - Toys, Leisure and Sports Equipment
Class 8 - Medical Equipment
Class 9 - Monitoring equipment including industrial monitoring and control instruments
Class 10 – Vending machines
Category 11 - Other EEE not included in the above categories

application process
1. Apply for ROHS testing and submit the application form;
2. Our company provides a quotation;
3. Pay according to the quotation agreement between the two parties;
4. Mail samples to our company;
5. Arrangement of testing matters;
6. The data comes out, pass/fail;
7. Mail the report to the applicant and the test is completed.
Application materials
1. Only heavy metal detection is carried out: about 5-10g is required for solids and 5-10mL for liquids;
2. Only brominated flame retardants are tested: about 10-20g of solids and 10-20mL of liquids are required;
3. Detect heavy metals and organic pollutants: provide about 20-30g of samples;
4. Test other organic pollutants: provide about 30g of samples;
5. For samples that only test the coating (coating) part, the approximate weight of the material part of the coating (coating) must be indicated; if the weight of the coating (coating) part does not meet the sample quantity requirements, the coating (coating) must be provided coating) raw materials.

How much does RoHS testing cost?
RoHS testing is a very common chemical test, and the price is relatively cheap. RoHS testing is charged based on the material. One material costs about 600 yuan. For more materials, the package price can be calculated.

How long is the RoHS report valid for?
RoHS certification does not have a mandatory validity period. If the testing standards for RoHS certification are not officially revised, the original ROHS certificate can be valid for a long time.

How long does it take to do RoHS testing?
Common products apply for ROHS certification. On the premise that customers provide samples and information, the RoHS testing time for conventional products is about 5-7 days.

Does RoHS certification require factory inspection?
RoHS does not require factory inspection.
