What certification is rohs? The RoHS Directive is a mandatory standard formulated by EU legislation and is the "Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electronic and Electrical Equipment". The national promotion of RoHs certification is required by the National Administration of Market Supervision and Administration and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which issued the "Management Catalogue for Restricting the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" in 2019.

Service Background

European Union RoHS 1.0: In 2006, the European Union enacted a mandatory standard RoHS directive, which is mainly used to standardize the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products, with the aim of eliminating a total of six substances in electronic and electrical products, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated biphenyl ethers.

EU RoHS 2.0: In 2015, the European Union issued a directive (EU) 2015/863 in its official gazette to amend Annex II of RoHS 2.0 (2011/65/EU), officially listing four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) as RoHS 2.0 in Annex II. As of now, there are ten mandatory controlled substances in Annex II. After the issuance of the Directive, EU member states are required to convert this Directive into national regulations and implement it before December 31, 2016.

"Guotui RoHS: Guotui RoHS certification refers to products that are listed in the" Catalogue for the Administration of Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (First Batch) "after November 1, 2019, in accordance with Announcement No. 23, 2019 issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.", The requirements of the Implementation Arrangement should be met.

Control scope

All electronic, electrical, medical, communications, toys, security information, and other products, including not only the complete machine products, but also the components, raw materials, and packaging used in the production of the complete machine, are related to the entire production chain.

Test items



Testing principles

The product is divided according to the material, and hazardous substances are detected using different materials. In general:

The metal material needs to be tested for four harmful metal elements, such as (Cd cadmium/Pb lead/Hg mercury/Cr6+hexavalent chromium);

In addition to inspecting these four harmful heavy metal elements, the plastic material should also be tested for brominated flame retardants (PBB/PBDE)
