Mouse and keyboard need to undergo RoHS testing before entering the EU market 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 following are the general steps for RoHS testing:
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. These harmful substances include lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), di(2-ethyl phthalate) Hexyl) ester (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).
2. Prepare samples: Prepare mouse and keyboard 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 mouse and keyboard meets the requirements of the RoHS directive, and issue a test report.
Through RoHS testing, you can ensure that the mouse and keyboard will not cause pollution to the environment during manufacturing and use, while protecting the health and safety of consumers. Products that comply with the RoHS directive can successfully enter the EU market for sale. If the product test fails, the sample needs to be rectified (such as replacing raw materials) and retested until it passes the test. After the product passes the RoHS test, you 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.
