You are concerned about ROHS testing

Date：2022-08-18 15:42:27Views：1088

For Chinese enterprises, all electronic and electrical products entering the EU market must pass the ROHS certification to ensure that the ten hazardous substances contained in the products do not exceed the limit standards. Otherwise, they will not be able to export the products to the EU market. Even if they are lucky enough to export, they may face huge fines or even criminal detention once found, and may even cause the entire enterprise to be kicked out of the EU market (except for the exemption mechanism).

RoHS exemption mechanism is a series of exemptions formulated for some hazardous substances that are difficult to be removed in specific applications (materials) or temporarily unable to use other alternative substances. It should be noted that most of the exemptions here are only broader than the conventional restrictions, not unlimited exemptions; Moreover, as many of the reasons for exemption are related to the level of technology, when the technology is feasible in the future, the exemption will be considered to be cancelled instead of indefinitely.

What is EU ROHS?

The full name of EU ROHS directive is "directive on restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment". In addition to the European Union, 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. Chuangxin online testing center provides you with professional ROHS testing services to help your products enter the domestic and overseas markets smoothly.

What is EU ROHS 1.0?

In 2006, the European Union enacted a mandatory standard ROHS directive, which is mainly used to regulate the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products. The purpose is to eliminate six substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electronic and electrical products.

What is EU ROHS 2.0?

RoHS 2.0 is also known as the ten items of RoHS. In 2015, the European Union issued directive (EU) 2015 / 863 in its official gazette to amend RoHS Annex II, and officially listed four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP and DiBP) in RoHS 2.0 in Annex II. So far, there are ten mandatory controlled substances in Annex II. After the issuance of the directive, all EU Member States shall translate the directive into national regulations and implement it before December 31, 2016.

RoHS 2.0 limited requirements?

Rohs2.0 directive stipulates that the controlled products shall be calculated as "homogeneous" materials, and the contents of lead (PB), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP) shall not exceed 1000ppm respectively, The content of cadmium (CD) shall not exceed 100ppm.

The maximum working voltage of the electronic and electrical equipment involved in the RoHS 2.0 Directive shall not exceed 1000 Volts AC and 1500 volts DC.

ROHS test principles?

The products are divided according to the materials, and the harmful substances are detected with different materials. Generally speaking, four harmful metal elements (CD CD / Pb Pb / HG HG / Cr6 + hexavalent chromium) should be tested for metal materials. In addition to these four harmful heavy metal elements, brominated flame retardants (PBB / PBDE) and plasticizers (DEHP, BBP, DBP) should also be tested for plastic materials Diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP))

ROHS testing process?

Provide test samples → fill in the application form → evaluate the test cost and cycle → confirm the quotation and scheme → sign back the contract and make payment → carry out the test in the laboratory → issue the test report after passing the test.

Cycle of ROHS test?

It normally takes about 5-7 working days.

ROHS test fee?

The fees are mainly charged according to the materials. The materials of different products are different, so the fees are also different.

Coverage?

RoHS directive covers the electronic and electrical products listed in the catalogue below AC1000V and DC1500V:

1. Large household appliances: refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, air conditioner, etc

2. Small household appliances: vacuum cleaner, electric iron, hair dryer, oven, clock, etc

3. It and communication equipment: computer, fax machine, telephone, mobile phone, etc

4. Civil installations: Radio, television, video recorder, musical instrument, etc

5. Lighting appliances: fluorescent lamps other than household lighting, lighting control devices

6. Electric tools: electric drill, lathe, welding, spray, etc. (except for large industrial tools to be installed)

7. Toys / entertainment, sports equipment: electric vehicles, video game machines, automatic gambling machines, etc

8. Medical equipment: radiation therapy instrument, electrocardiogram tester, analysis instrument, etc

9. Monitoring / control device: smoke detector, thermostat, factory monitoring and control machine, etc

10. Vending machine

Among them, Articles 8 and 9 of the RoHS Directive are not applicable for the time being.

At present, Europe has formulated some regulations on chemical substances, mainly including 76 / 769 / EEC (Directive on the marketing and use restriction of hazardous substances and additives), 91 / 157 / EEC (Directive on batteries / batteries containing specific hazardous substances), 94 / 62 / EC (Directive on packaging and wastes), 2000 / 53 / EC (ELV directive for end-of-life vehicles), 2002 / 96 / EC (WEEE Directive for end-of-life electronics and electrical) 2002 / 95 / EC (Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products ROHS directive).

In recent years, the RoHS exemption mechanism has been continuously revised, and the scope of application has gradually narrowed, showing an increasingly strict trend as a whole. Therefore, enterprises should step up the research and development of substitutes for hazardous substances in exempted materials, so as to seize the market opportunity in advance. For ROHS certification, enterprises only need to send relevant products to qualified professional laboratories for analysis and testing to ensure that the ten hazardous substances of RoHS 2.0 in the products meet the requirements of RoHS directives. If yes, the products can be exported to the EU with the results and reports of the ROHS test. If not, it is necessary to find ways to improve the process or find other substitutes to reduce the presence of harmful substances. Shenzhen Chuangxin Online Testing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chuangxin testing") was established in 2018. Our company has professional engineers and industry elite teams, and has three standardized laboratories with an area of more than 1800 square meters.
