Guidelines for Portable Shavers' EU RoHS Testing Report
Portable shavers fall under Category 2, "Small Household Appliances," of the EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU). Exporting them to the EU requires compliance with RoHS hazardous substance restrictions.
I. Hazardous Substances and Limits for Testing
According to RoHS 2.0 + RoHS 3.0, 10 hazardous substances need to be tested:
| Substance | Limit
| Lead (Pb) | ≤ 0.1%
| Mercury (Hg) | ≤ 0.1%
| Cadmium (Cd) | ≤ 0.01%
| Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) | ≤ 0.1%
| Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs) | ≤ 0.1%
| Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) | ≤ 0.1%
| Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) | ≤ 0.1%
| Butylbenzyl Phthalate (BBP) | ≤ 0.1%
| Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) | ≤ 0.1%
| Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP) | ≤ 0.1%
II. Components of a Portable Shaver Requiring Testing
Shavers typically require disassembly and individual component testing, including:
1. Shell and Structural Components: Plastic shell (ABS/PC), metal razor handle, rubber/silicone parts
2. Internal Electronic Components: Motor, Circuit Board (PCB), solder joints, battery (lithium batteries require special attention)
3. Power Supply and Connecting Components: Charging cable, USB port, charging base, battery contacts
4. Coating and Surface Treatment: Painted/sprayed surfaces, electroplated layers (hexavalent chromium is a key focus)
III. Testing Process
1. Sample Preparation: Provide samples of the complete shaver or disassembled components (generally 2-3 complete shavers are required).
2. Selecting a Testing Institution: Choose a third-party laboratory with CNAS or CMA accreditation (e.g., Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083).
3. Submission and Testing: The laboratory follows IEC standards. Testing is conducted according to the 62321 series standards.
4. Report Issuance: A RoHS compliance test report will be issued upon successful completion, typically within 5-7 working days.
5. Assessment and Marking: The product is affixed with the CE mark and a RoHS Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is signed.
IV. Common Risks in Portable Shavers
Lithium Battery: High risk of lead contamination in solder joints; attention should be paid to battery connection components.
Metal Blade: Electroplating process may involve hexavalent chromium.
Plastic Shell: Risk of excessive plasticizer (phthalate) content.
PCB Board: Risk of PBB/PBDE contamination in solder and flame retardants.
V. Special Reminders
CE Mark: RoHS compliance is part of CE certification; a standalone RoHS report cannot replace CE certification.
Technical Documentation: Test reports, raw material declarations, and supply chain information must be retained for at least 10 years.
Compliance Recommendation: Require suppliers to provide RoHS test reports or declarations for each raw material during the procurement process; this can significantly reduce the overall testing risk.
