ROHS2.0 instruction authentication

Introduction to the ROHS Directive



   
  RoHS is a mandatory standard formulated by the European Union legislation, its full name is the Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). The standard has been officially implemented on July 1, 2006, mainly used to regulate the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products, so that it is more conducive to human health and environmental protection. The purpose of the standard is to eliminate lead Pb, isolated Cd, mercury Hg, hexvalent chromium Cr6+, polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB in electrical and electronic products, a total of 6 substances, and focus on the content of lead can not exceed 0.1%. On June 4, 2015, the European side officially listed Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), tolyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) in the list of restricted substances in Appendix II, so far a total of ten mandatory controlled substances in Appendix II. It became mandatory on July 22, 2019.

The latest European ROHS2.0 directive
 On June 4, 2015, the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) issued the revised RoHS2.0 Directive (EU)2015/863, which officially listed DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP in the list of restricted substances in Appendix II, so far there are ten mandatory controlled substances in Appendix II. See the following table:

Limited substance limit (mass fraction)
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->

<!--[if !supportLists]-->① <!--[endif]-->Lead (Pb) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->② <!--[endif]-->Mercury (Hg) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->③ <!--[endif]-->Cadmium (Cd) 0.01%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->④ <!--[endif]-->Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->⑤ <!--[endif]-->Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->⑥ <!--[endif]-->Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->⑦ <!--[endif]-->Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->⑧ <!--[endif]-->Tolyl butyl phthalate (BBP) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->⑨ <!--[endif]-->Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) 0.1%

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->⑩ <!--[endif]-->Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) 0.1%

 

  Following the publication of this revised Directive, EU Member States have until 31 December 2016 to transpose this Directive into national legislation and implement it. And from July 22, 2019, all electronic and electrical products exported to Europe (except medical and monitoring equipment) must meet the restriction requirements; From July 22, 2021, medical devices (including in vitro medical devices) and monitoring equipment (including industrial monitoring equipment) will also be included in the scope of the control. In addition, toys that are already controlled by phthalates in Article 51 of Annex XVII of REACH will not be controlled by DEHP, BBP and DBP in this Directive.


Prepare ROHS test and certification documents  
1). Only heavy metal detection: about 5-10g for solids and 5-10mL for liquids;

2). Only brominated flame retardants should be tested: about 10-20g for solids and 10-20mL for liquids;

3). Heavy metal shipping organic pollutants detection: provide about 20-30g samples;

4). Test for other organic pollutants: provide samples of about 30g;

5). Only the sample of the coating (coating) part shall be detected, and the approximate weight of the material part of the coating (coating) shall be indicated; If the weight of the coating (coating) part does not meet the requirements of the sample quantity, the coating (coating) raw materials should be provided.
 
 
ROHS factory inspection


No factory inspection is required, but generally RoHS will require a one-year validity period. In fact, the RoHS test report itself is only based on the analysis of the product, as long as your product material, production process and process are unchanged, the test report can be effective for a long time.
 
ROHS covers a range of products

 
RoHS targets all electrical and electronic products that may contain the above six hazardous substances in the production process and raw materials, mainly including:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1)      <!--[endif]-->Large household appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, white appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, etc

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2)      <!--[endif]-->Small household appliances: vacuum cleaners, electric irons, hair dryers, ovens, clocks, etc., black appliances, such as audio and video products, DVD, CD, TV receivers, IT products, digital products, communication products, etc.
