If the inflatable boat is equipped with electronic components or electrical systems, it does need to undergo EU ROHS testing. This is because the ROHS directive mainly restricts hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. The ROHS directive focuses on the content of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment to ensure that these equipment have as little impact on the environment as possible during manufacturing, use and disposal.



What is the ROHS testing process for inflatable boats?

1. Submit the application form: The first step in applying for ROHS testing is to submit the relevant application form.

2. Quotation and agreement: The third-party testing agency will provide a quotation, and both parties will reach a testing agreement based on the quotation and pay the corresponding fees in accordance with the agreement.

3. Mail samples: After payment is completed, the applicant needs to mail the inflatable boat samples to a third-party testing agency.

4. Arrange testing matters: After receiving the samples, the testing agency will arrange corresponding ROHS testing matters.

5. Determination of test results: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue the test results to determine whether the inflatable boat has passed the ROHS test.

6. Mail the report: Finally, the testing agency will mail the test report to the applicant, and the testing process ends.



What aspects of inflatable boats does the ROHS directive have requirements for?

1. Electronic components and materials: If the inflatable boat contains any electronic components, such as control circuit boards, electric air pumps, etc., the materials used in these components must not contain the six hazardous substances restricted by the ROHS directive: lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).

2. Electrical system: The electrical system on the inflatable boat, such as batteries and cables, must also comply with the requirements of the ROHS directive. This means they cannot contain excessive amounts of harmful substances and must comply with relevant environmental regulations during the manufacturing process.

3. Outer packaging and auxiliary materials: In addition to electronic components and electrical systems, the outer packaging of the inflatable boat and other supporting auxiliary materials (such as instructions, warranty cards, etc.) may also need to comply with the requirements of the ROHS directive, especially when these When the material contains electronic components or uses specific plastics, inks, etc.
