:【question】 Visits:
As a typical electronic and electrical product, cash register printers fall under the control scope of China's RoHS "Regulations on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" and must undergo hazardous substance testing. The following is a detailed interpretation of its ten test reports:
I. Testing Basis and Standards
The RoHS testing of cash register printers is mainly based on the following standards:
| Standard Type | Standard Number | Description
| Test Method | GB/T 26125 (equivalent to IEC 62321) | Specifies test methods for ten hazardous substances
| Labeling Requirements | SJ/T 11364 | Hazardous Substance Restriction Labeling for Electrical and Electronic Products
| Limit Requirements | GB/T 26572 | Hazardous Substance Concentration Limit Requirements
| Classification Notes | Classification Notes for Electrical and Electronic Products | Confirms that printer products fall within the scope of control
II. Ten Test Items and Limits
1. Heavy Metals (4 items)
Lead (Pb) ≤ 1000 ppm
Cadmium (Cd) ≤ 100 ppm
Mercury (Hg) ≤ 1000 ppm
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) ≤ 1. **1000 ppm**
2. **Brominated Flame Retardants (2 items)**
**Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs)** ≤ 1000 ppm
**Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs)** ≤ 1000 ppm
3. **Phytaldehyde Esters (4 items)**
**DEHP** ≤ 1000 ppm
**BBP** ≤ 1000 ppm
**DBP** ≤ 1000 ppm
**DIBP** ≤ 1000 ppm ppm
III. Testing Units Required for Disassembling a Cash Register Printer
Depending on the product's structural characteristics, it generally needs to be disassembled into the following units for separate testing:
Power Adapter/Power Board
Main Control Board (PCB Main Board)
Printhead Assembly (including heating element)
Plastic Housing (ABS/PC material)
Metal Bracket/Gear Set
Connecting Cables
LCD Display (if present)
Button/Switch Assembly
Internal Connectors and Terminals
Battery (if built-in)
IV. Core Contents of the Test Report
A complete RoHS test report typically includes:
Basic Information
Competing Organization, Product Name, Model Specifications (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Sample Quantity, Submission Date, Testing Cycle (generally 5-7 working days)
Summary of Test Results
Hazardous Substance Content Data for Each Testing Unit
Determination of Compliance with Standard Limits
Technical Support Documents
Instructions for Testing Instruments and Methods (XRF Screening + (ICP-OES/AAS Precise Confirmation)
Testing Process Photos
Laboratory Qualification Information (CMA/CNAS Certification Number)
V. Application Process Suggestions
Step 1: Select a third-party testing organization with CMA+CNAS accreditation.
Step 2: Complete the application and provide product technical information (BOM list, material declaration).
Step 3: Submit samples for testing (sufficient sample quantity is usually required for each testing unit).
Step 4: Laboratory testing (XRF initial screening, precise chemical testing for items exceeding standards).
Step 5: Issuance of report (Chinese version, stamped with CMA accreditation seal and laboratory inspection seal).
Step 6: Cooperate in completing environmental labeling (affix a green label to the product).
VI. Key Precautions
Report Validity: Usually 1 year, resubmission is required upon expiration; retesting is also required if the product's raw materials or suppliers change.
Complete Machine and Component Testing: Complete machine testing or testing of key components can be selected depending on the product. Complete machine testing is more expensive but more comprehensive.
Compliance Requirements: Test reports must be retained along with technical documentation for at least 10 years for random inspections by regulatory authorities.
Common Areas Exceeding Standards: Lead in printhead solder joints, phthalic acid plasticizers in the plastic casing, and hexavalent chromium in the casing coating are high-risk areas for RoHS testing of cash register printers and require close monitoring.
