EU RoHS electronic products are beneficial to human health and environmental protection

Certification Introduction

RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, and its full name is the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" directive. This standard has been officially implemented since July 1, 2006, mainly used to standardize the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products, making them more conducive to human health and environmental protection. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate six substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (note: the correct Chinese name for PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which is an incorrect statement), from motor and electronic products, and specifically stipulates that the lead content cannot exceed 0.1%.

The RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requires testing for 6 items, and the directive has come into effect as the RoHS Directive. The RoHs testing items include lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (C), polybrominated biphenyls (PBS), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Regarding projects such as HBCDD, BBP, DBP, DEHP, etc., this directive only mentions whether they will be prioritized for inclusion in control in subsequent evaluations, and does not mandate manufacturers to conduct testing.
