As information technology and telecommunications equipment, keyboards and mice need to undergo RoHS testing before being sold in the EU to ensure that they comply with the requirements of the Directive on Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment. The main purpose of RoHS testing is to limit the content of certain harmful substances used in electronic and electrical equipment to protect human health and the environment.
The RoHS testing process usually includes the following steps:
1. Understand the requirements of the RoHS Directive: First, you need to understand the specific requirements of the RoHS Directive, including the types of restricted substances and maximum concentration limits.
2. Prepare samples: Prepare keyboard and mouse samples that need to be tested, and ensure that they comply with the scope of application of the RoHS directive.
3. Select a detection method: According to the type of restricted substances and sample characteristics, select an appropriate detection method, such as ion chromatography, atomic absorption method, etc.
4. Conduct experimental testing: In a laboratory environment, the samples are tested according to the selected method, including sample pretreatment, analysis and measurement, and result calculation.
5. Result evaluation and reporting: Based on the experimental results, evaluate whether the content of restricted substances in the keyboard and mouse meets the requirements of the RoHS directive, and issue a test report.
RoHS testing requires that electronic and electrical equipment must not contain hazardous substances exceeding specified limits. These hazardous substances include lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated biphenyls, Phenyl ethers (PBDEs), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and phthalic acid Diisobutyl ester (DIBP).
Through RoHS testing, you can ensure that keyboards and mice will not cause pollution to the environment during manufacturing and use, while protecting the health and safety of consumers. Keyboards and mice that comply with the RoHS directive can successfully enter the EU market for sale.
