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 put forward the concept of RoHS-the directive restricting 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 ethers ( PBDE) is used in the production process of certain electrical and electronic equipment sold in the European Union.

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), polybrominated biphenyls Ether (PBDE), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), tolylbutyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), phthalic acid Diisobutyl ester (DIBP) (abbreviated as o-benzene 4P).

In addition to the European Union, other countries and regions around the world such as China, California, Singapore, India, UAE, Turkey, etc. have also introduced RoHS control requirements, making RoHS the most basic entry barrier for electronic and electrical products to enter the global market.

Testing items and regulatory requirements

The content of each homogeneous material shall not exceed the following limits:

Lead: Limit 1000ppm

Mercury: limit 1000ppm

Hexavalent chromium: limit 1000ppm

Cadmium: 100ppm limit

application process

1. Apply for ROHS testing and submit the application form;

2. Our company provides a quotation;

3. Make payment according to the quotation agreement between the two parties;

4. Mail samples to our company;

5. Arrangement of inspection matters;

6. The data comes out, pass/fail;

7. Mail the report to the applicant, and the test is over.

Application materials

1. Only heavy metal detection: about 5-10g for solids and 5-10mL for liquids;

2. Only detect brominated flame retardants: about 10-20g for solids and 10-20mL for liquids;

3. Carry out the detection of organic pollutants sent by heavy metals: provide about 20-30g samples;

4. Perform other organic pollutants detection: provide about 30g samples;

5. Only test the samples of the coating (coating) part, and the approximate weight of the material part of the coating (coating) should be indicated; if the weight of the coating (coating) part does not meet the requirements of the sample quantity, the coating should 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 according to the material, a material is about 600 yuan, and more materials can be calculated as a package.

How long is the validity period of the RoHS report?

RoHS certification does not have a mandatory validity period. If the RoHS certification test standard is 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 the customer provides 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.
