EU RoHS Hazardous Electronic Camera Test Report

Electronic cameras fall under the category of "Information Technology and Communication Equipment" regulated by the EU RoHS Directive. Compliance is mandatory for products entering the EU market, requiring a RoHS hazardous substance testing report to prove compliance with environmental standards. The following is a summary of key information:
I. Testing Basis and Items
To comply with the EU RoHS 2.0 Directive (2011/65/EU) and its amendment (EU) 2015/863, 10 hazardous substances must be tested:
1. Six Basic Controlled Substances:
Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), all with limits ≤0.1% (1000ppm)
Cadmium (Cd), limit ≤0.01% (100ppm)
2. Four new phthalate esters have been added:
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), each with a limit of ≤0.1% (1000ppm).
II. Testing Standards
The main standards adopted are the IEC 62321 series, corresponding to the testing methods for different substances:
IEC 62321-1/-2: Decomposition, Sample Preparation and Definition of Homogenized Materials
IEC 62321-3-1: Detection of Heavy Metals (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium)
IEC 62321-4: Detection of Hexavalent Chromium
IEC 62321-5: Detection of Polybrominated Biphenyls/Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers
IEC 62321-7-2: Detection of Phthalate Esters
III. Application Process
1. 1. Document and Sample Preparation:
Provide the electronic camera model, Bill of Materials (BOM), product manual, etc.
Samples for Testing: 1-2 complete units, or samples of disassembled homogeneous materials (e.g., plastic casing, circuit boards, metal parts, etc., 50-100g per material).
2. Institution Selection and Quotation: Select a third-party testing institution with CNAS/CMA accreditation or EU recognition. The institution will provide testing fees based on the quantity of materials.
3. Testing and Report Issuance:
After signing the service agreement and paying the fee, the laboratory will test each homogeneous material individually.
A formal RoHS test report will be issued within 5-7 working days after the test is passed. The report must include the core information such as the test items, limits, and result interpretation.
IV. Report Validity and Precautions
1. Validity Period:
The report itself has no official expiration date. If the materials, manufacturing process, and raw material suppliers of the electronic camera remain unchanged, the report is valid indefinitely.
The industry generally defaults to a validity period of one year. Some EU buyers require reports to be issued within 3-6 months; the specific timeframe depends on the buyer's requirements. If RoHS standards are updated, retesting is required to comply with the new regulations.
2. Compliance Requirements:
All homogeneous materials in the electronic camera must be tested separately to ensure that each component meets the limit requirements.
After the product is launched, the test report and related technical documents must be retained for at least 10 years for potential inspections by EU regulatory agencies.
When affixing the CE mark, the electronic camera must simultaneously comply with RoHS 2.0 and the LVD (Low Voltage Directive) and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) directives.
