Q & A
What is ROHS certification?
EU ROHS certification (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) has been scheduled
for July 1, 2006 implementation, since that date, all electrical and electronic equipment sold
in Europe of restricted hazardous substances must comply with the stringent requirements
of Directive .
The Directive stipulates that the European sales of electrical and electronic products, lead
Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury Hg, hexavalent chromium Cr6 +, PBBs PBBs, PBDEs PBDEs
six hazardous substances be restricted after more harmful substances will also be
restrictions.
RoHS certification covers the range of AC1000V, DC1500V following directories listed by the
electronic and electrical products:
Large household appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens,
Lighting: In addition to outside the household fluorescent lighting, lighting controls
air conditioners and other.
Large household appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, micro and small household
appliances: vacuum cleaner, iron, hair dryer, oven, watches and other wave oven,
air conditioning, etc.
IT and telecommunications equipment: computers, fax machines, telephones, cell phones,
etc.
Civilian devices: radios, televisions, video recorders, musical instruments, etc.
Lighting: In addition to outside the household fluorescent lighting, lighting controls
Power Tools: drills, lathes, welding, spray, etc. (to be installed except for large-scale
industrial tools)
Toys / entertainment, sports equipment: electric cars, video game.
Medical Devices: radiation therapy, ECG testing, analysis equipment, etc.
Monitor / control devices: smoke detectors, incubators, plant monitoring and control
machines with.
Which, RoHS Directive currently applicable 8,9 two.
RoHS certification (2002/95/EC) on the maximum allowable concentration of harmful
substances (threshold): Cd threshold of 100ppm; Pb, Hg, Cr6 +, PBB, PBDE threshold
1000ppm; their testing method also requires countries to coordinate.
First, the system certification,: EST electrical products testing laboratory harmful
substances according to the requirements of the EU Directive 2002/95/EC on six kinds
of relevant hazardous substances were detected.
The second is to prepare the listing of components and finished products certification,
namely ROHS integration.
ROHS prohibited chemical substances testing and certification services.
Scientific and technological progress brings convenience, but also increasing waste
electrical and electronic equipment! Developing countries around the world in a positive
environmental regulations did not dare to expect to make harmful substances in the waste
to minimize environmental impact, and requires all manufacturing suppliers assume related
responsibilities.
