Guide to Obtaining a RoHS Test Report for Small Audio Speakers in China
Small audio speakers (such as Bluetooth speakers, portable speakers, smart speakers, etc.) fall under the "Audio and Video Equipment" category controlled by China RoHS. RoHS test reports are required for both export and domestic sales.
I. Confirming the Scope of Product Control
As electrical and electronic products, small audio speakers must comply with the "Regulations on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" when manufactured, sold, or imported into China. Before obtaining a test report, you need to confirm:
Whether the product contains electronic components, circuit boards, plastic casings, etc.
Whether the product falls within the scope of China RoHS
Compliance requirements of the target market (China's RoHS voluntary certification or self-declaration)
II. Selecting a Testing Institution
It is recommended to choose a third-party testing laboratory with the following qualifications:
CMA Accreditation (China Metrology Accreditation)
CNAS Accreditation (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Possessing RoHS testing capabilities and experience
A list of qualified testing institutions can be found on the website of the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China.
III. Preparing Application Materials
Before processing the test report, the following materials must be provided to the testing agency:
| Material Name | Description
| Product Manual | Includes product model and functional description
| Bill of Materials (BOM) | Lists all raw materials and components
| Product Sample | A representative sample must be provided for testing
| Circuit Diagram | Facilitates analysis of electronic component composition
| Packaging Information | Confirms whether packaging materials need to be tested simultaneously
IV. Conducting Hazardous Substance Testing
The testing agency will test the product according to national standards. The main testing items include:
1. Lead (Pb) — Limit: ≤1000mg/kg
2. Mercury (Hg) — Limit: ≤1000mg/kg
3. Cadmium (Cd) — Limit: ≤100mg/kg
4. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) — Limit: ≤1000mg/kg
5. Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs) — Limit: ≤1000mg/kg
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) — Limit: ≤1000mg/kg
The testing method typically follows GB/T 26125-2011 (equivalent to IEC 62321).
V. Obtaining the Test Report
After testing, the testing organization will issue a formal RoHS test report, which typically includes:
Product information and sample description
Testing methods and applicable standards
Test results for each hazardous substance
Compliance determination conclusion
Companies can use this report for self-declaration or apply for the national RoHS voluntary certification.
VI. Processing Time and Fee Reference
| Item | Reference Scope
| Processing Time | 5-7 working days (depending on product complexity)
| Testing Fee | 800-2000 RMB (depending on material type and sample quantity)
