Cardboard exports to the EU require ROHS testing and certification. The ROHS directive requires the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment to ensure that they do not cause harm to the environment and human health during use. As a packaging material, cardboard also needs to comply with relevant regulations.



Cardboard exports to the EU need to undergo corresponding testing and certification and obtain a test report. The following is the general process for processing cardboard export test reports to the EU:

1. Select a testing agency: Choose a testing agency that is accredited by the EU. You can check the list of accredited testing agencies through the EU official website or relevant industry associations.

2. Submit application: Submit an application to the selected testing agency and provide corresponding samples and information, such as product instructions, technical specifications, quality management system documents, etc.

3. Testing and evaluation: The testing agency will conduct corresponding testing and evaluation on the submitted samples, including testing of physical properties, chemical properties, hygienic performance, etc., and conduct evaluations in accordance with relevant EU regulations and standards.

4. Prepare a test report: The testing agency prepares a test report based on the test results. The report needs to include test items, test methods, test results, evaluation conclusions, etc., and must be stamped with the official seal and certification mark of the testing agency.

5. Audit and certification: The test report needs to be audited and certified by a certification agency to ensure that it meets the requirements of relevant EU regulations and standards. The audit and certification agency will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the test report and issue the corresponding certification.

6. Send test reports and certificates: The audit and certification agency will send the test reports and certificates to the applicant company or its authorized representative, and the applicant company can use them for product export and customs clearance and other related procedures.



Cardboard EU ROHS testing cycle
