California RoHS, formally known as the California Electronic Waste Recycling and Reuse Act, is a regulation aimed at reducing harmful substances in electronic products. It stipulates restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic products to protect the environment and human health. These harmful substances mainly include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
What testing items are required for California ROHS:
1. Hazardous substance content detection: This is the core content of California RoHS testing, which mainly conducts quantitative analysis of hazardous substances restricted in electronic products. These harmful substances include heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), as well as brominated flame retardants such as polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). The testing agency will use professional analysis methods and equipment to ensure that the content of these substances complies with the restrictions of the California RoHS Directive.
2. Elemental content analysis: In addition to testing for hazardous substances, California RoHS testing also includes quantitative analysis of various elements in the product. This is mainly to determine whether the product contains other elements that may pose potential threats to human health and the environment, such as copper, iron, zinc, etc.
3. Coating thickness test: For the surface coating of electronic products, California RoHS testing will also measure it. This is to ensure that the thickness of the coating meets relevant standards and requirements and to avoid affecting the performance and safety of the product due to a coating that is too thin or too thick.
4. Packaging material analysis: California RoHS testing will also test the materials in product packaging. This is mainly to determine whether packaging materials contain hazardous substances with restricted use to ensure that the entire life cycle of the product meets environmental protection requirements.
