Electric water heaters require China ROHS certification, which means that the product complies with China's regulations on harmful substances. According to the "Management Measures for Pollution Control of Electronic and Electrical Products", electric water heaters belong to the category of electrical and electronic products, and they need to comply with corresponding harmful substance restriction standards during production and sales.

If you want to sell electric water heaters in China, you need to label the product with the Chinese ROHS logo and obtain the Chinese ROHS certification certificate. Obtaining a certification certificate requires testing and auditing by a third-party certification agency to ensure that the electric water heater does not contain harmful substances and complies with relevant standards and regulations.

It should be noted that the ROHS certification in China is different from other certifications (such as CE certification) and cannot be replaced. So, if you plan to sell electric water heaters in China, you need to obtain both China ROHS certification and other relevant certifications.

At present, RoHS certification mainly tests six substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE. Common products apply for ROHS certification, and the RoHS testing time for conventional products is about 7 days, provided that the customer provides samples and information.
