RoHS testing and certification is a third-party testing agency. RoHS certification is the Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, which stipulates that 10 hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polybrominated biphenyls, and DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP, are restricted in electrical and electronic products.

The European Union (EU) Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive initially came into force on July 1, 2006, which regulates the use of substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) sold, distributed or imported into the European market. The established objective of the Directive is to significantly reduce the negative impact of products on human health and the environment. The Directive limits the use of 6 substances (now 10) at the beginning for products and equipment within the manufacturing scope.

The main contents of 2011/65/EU are summarized as follows:

1. RoHS specific product scope

It clarifies the scope of control and related definitions of the Directive, and expands the scope of control products to all electronic and electrical equipment except for special exemptions:

Including medical equipment of Class 8 products exempted by 2002/95/EC and monitoring equipment of Class 9 products;

Category 11 products: all other electronic and electrical equipment not covered by Category 1~10 products, including cables and other parts.

2. Restricted substances

RoHS2.0 lists ten hazardous substances, including lead Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury Hg, hexavalent chromium Cr6+, polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE, polybrominated biphenyl PBB, DEHP, DBP, BBP and DIBP.

3. CE mark requirements

Include RoHS compliance of electronic and electrical equipment into CE marking requirements. The manufacturer shall ensure that the products comply with RoHS and prepare corresponding statements and technical documents when posting the CE logo.

4. Provisions on transition period

In order to give new manufacturers of RoHS2.0 controlled products sufficient time to meet the requirements of the Directive, RoHS2.0 certification sets a control transition period for related products.

(1) Medical equipment, monitoring equipment and their parts shall comply with RoHS2.0 since July 22, 2014;

(2) In vitro diagnostic medical equipment and its parts shall comply with RoHS2.0 since July 22, 2016;

(3) Industrial monitoring equipment and its parts shall comply with RoHS2.0 since July 22, 2017;

(4) Other new products under RoHS2.0 control shall comply with RoHS2.0 from July 22, 2019;

The RoHS Directive applies to the following types of equipment:

1. Large household appliances; Small household appliances;

2. IT and telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is tax-free in some countries);

3. Consumer equipment; Lighting equipment – including bulbs;

4. Electronic and electrical tools; Toys, leisure and sports equipment;

5. Medical devices (exemption was cancelled in July 2011);

6. Monitoring and control tools (exemption was cancelled in July 2011);

7. Automatic distributor.

Marking precautions for RoHS certification:

1. The mark shall be clear, visible, fade resistant and easy to remove;

2. When the mark is on the product, it should be generally marked at the obvious part of the product, such as the front of the product, the side and back of the product with function keys;

3. Other appropriate eye-catching colors can also be used, and the molded color can be the same as the product color.

4. If the label cannot be marked on the product due to the limitation of product volume, shape, surface material or function, the carrier of the label can also be a paper manual, instruction CD/DVD or packaging.
