Today, with increasing environmental awareness, the RoHS Directive has become one of the environmental standards worldwide. The RoHS Directive is an environmental regulation formulated by the European Union aimed at limiting the use of harmful substances in electronic and electrical products, protecting human health and the environment. And China also introduced the "Management Measures for Pollution Control of Electronic and Electrical Products" in 2006. What are the differences between China's RoHS and the EU's RoHS?

1. EU RoHS has a wider scope of application. EU RoHS is applicable to all electronic and electrical products, including household appliances, IT equipment, communication equipment, lighting equipment, etc. Chinese RoHS is only applicable to electronic information products, including computers, communication devices, household appliances, etc.


2. There are more substances restricted by EU RoHS. The substances restricted by the EU RoHS include six substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. The substances restricted by China's RoHS only include four substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.


3. The EU's RoHS enforcement agencies are more rigorous. The executive body of the European Union's RoHS is the European Commission, which is responsible for formulating and modifying RoHS directives, as well as supervising and managing regulatory agencies from member states. The executing agency of RoHS in China is the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, responsible for formulating and modifying RoHS related standards, while also supervising and managing environmental protection departments in various regions.


In summary, although both China's RoHS and the EU's RoHS are environmental regulations designed to protect human health and the environment, there are certain differences in their scope of application, restricted substances, enforcement standards, and enforcement agencies. Therefore, when producing and selling electronic and electrical products, it is necessary to make corresponding adjustments and comply with the regulatory requirements of different countries and regions.
