China ROHS Introduction

China RoHS refers to the nationally promoted RoHS, which refers to the voluntary certification of electronic information product pollution control. On February 28, 2006, the "Administrative Measures on Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products" (hereinafter referred to as the "Administrative Measures") was formally promulgated and took effect on March 1, 2007. The "Administrative Measures" determines the use of catalog management for the control of six toxic and hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) contained in electronic information products. Progressively prohibit or restrict its use. In order to cooperate with the effective implementation and implementation of the relevant work in the "Administrative Measures", "Implementation Opinions on Voluntary Certification of Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products by the State" and "Implementation Rules of Voluntary Certification of Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products by the State" have been issued successively. The "Implementation Rules" clearly stipulates the certification standards and technical specifications.

Authentication mode

Mode 1: Type test + supervision after certification [applicable parts and components products, materials products]

Mode 2: Sampling test + post-certification supervision [applicable parts and components products]

Mode 3: Optimization test + post-certification supervision [applicable to whole machine products and component products]

Mode 4: Sampling test + initial factory inspection + post-certification supervision [all products within the scope of applicable rules]

Test items

· Lead (Pb) ≤0.1%

· Cadmium (Cd) ≤0.01%

· Mercury (Hg) ≤0.1%

· Hexavalent chromium Cr(VI)≤0.1%

· Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) ≤0.1%

· Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) ≤0.1%

Applicable product range

The first batch of products included in the catalogue of nationally promoted voluntary certification products include:

· Complete products of computers, televisions, mobile user terminals and telephones

· Capacitors, resistors, electronic tubes and other parts and components products

· Mouse, keyboard, hard disk and other component products

· PCB board, ink and other electronic material products

application process

1. Certification application

2. Certification acceptance

3. Document review

4. Sample testing

5. Factory inspection (only factory inspection is required in Mode 4)

6. Conformity assessment

7. Certification fees

8. Certificate issuance

Benefits of China RoHS certification

The Implementation Opinions on Voluntary Certification of Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products by the National Government clearly states that the CNCA and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology should take measures to encourage and support producers, sellers, and importers of electronic information products in their production, Sales and imports of electronic information products apply for nationally promoted pollution control certification, including, for example, reduction and exemption of waste electrical appliances and electronic products treatment fund collection for products that meet the nationally promoted voluntary pollution control certification and related certified enterprises, and priority inclusion in government procurement plans, Promote international mutual recognition and the adoption of compulsory certification for the results of the nationally promoted RoHS certification.
