The EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) stipulates requirements for restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. To apply for EU RoHS testing, you need to follow the following steps:
1. Confirm product classification: Determine whether your product falls within the control scope of the RoHS directive. This typically includes electronic and electrical equipment such as household appliances, information technology equipment, consumer electronics, lighting equipment, etc.
2. Product testing: Carry out necessary chemical tests to confirm whether the content of hazardous substances in the product meets the requirements of the RoHS directive. Testing usually requires relying on accredited laboratories, such as third-party testing agencies such as SGS.
3. Preparation of technical documents: Prepare technical documents including test reports, product instructions, raw material information, etc. These documents will serve as the basis for applying for certification.
4. Apply for certification: Select the appropriate certification body or authorized representative, submit the application to it and pay the relevant fees. Detailed product information and technical documents may be required during the application process.
5. Evaluation and certification: The certification body will evaluate the submitted technical documents and test reports to confirm whether the product meets the requirements of the RoHS directive. If complied, a RoHS compliance certificate will be issued.
6. Attach a CE mark: According to the RoHS 2.0 directive, products need to affix a CE mark and a corresponding statement of conformity.
7. Continuous compliance: The design and materials of your products may change as technology advances and regulations are updated, so you need to regularly review and update your products' RoHS compliance.
When applying for RoHS certification, it is recommended to cooperate with professional legal advisors or certification consulting agencies to ensure that the application process proceeds smoothly and certification is effectively passed. They can provide you with the necessary legal advice and technical support so that your products can sell well in the European market.
