Computer hosts need to undergo EU RoHS testing. RoHS is the abbreviation of the Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic and Electrical Equipment. It is an environmental protection standard set by the European Union for electronic and electrical products. The directive requires manufacturers to restrict the use of six hazardous substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)) to reduce the impact of these substances on the environment and human health. Since the implementation of the RoHS Directive, it has been revised many times to more strictly regulate the environmental protection requirements of electronic and electrical products.
For electronic and electrical products such as computer hosts, if they plan to be exported to the EU market, they must comply with the requirements of the RoHS Directive. This means that manufacturers need to test their products to ensure that they do not contain harmful substances or that their levels are below specified limits.
The specific process of RoHS testing usually includes the following steps:
1. Material preparation: Collect material composition data of product components to ensure that they do not contain excessive harmful substances.
2. Testing and analysis: Products are tested in accredited laboratories. The main methods include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, chemical analysis, etc. to determine the content of harmful substances.
3. Technical documents: Prepare technical documents, including test reports, material declarations and product design documents, etc.
4. Conformity assessment: Conduct internal conformity assessment or entrust a third-party agency to conduct assessment to ensure that products comply with RoHS requirements.
5. Declaration and labeling: The manufacturer signs a Declaration of Conformity and affixes the corresponding logo on the product to indicate that the product complies with RoHS requirements.
RoHS testing cycle takes 5 to 7 working days
