Do plastic exports to the European Union require ROHS testing? Yes, plastic needs to undergo ROHS testing. The ROHS testing scope covers almost all electronic, electrical, medical, communication, toys, security information and other products. It not only includes the entire machine product, but also includes the components, raw materials, and packaging used in the production of the entire machine, which is related to the entire production chain.

The items for plastic ROHS testing include:

1. Harmful substance content detection: Quantitative analysis is conducted on the ten harmful substances (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.) restricted in the RoHS standard to ensure that their concentrations meet the specified limit requirements.

2. Element content analysis: Quantitative analysis of various elements (such as copper, iron, zinc, etc.) in the product to determine whether their content meets regulations.

3. Coating thickness test: Measure the surface coating of electronic products to ensure that the coating thickness meets the requirements.

4. Packaging material analysis: Testing of materials in product packaging to determine the presence of restricted substances.


The general ROHS testing process for plastics is as follows:

1. The process of applying for ROHS certification generally involves applying to a professional organization and providing a list of product components.

2. The organization determines the testing cost based on the provided material color.

3. After the applicant confirms the quotation, sign the application form and service agreement, pay the full project fee, and prepare test samples.

4. Conduct ROHS testing, typically including XRF scanning and chemical testing.

5. Test passed, report completed, project completed, ROHS test report issued.

The above process is for reference only, and you can consult professional organizations to obtain more detailed and accurate information.
