Guide to Obtaining a China RoHS Report for Over-Ear Headphones
Over-ear headphones fall under the "Audio and Video Equipment" category subject to China RoHS regulations. They require testing for hazardous substances—such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)—and the issuance of a conformity report. The process is outlined below:
I. Application Process (5 Steps)
1. Confirm Testing Requirements
Identify the headphone product type (wired/wireless, battery-included or not), prepare the product manual, and determine the specific hazardous substances requiring testing.
2. Select a Testing Agency
Choose a third-party testing agency with CMA/CNAS accreditation (e.g., Dezewei Testing, CNAS Registration No.: L8083) and confirm their capability to conduct China RoHS testing.
3. Submit Samples for Testing
Provide finished product samples (typically 2–3 units) for whole-unit testing.
If necessary, provide a Bill of Materials (BOM) to facilitate component-level testing.
The testing turnaround time is generally 5–7 working days.
4. Issue Test Report
Upon successful testing, the agency issues a "China RoHS Hazardous Substance Test Report" bearing the CMA/CNAS marks, detailing the test results for each hazardous substance.
5. Product Labeling and Declaration
In accordance with the *Administrative Measures for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products*, affix an environmental protection label (including the "e" mark indicating the Environment-Friendly Use Period) to the product or packaging, and declare the hazardous substance content in the product manual. II. Required Materials
| Material Type | Specific Details
| Product Information | Finished product samples, user manual, product images
| Technical Documentation | Bill of Materials (BOM) (optional)
| Application Information | Testing application form, company credentials
III. Key Considerations
Report Validity: Typically 1 year; re-testing is required upon expiration.
Battery Considerations: If the headphones contain a lithium battery, additional attention must be paid to hazardous substance requirements specific to the battery.
Multi-region Sales: If exporting to the EU simultaneously, it is recommended to obtain an EU RoHS report at the same time, as testing data can be shared.
Cost Range: Testing fees for a single headphone model generally range from 1,000 to 3,000 RMB, depending on product complexity.
