RoHS certification is a mandatory standard formulated by EU legislation. Its full name is the Restriction of Hazardous Substances, which has been officially implemented since July 1, 2006. It is mainly used to regulate the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products, making them more conducive to human health and environmental protection. The standard aims to eliminate six substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic products, and emphatically stipulates that the content of lead shall not exceed 0.1%. The seller of electronic and electrical products in the EU should have this RoHS test.

Purpose of ROHS certification:

Carry out ROHS test on the product and pass the test, which can be freely sold in the European Union;If no ROHS test is carried out for the products, and harmful substances or excessive substances are detected, they will be seriously treated, or even the products will be destroyed, which is very unfavorable to the enterprise and will cause customers to lose trust in them;Products with ROHS logo can enhance market competitiveness, and EU regulations are also very strict. Customers trust more products with logos, which can enhance purchasing power;Increase the market share of products;In fact, ROHS testing is not only a guarantee of product safety, but also a responsibility for users.

Applicable scope of EU ROHS certification:

The scope of RoHS directive covers the electronic and electrical products listed in the catalog below AC1000V and DC1500V:

1. Large household appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, etc;

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

3. IT and communication instruments: computer, fax machine, telephone, mobile phone, etc;

4. Civil devices: radio, television, video recorder, musical instrument, etc;

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

6. Electric tools: electric drill, lathe, welding, spray, etc;

7. Toys/entertainment, sports equipment: electric vehicles, video game machines, automata, etc;

8. Medical instruments: radiotherapy instrument, ECG tester, analytical instrument, etc;

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

10. Vending machine;

It includes not only the complete machine products, but also the parts used to produce the complete machine. Raw materials and packaging are related to the entire production chain.

The above is the EU ROHS certification and testing related content compiled by the Core Trauma Testing Division, and I hope it will be helpful to you. Our company has a team of professional engineers and industry elites, and has built three standardized laboratories with an area of more than 1800 square meters, which can undertake a variety of test projects such as electronic component test verification, IC authenticity identification, product design material selection, failure analysis, functional testing, factory incoming material inspection and tape weaving.
