RoHS is a mandatory standard formulated by EU legislation. Its full name is the restriction of hazardous substances. The standard has been officially implemented since July 1, 2006. It is mainly used to standardize the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products, so as to make it more conducive to human health and environmental protection.

The purpose of this standard is to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (Note: the correct Chinese name of PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers are wrong) in electrical and electronic products, and focuses on the requirement that the content of cadmium should not exceed 0.01%.

zone of application

There are 27 EU Member States: Britain (which withdrew from the EU in 2016), France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Romania.

Products involved

It mainly includes: daily household appliances, such as refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, air conditioner, vacuum cleaner, water heater, etc; And home appliances, such as audio and video products, DVD, CD, TV receiver, it products, digital products, communication products, etc.

Power tools, electric electronic toys, medical electrical equipment, electricity used, including small and large household appliances, it and telecommunications equipment and consumer goods, such as radios, televisions, cameras and sound systems.

EU ROHS 1.0: in 2006, EU legislation formulated 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 in electronic and electrical products: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

EU ROHS 2.0: in 2015, the EU issued directive (EU) 2015 / 863 in its official gazette to revise Annex II of RoHS 2.0 (2011 / 65 / EU), 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 directive is issued, EU member states need to translate the directive into national laws and regulations and implement it before December 31, 2016.

Guotui RoHS: according to the provisions of the implementation arrangement of the conformity assessment system for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (hereinafter referred to as the implementation arrangement) issued by the State Administration of market supervision and the Ministry of industry and information technology in No. 23 announcement of 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the implementation arrangement), the products listed in the Management Catalogue for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (the first batch) delivered and imported after November 1, 2019 shall meet the requirements of the implementation arrangement.

Control scope

All electronic, electrical, medical, communication, toys, security information and other products include not only the whole machine products, but also the parts, raw materials and packaging used in the production of the whole machine, which is related to the whole production chain

Test principle

Split the product according to the material, and detect the harmful substances with different materials. In general:

Lead / cadmium / cadmium / six metals (such as Hg + CR);

In addition to these four harmful heavy metal elements, brominated flame retardants (polybrominated biphenyls PBB / polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDE) should also be tested for plastic materials

EU ROHS 1.0

Guotui RoHS lead (PB) additive, package, Wangke stabilizer and Sinochem, dyestuff, Yanke, welding, electronic ceramics, glass parts, battery raw materials, XRF mercury (Hg) battery, lamp, preservative, catalyst, pigment, electricity, plastic products, XRF cadmium (CD) pool, photo materials, surface treatment materials, solder, paint, dye, electronic ceramics XRF hexavalent chromium (Cr6 +) electroplating solution, rust inhibitor, tanning, battery, catalyst Preservatives, pigments and other XRF + boiling polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) flame retardants exist in plastics GC-MS polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants exist in plastics GC-MS

EU ROHS 2.0

Add items: diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP) is used as plasticizer for plastic materials (plastics, inks, etc.), GC-MS bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) plasticizer, GC-MS dibutyl phthalate (DBP) plasticizer for plastic materials (plastics, inks, etc.), GC-MS butyl phthalate (BBP) plasticizer for plastic materials (Plastics, inks, etc.), For plastic materials (plastic, oil black, etc.) GC-MS
