The Standard Process and Key Points for RoHS Testing Required for Exporting Electronic Products to the EU Are as Follows
explicitly regulated by the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU).
-Applicable voltage range: AC ≤ 1000V, DC ≤ 1500V.
2. Preparation of technical documents
-Required materials: circuit schematic, product manual, BOM table (including all component material information).
-Sample requirements:
-Provide 2-3 complete bulk samples;
-Splitting by material: Metal components (such as solder joints and shells) and non-metal components (such as substrates and plastic parts) need to be separated;
-Sample weight requirements: 5-10g for metal materials, 10-30g for plastic/coating materials (depending on the testing items).
2、 Testing implementation process
1. Choose a certification body
-It is necessary to identify third-party laboratories with ISO 17025 qualifications.
2. Inspection and testing items
-Testing items and limits [[6] ()] [[10] ()]:
|Harmful substances | Limit value (ppm)
|Cadmium (Cd) | ≤ 100
|Lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, etc. | ≤ 1000
|4 types of phthalates | ≤ 1000
-Testing method:
-Metal components: XRF scanning (rapid screening);
-Non metallic components: GC-MS/HPLC (precise chemical analysis).
3. Laboratory testing cycle
-The regular process takes 3-5 working days, while complex samples may take up to 7 days.
3、 Certification and Compliance Stage
1. Reports and Certificates
-Obtain RoHS test report after passing the test, including sample data and compliance conclusion;
-RoHS compliance certificate can be applied for (not mandatory, but beneficial for market recognition).
2. Technical documentation and CE marking
-Prepare technical documents (including test reports, design drawings, and compliance statements);
-Add CE mark to the product (RoHS 2.0 mandatory requirement).
3. Continuous compliance management
-Re testing is required when there are changes in materials/processes;
-It is recommended to conduct an annual supply chain review to ensure compliance of raw materials.
4、 Common Problems and Costs
-Cost reference:
The basic testing fee is approximately ¥ 40 per sheet (priced by material quantity).
-High frequency failure point:
-Hexavalent chromium (coating treatment process);
-Phthalate esters (plastic cables/connectors).
