：【question】 Visits：
The RoHS directive is an EU directive that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment. For game console testing, you need to fill in the RoHS certification application form and prepare product pictures and BOM sheets (bill of materials) so that the testing agency can understand the specific composition of the product and the materials used.
1. Application and quotation
Submit application materials:
Submit the completed application form, product pictures and BOM form to the certification agency or testing agency.
Determine the cost of testing:
The testing agency will determine the testing fee based on the materials provided, the complexity of the product and other factors.
The cost usually ranges from a few hundred to thousands of yuan, and the specific price needs to be determined based on the actual situation.
Sign the agreement and pay the fees:
After confirming the quotation, the customer signs an application form and service agreement with the testing agency, and pays the full project fee.
2. Sample preparation and testing
Prepare the test sample:
Customers need to prepare test samples in accordance with the requirements of the testing agency and ensure that the samples are representative.
Mail samples:
Mail the prepared test samples to the testing agency.
To test:
After the testing agency receives the sample, it will be tested in accordance with the requirements of the RoHS directive. Testing content usually includes detecting the content of harmful substances such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the product.
3. Report issuance and mailing
The report is issued by:
After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a RoHS test report. If the product complies with the requirements of the RoHS directive, the report will indicate that the product has passed RoHS testing.
Reports are mailed to:
The testing agency will mail the paper version of the test report to the customer. At the same time, customers can also request electronic reports.
4. Follow-up processing
Unqualified treatment:
If the product test fails, the customer needs to rectify the sample (such as replacing raw materials) and retest until it passes the test.
Certificates and labels:
After the product passes the RoHS test, customers can apply for a RoHS certification certificate as needed and attach a RoHS label to the product to prove that the product meets the requirements of the EU RoHS directive.
Things to note
The entire RoHS testing process usually takes 5-7 working days, but the specific time may vary depending on factors such as the efficiency of the testing agency and the complexity of the sample.
When customers choose a testing agency, they should choose an authoritative and professional one to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the testing results.
When preparing application materials, be sure to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of all information to avoid affecting the issuance of test results and the acquisition of certificates.
