Differences between RoHS in China and RoHS in EU (illustrated in detail)

Differences between RoHS in China and RoHS in EU (illustrated in detail)

The Catalogue for the Management of Harmful Substances Restriction in Electrical and Electronic Products (the first batch) was implemented on March 15, 2019. Recently, the State Administration of Market Supervision and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued the Implementation Arrangement for the Qualification Assessment System of Harmful Substances Restriction in the Use of Electrical and Electronic Products (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Arrangement"), which stipulates that the products that leave the factory and import after November 1, 2019 are included in the "Standard-meeting Tube for the Restriction of the Use of Harmful Substances The products of the catalogue (first batch) should meet the requirements of the Implementation Arrangement.

China RoHS and EU RoHS

What's the difference between RoHS in China and RoHS in EU which has been implemented for many years? Let's start with the following

To introduce the analysis.

1. The scope of control is different.

EU RoHS: It controls electronic and electrical products under 1500V DC and 1000V AC, except exempted products.

China RoHS: Refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, electric water heater, printer, photocopy, fax machine, TV, monitor, micro-computer, mobile handset, telephone stand-alone. (The first 12 categories of electrical and electronic products in the catalogue of standards-meeting management on March 15, 2019)

Our country implements the exhaustive law, i.e. the Catalogue of Management of Harmful Substances Restricted Use of Electrical and Electronic Products to Achieve Standards.

2. Controlling substances are different

The EU RoHS regulates 10 substances:

Lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), methyl phenyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)

There are only six controlled substances in China's RoHS:

Lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

EU Limited Substances, China Limited Substances (mass fraction)

Lead (Pb) Lead (Pb) 0.1%

Mercury (Hg) Mercury (Hg) 0.1%

Cadmium (Cd) Cadmium (Cd) 0.01%

Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) 0.1%

Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) 0.1% polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)

Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) 0.1% polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) 0.1%

Methyl phenyl butyl phthalate (BBP) 0.1%

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) 0.1%

Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) 0.1%

3. Different supervision systems in production links

EU RoHS: The main way of supervision is sampling inspection in the field of circulation.

China RoHS: It has supervision in the field of circulation and strengthens supervision measures in the production sector (supervised by the Municipal Supervision Bureau and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology). China RoHS requires product manufacturers in the management catalogue to choose voluntary certification or self-declaration from the National Publishing Corporation and enter information into a unified platform.

4. Different authentication

EU RoHS: EU RoHS has no mandatory certification requirements, but the EU has formulated a process management system for hazardous substances which requires IECQ-QC080000. Enterprises voluntarily apply for certification. The basic framework of the system is ISO 9001.

China RoHS: We must choose one of the "voluntary certification" and "self-declaration" of China National Publishing Corporation. There are four kinds of certification methods for voluntary certification of China National Publishing Corporation.

Certification Mode, Sample Detection, Initial Factory Inspection, Post-Certification Supervision, Applicable Products

Sampling, Sampling, Conformity Statement

Model 1 (Type Test) Components and Components Products, Material Products

Mode 2 Components and Component Products

Mode 3 (Optimal Detection) Whole Machine Class and Component Class

(Complex products)

Mode 4 All products within the scope of these Regulations

5. Self-declaration

EU RoHS: No mandatory requirements.

China RoHS: You must choose between "Voluntary Certification" and "Self-declaration" of National Publishing.

6. Identification requirements

EU RoHS: No marking requirements.

RoHS, China: The Regulations on the Use and Management of Green Product Labels, which have marking requirements, are formally implemented on June 1, 2019.

7. Requirements for testing institutions

EU RoHS: Provide third-party testing reports according to needs, of course, the testing institutions are ISO/IEC17025 certified laboratories, that is, CNAS accredited laboratories in China.

China RoHS:

(1) Voluntary Certification of National Publishing Corporation: The testing of certified samples should be done by the inspection and testing institutions contracted by the certification authority and meeting the requirements of relevant capabilities and resources.

(2) The test report in the self-declaration may come from the laboratory owned by the producer and the production enterprise and satisfy the corresponding technical ability, or it may be a qualified single-tripartite inspection and testing organization, or the conformity formed by the supplier on the basis of the determination of harmful substances in all components, components and raw materials. Sexual report.

8. Detection methods, splitting rules

EU RoHS: IEC62321

China RoHS:

(1) Limits and disassembly requirements shall be implemented in accordance with GB/T 26572.

(2) The detection method is carried out according to GB/T 26125 standard.

9. Requirements for publicity

EU RoHS: There is no mandatory requirement, mainly for the transmission of relevant information between upstream and downstream supply chains;

China RoHS: Whether it is the voluntary certification or self-declaration of China National Publishing Corporation, it is necessary to report to the public service platform for restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products to achieve data sharing.
