When the mini car charger is sold in the EU market, it needs to comply with the requirements of the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive. The RoHS Directive restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment to protect the environment and consumer health. The following is the relevant information and steps for the mini car charger to undergo EU RoHS testing:
I. Overview of the RoHS Directive
The RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) and its amendment (EU 2015/863) restrict the use of the following hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment:
- Lead (Pb)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
- Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
- Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
- Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
- Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
- Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
II. RoHS testing process
1. Consultation and preparation:
- Contact a third-party testing laboratory to understand the specific requirements and procedures for RoHS testing.
- Provide product information, including product manual, bill of materials (BOM), circuit diagram, etc.
2. Sample preparation:
- Prepare samples that meet the standards, usually multiple samples are required for comprehensive tests.
3. Testing:
- A third-party laboratory conducts relevant tests, including but not limited to:
- Chemical analysis: Use X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) or other chemical analysis methods to detect whether the product contains harmful substances restricted by the RoHS directive.
- Salt spray test: An important method for testing the corrosion resistance of electronic products, simulating corrosion conditions in the actual environment.
- Reliability test: Evaluate the performance of the product under various extreme conditions, including temperature changes, humidity and electrical loads.
4. Report issuance:
- After the test is completed, the laboratory will issue a RoHS test report to prove that the product meets the requirements of the EU RoHS directive.
III. Required information
- Product manual: Describe the functions, uses and specifications of the product in detail.
- Bill of materials (BOM): List all materials and components used in the product.
- Circuit diagram: Provide the circuit design diagram of the product.
- Related test reports that have been conducted: such as salt spray test, reliability test results, etc.
IV. Cooperation with third-party laboratories
It is crucial to choose a reliable third-party testing laboratory for RoHS certification. It is recommended to choose a laboratory with the following conditions:
- Industry qualifications: Have relevant testing qualifications and certifications.
- Rich experience: Have rich RoHS testing experience and expertise.
- Good reputation: Have a good reputation and credibility in the industry.
V. The importance of RoHS certification
- Market access: Products that comply with the RoHS directive can be sold freely in the EU market.
- Environmental protection: Reduce the use of harmful substances, protect the environment and consumer health.
- Enhance brand image: Passing RoHS certification can enhance the competitiveness and brand image of products.
Through the above steps, the mini car charger can successfully complete the EU RoHS test, ensure that the product meets the regulatory requirements of the EU market, and smoothly enter the EU market for sale.
