Procedure for Obtaining a RoHS Test Report for Walkie-Talkies in the EU
Walkie-talkies are classified as communication electronic devices, and exports to the EU must pass RoHS hazardous substance restriction testing. The following is the complete application process:
I. Confirm Applicable Directives and Limits
Walkie-talkies are subject to RoHS 2.0 (Directive 2011/65/EU) + Amended Directive (EU) 2015/863, requiring testing for 10 hazardous substances:
| Hazardous Substance | Limit
| Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | ≤ 1000 ppm
| Cadmium (Cd) | ≤ 100 ppm
| Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) | ≤ 1000 ppm
| Phthalate Esters (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) | ≤ 1000 ppm
II. Application Process (Approximately 5-7 working days)
1. Preliminary Consultation and Institution Selection
Select an institution with CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) and CMA certifications. 1. Qualified Third-Party Testing Organization
DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083
Fill out the testing application form and provide the product manual.
2. Sample and Document Preparation
Sample Quantity: 3-5 complete units + several major components
Technical Documents:
Complete BOM (Bill of Materials)
Product structure diagram and exploded view
Supplier material certificate (if any)
Previous test reports (if any)
3. Laboratory Disassembly and Material Classification
Since the walkie-talkie is composed of multiple materials, it must be disassembled and tested according to homogeneous materials. This mainly includes:
| Disassembly Parts | Materials Involved
| Shell/Buttons/Knobs | PC, ABS, PBT, etc.
| Motherboard/PCB | Substrate, Solder, Solder Mask
| Battery | Lithium Battery, Cell
| Metal Components | Aluminum Alloy, Copper, Plating
| Wires | PVC Sheath, Conductor Copper
| LCD Screen | LCD Glass, Backlight Panel
4. Laboratory Testing
Initial Screening: XRF fluorescence spectroscopy (rapid screening of 10 substances)
Precision Testing: Chemical analysis methods (ICP-OES, GC-MS, UV-Vis) for samples exceeding limits or at the critical point.
Issuance of Original Test Data
5. Report Issuance
RoHS test report issued by the testing institution in both Chinese and English.
Report content includes: sample information, test methods, limit standards, test results for each component, and conformity determination.
III. Report Delivery and Subsequent Compliance
Required Document Package
1. RoHS Test Report (CNAS/CMA Certification)
2. CE Declaration of Conformity (DoC): Signed by the manufacturer or importer
3. Technical File: Includes circuit diagrams, BOM, test reports, etc.
4. CE Mark: Affixed to the product body.
Notes
Separate Battery Requirements: Walkie-talkie lithium batteries must additionally comply with the EU Battery Directive. 2006/66/EC
Charger: If a charger is included, RoHS + EMC + LVD testing must be performed simultaneously.
Report Validity: Usually 1-2 years, but retesting is required if raw materials or processes change.
Spot Inspection and Supervision: EU market surveillance agencies conduct spot checks at any time; companies must retain technical documents for at least 5 years for future reference.
Practical Advice
Before Submitting Samples: It is recommended that companies conduct self-testing using XRF instruments to identify potential non-compliance risks in advance.
Cost Reduction Methods: Provide combined testing of components of the same material to reduce the number of testing items.
Long-Term Compliance: Sign RoHS compliance agreements with raw material suppliers and establish a green supply chain management system.
