Electronic game consoles, also known as video games and electric games, are a kind of game entertainment equipment that uses electronic instruments. Electronic game consoles entering the EU market need to undergo ROHS testing and obtain corresponding certifications. If electronic game consoles want to enter the EU market, they need to meet the requirements of the EU RoHS directive, which restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.



EU RoHS Testing and Certification Guidelines for Electronic Game Consoles:

1. Understand the restricted substances and limit requirements of the RoHS directive. The RoHS directive restricts the use of harmful heavy metals such as lead Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury Hg, hexavalent chromium Cr6+, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electronic and electrical products. The limit requirements are that lead Pb does not exceed 0.1%, cadmium Cd does not exceed 0.01%, mercury Hg does not exceed 0.1%, hexavalent chromium Cr6+ does not exceed 0.1%, polybrominated biphenyl PBB does not exceed 0.1%, and polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE does not exceed 0.1 %.

2. Prepare samples. According to the requirements of the RoHS directive, the removable parts of electronic game consoles (such as batteries, plastic casings, etc.) and the overall product need to be tested separately. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare detachable parts and overall products of electronic game consoles as test samples.

3. Choose an appropriate testing agency. You can choose a testing institution with RoHS testing qualifications for testing.

4. Fill out the application form and submit samples. Submit the detachable parts and overall product samples of the electronic game console to the testing agency and fill out the RoHS Directive application form.

5. Wait for the test results. The testing agency will test the samples and issue a RoHS test report. If the test results meet the requirements of the RoHS directive, you can obtain RoHS certification.

6. Products that comply with the requirements of the RoHS directive can enter the EU market. It should be noted that there may be some differences in the implementation of the RoHS directive in different countries and regions, so you need to pay attention to the specific requirements of the local market.
