EU RoHS testing cycle and process

The RoHS Directive is a mandatory standard formulated by EU legislation. It is the Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Components in Electronic and Electrical Equipment. The national promotion of RoHs certification is required by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to issue the Management Catalogue of Restricting the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products in 2019.

RoHS lists six hazardous substances, including lead Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury Hg, Hexavalent chromium Cr6+, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs). RoHS2.0 test of the new RoHS standard, RoHS2.0 test items were updated to 10 RoHS2.0 items, and the limit for the control of these ten controlled substances was 0.1%, including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), as well as the amendment (EU) 2015/863, which officially introduced four items of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), tolyl butyl Phthalic acid (BBP), and dibutyl Phthalic acid (DBP P) Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) is listed in the restricted list of RoHS 2.0 (ANNEX II). In addition to medical equipment, monitoring and control instruments, the four additional phthalate Phthalate esters will be officially implemented on July 22, 2019, and medical equipment, monitoring and control instruments will be officially implemented on July 22, 2021.

RoHS testing scope

The RoHS directive covers a wide range of products, covering almost all electronic, electrical, medical, communication, toy, security information and other products. It not only includes the complete machine product, but also includes the components, raw materials, and packaging used in the production of the complete machine, which is related to the entire production chain.

RoHS testing cycle

The RoHS testing cycle is inseparable from the product, and different product testing cycles are also different. The testing time and cost are not only the same. We can provide fast service to customers, and the RoHS testing cycle usually takes 3 to 7 working days.

ROHS testing process

Step 1: The customer provides product pictures, BOM (Bill of materials) and application form;

Step 2: The laboratory shall provide a quotation based on the provided information;

Step 3: After the customer confirms the quotation, sign the filing application form and service agreement, pay the full project fee, and prepare test samples;

Step 4: The customer arranges to mail samples to the laboratory for testing;

Step 5: Test passed, report completed, project completed, and ROHS test report issued.
