RoHS certification is the English abbreviation of "The restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". ROHS certification is also called environmental certification, which is in line with European and American standards. According to its regulations, the EU will ban imports of harmful heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and polybrominated biphenyls in electrical and electronic products from July 1, 2006.

介绍 ROHS Directive Introduction

On January 27, 2003, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union passed the 2002/95 / EC directive, The Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment), referred to as RoHS Directive. The basic content is: from July 1, 2006, in the newly introduced electronic and electrical equipment products, the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), etc. are restricted. Six harmful substances. After the RoHS directive was issued, it became a formal EU-wide law from February 13, 2003; before August 13, 2004, EU member states were converted into national laws / regulations; on February 13, 2005, the European Commission re-examined The scope of the directive and the consideration of the development of new technology, the formulation of additional items on the list of banned substances; after July 1, 2006, the EU market will officially ban the sale of products with excessive levels of six substances.

最新 ROHS latest directive

The European Union issued the latest ROHS Directive 2011/65 / EU on July 1, 2011, updating the previous 2002/95 / EC directive.

Compared with the original directive, the 2011/65 / EU directive is different from the original RoHS directive (2002/95 / EC) mainly in:

1. Expanded the product range to include all electrical and electronic products within the scope of the directive (including cables and spare parts), added category 8 products "medical equipment" and category 9 products "monitoring and Control equipment includes industrial monitoring and control equipment. " The transition period for medical equipment, monitoring and control equipment is July 22, 2014, the transition period for external diagnostic medical equipment is July 22, 2016, and the transition period for industrial monitoring and control equipment is July 22, 2017. In addition, 20 exemptions have been given for these two types of products;

2. Clarified some definitions, deleted the definition of "producer", and added the definitions of "manufacturer", "authorized representative", "importer", "seller" and clarified their responsibilities At the same time, manufacturers and importers must continue to register electronic and electrical products that do not meet the requirements of the directive and recalls, and pass relevant information to the sellers;

3. The scope of controlled substances has not been expanded and the original limit requirements for the six substances have been maintained, but it has been proposed that in the future review process, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), bis (ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP), butylphenyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and other substances will be inspected first, paving the way for the future expansion of the scope of controlled substances;

4. CE marking and declaration of conformity, before EEE products are put on the market, the manufacturer / importer / seller needs to ensure that the relevant assessment has been made in accordance with the compliance assessment procedure of Module A of 768/2008 / EC Annex II and must be Put CE mark on the final product. Relevant technical documents and EU declaration of conformity shall be retained for at least 10 years. A template for the declaration of compliance is given in Appendix VI of the Directive.

This directive will enter into force on the 20th of the OJ. Member states need to convert it into their national laws by January 2, 2013. The 2002/95 / EC directive and its revised provisions listed in Part A of Appendix VII have been in force since 2013. It will be abolished on January 3,

BCTC accepts RoHS certification scope

The "electronic and electrical equipment" in the RoHS directive refers to equipment designed to use AC voltage not exceeding 1000V and DC voltage not exceeding 1500V, which normally rely on current or electromagnetic fields for normal operation and the generation, transmission and measurement of these currents and magnetic fields. device.
