What is the ROHS certification test standard? What's the point?

RoHS directive originated in the European Union, with the rise of the production and use of electrical and electronic products (also known as EEE). Hazardous substances (such as lead and cadmium) may be released during the use, treatment and disposal of environmental electrical equipment, resulting in serious environmental and health problems. RoHS helps prevent such problems. It limits the existence of specific hazardous substances in electrical products, and safer substitutes can replace these substances.

RoHS compliant

All quasi products are marked with ROHS mark on the data sheet, which fully complies with the RoHS directive defined below.

EU directive 2002/95 / EC Restriction on hazardous substances (RoHS) is a "single market" directive, which restricts certain hazardous substances by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in the manufacturing process, so as to reduce the impact of EEE (Electrical and electronic equipment) on the environment. Some equipment is duty-free, and compliance with RoHS directive standards needs to be completed before july1,2006.

All electronic equipment contains hazardous substances to a certain extent, including some or all of the following; Lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, cadmium and bromide with the increasing popularity of electronic equipment and its short life cycle, more and more such equipment enter the landfill, hoping to limit the amount of harmful substances that can accumulate for the benefit of the environment.

Why does the product need to comply with ROHS standards? What's the point?

There are many reasons why the company complies with ROHS standards. The first reason is that there are laws and regulations requiring the company to comply with ROHS standards. If a company does not comply with ROHS standards, it may face fines or penalties. Another reason why the company must comply with the RoHS specification is that it can help the company reduce its impact on the environment. RoHS compliance means that the company uses fewer hazardous materials, which can reduce waste and emissions. RoHS compliance can help companies improve their image among customers. Customers are more and more interested in the company's environmental protection practices and compliance with ROHS standards.

Since 2006, all electrical products sold in the EU market must pass the RoHS compliance test. The RoHS directive covers all products from kitchen appliances (such as toasters and refrigerators) to mobile phones, laptops and lighting devices. It does not distinguish between EEE for consumer use and EEE for professional and industrial use.

Therefore, if you manufacture, import or distribute goods covered by this directive, the content of hazardous substances in the products shall not exceed the allowable level. As an economic party, you need to identify hazardous substances in products and find suitable substitutes where possible. If the latter cannot be achieved, the exemption from the rule must be checked. In addition, you need to ensure that your supplier CE certifies the components they provide.
