Plastic scrapers do need to undergo ROHS testing when exported to the EU. ROHS testing mainly focuses on the limits of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products to ensure that these products will not cause harm to human health and the environment during use.
The scope of ROHS testing is wide, covering electronics, electrical appliances, medical, communications, toys, security information and other products, including not only complete machine products, but also parts, raw materials and packaging used in the production of complete machines. For products such as plastic scrapers, ROHS testing mainly includes the following items:
1. Hazardous substance content detection: This is the core content of ROHS testing. It mainly conducts quantitative analysis on the ten harmful substances (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) restricted in the RoHS standard to ensure that their concentration meets the specified limit requirements. The presence of these harmful substances in electronic products may pose potential threats to human health and the environment.
2. Element content analysis: In addition to harmful substances, ROHS testing will also conduct quantitative analysis of other elements (such as copper, iron, zinc, etc.) in the product to determine whether their content meets regulations. This helps ensure the overall quality and safety of the product.
3. Coating thickness test: If there is a coating on the surface of the plastic scraper, ROHS testing will also measure the thickness of the coating to ensure that it meets the requirements. The presence of coatings may affect the performance and safety of the product and therefore requires rigorous testing.
4. Packaging material analysis: In addition, ROHS testing will also test the materials in product packaging to determine whether there are restricted substances. This helps ensure that products do not pollute the environment during transportation and use.
The general process for conducting ROHS testing includes providing samples, selecting a testing agency, conducting tests, evaluating test results, and issuing a ROHS test report. Products that pass ROHS testing can obtain ROHS certification, which is one of the necessary conditions for entering the EU market. Therefore, it is very important to conduct ROHS testing for plastic scraper products planned to be exported to the EU.
