When electric irons are exported to the EU market, they need to undergo ROHS testing to ensure that they comply with EU environmental requirements. ROHS testing mainly restricts specific hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products, including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) etc. According to the EU RoHS 2.0 directive (2011/65/EU), the content of these substances must not exceed specified limits.
The steps for ROHS testing of electric irons usually include the following stages:
1. Preliminary preparation: Understand the requirements of the ROHS directive, select an appropriate testing agency, and prepare samples.
2. Submit application: Submit ROHS testing application to the testing agency, fill in the application form and provide product-related information, such as product instructions, material list, etc.
3. Sample testing: The testing agency will test the electric iron samples according to RoHS standards to analyze whether they contain the above harmful substances.
4. Report generation: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a detailed test report, listing the content of various hazardous substances, and determining whether it complies with RoHS standards.
5. Certificate issuance: If the test results meet the requirements of the RoHS directive, the testing agency will issue a ROHS test certificate.
6. Follow-up management: After obtaining the RoHS certificate, it needs to be properly kept and presented to EU customs when the product is exported. At the same time, if product design or materials change, retesting may be required.
It should be noted that the specific items and limits of ROHS testing may vary due to certification agencies, standard updates, and regional differences. Before conducting ROHS testing, it is recommended to contact a professional certification agency or laboratory to learn more about the relevant testing requirements and procedures. In addition, the European Union may update its restricted list of hazardous substances based on new research and evaluation results, so it is also very important to stay aware of the latest regulations.
