RoHS Certificate

RoHS is the short title of The restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, its provisions, in electrical and electronic products, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polybrominated biphenyls, etc. harmful heavy metals, the European Union from July 1, 2006 will prohibit the import.

1 What is RoHS?
RoHS is the "electrical, electronic equipment, restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive" (the Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) abbreviation. rohs certification, also known as environmental certification is in line with European standards.

2, which refers to harmful substances?
A total of six hazardous substances listed in RoHS, including: lead Pb, cadmium Cd, Hg Hg, hexavalent chromium, Cr6 +, PBDE PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB.
RoHS directive restricting the use of the following six hazardous substances
1, mercury (Hg) to use the material examples: temperature controller, sensor, switches and relays, light bulbs
2, lead to use of the substance of the example: solder, glass, PVC stabilizer
3, examples of use of the substance Cadmium: Switches, springs, connectors, casing and PCB, contact, battery
4, chromium (VI) examples of the use of the material: metal attached corrosion coating
5, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) example of the use of the material: flame retardant, PCB, connectors, plastic shell
6, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) example of the use of the material: flame retardant, PCB, connectors, plastic shell

3, why introduce RoHS?
First noted that electrical and electronic equipment contains heavy metals harmful to human health in a group of 2000 Dutch cable market of game found in Cd. In fact, the electrical and electronic products are currently widely used in the production of solder, packaging printing inks contain harmful heavy metals such as lead.

4, when the implementation of RoHS?
The EU will be July 1, 2006 implementation of RoHS, when using or containing heavy metals and polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB and other flame retardants in electrical and electronic products will not be allowed to enter the EU market.

5, RoHS specifically related to those product?
RoHS for all production processes and materials may contain six hazardous substances in the electrical and electronic products, including: white appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, black appliances, such as audio, video products , DVD, CD, TV receiver, IT products, digital products, communication products; power tools, electric and electronic toys, medical electrical equipment

6, the progress of the current RoHS?
Some large companies have begun to take note and respond RoHS measures, such as SONY's digital cameras have a statement in the box: This product is lead-free soldering; lead-free ink.
Ministry of Information Industry in 2004 also introduced the "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Regulations," the content and RoHS similar, and in October set up the "Electronic Information Product Pollution Control Standards Working Group" to study and establish the national conditions of China's electronic information products prevention and control standard system; conduct and Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Standards and the revised system, in particular an urgent need to speed up the formulation of industrial materials, processes, terminology, test methods and test methods and other basic criteria.

7, RoHS Electronics Industry of China
According to China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association, the latest data, the first quarter of 2004, China's export of electromechanical products in China's export share of 55%. The EU has become China's export of electromechanical products in major markets. As Chinese manufacturers more environmentally friendly, and backward technological level, RoHS directive makes the nearly 27 billion U.S. dollars of Chinese machinery and electronic products environmental barriers faced by the EU.
The Chinese government has been the close attention and study countermeasures, the State Council instruct the Ministry of Information Industry is responsible for the EU environmental directives of and response. Ministry of Information under the "Cleaner Production Promotion Law" and "Solid Waste Pollution Prevention Law" and other relevant laws and regulations, "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Measures for the Administration" has been completed and in January 1, 2005 shall come into force.
"Electronic Information Product Pollution Control Regulations," provides, from July 1, 2006, the inclusion of Electronic Information Products Pollution Control directory focused on electronic information products shall not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, brominated polymer diphenyl ether and polymerization of brominated biphenyls and other toxic and harmful substances.
For the July 1, 2006 before the period of time, the Chinese Government requested electronic information product manufacturing makers to toxic hazardous substances in the reduction of production measures, and Jiji search for alternative products.
At the same time, called "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Standards Working Group," the agency has already begun preparations for the establishment of the agency's main task is to study and establish the national conditions of China's electronic information product pollution control standards, conduct and Electronic Information Products Pollution Control research and development of related standards, in particular speed up the development of urgently needed materials, technology, testing methods and experimental approach is based on standards.
Price and non-RoHS RoHS prices (according to the official statement) general difference of 15% to 30%, but generally have to deal with according to their own products for.
8, RoHS certification period
RoHS certification period: 7 days ban hazardous substances RoHS testing standards and methods (test method currently used is the default method of the industry is not mandatory under the European Union)

9, ROHS significance of the implementation of
RoHS Directive and with the WEEE directive significance in promoting environmental conservation.
WEEE is "directive waste electrical and electronic products" (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) abbreviation. The directive by the European Parliament and the Council, EU member states on Aug. 13, 2005 began to enforce. Its main purpose is to prevent waste generation, and then for the convenience of waste for recycling, reuse, remanufacturing, reduce waste of resources.

10, ROHS a state
RoHS EU member states involved in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Poland, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary , Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein

11, ROHS certification test sample preparation
Prior to the submission product manufacturers, the best product in advance censorship on their own detailed separation, packaging, and packaging were marked on each product name and number, in principle, the weight of each component required for the test: Solid 10 -20g liquid 10-20 mg.
