The Chinese government has made rules for addressing environmental pollution, promoting resource use, encouraging environmentally friendly consumption and protecting public health, what is the current status of the implementation of ROHS2?
- March 1, 2007: Measures for pollution control from electronic information products came into effect on February 28, 2006.
- 16 July 2010: Rules to control pollution from electrical and electronic products were made available for public comments.
- July 2016: Decree number 39 was released to ban the use of dangerous substances in electronic products
- March 2018: List and discount list of restricted use of dangerous substances in EEE products prepared
- May 16, 2019: Government agencies set up analogy assessment system for dangerous substances in electrical and electronic products
- November 1, 2019: Products listed on the list of banned use of dangerous substances included in EEE products which are entering or imported into the market will have to follow the implementation system.
"Electrical and electronic products" are devices and accessories that operate using electric current or electromagnetic fields with rated working voltage up to 1500v DC and 1000V AC, or which produce, transmit or measure such streams or areas. This definition does not include power generation, transmission and distribution equipment.
China ROHS includes batteries while not in EU ROHS.
China ROHS2 has a two-step process to limit the use of six dangerous substances.
Categories of electrical and electronic devices exempted from restriction on use of dangerous substances under China ROHS2:
- Equipment for power generation, transmission and distribution
- Military electrical and electronic equipment
- Equipment
- Electronic and electronic equipment desired for export
- Electrical and Electronic Products
- Prototype used for research and development purposes
- Samples and products displayed in exhibitions, not for sale.
In China ROHS, there is no need for something to conform to EU ROHS, and it is a misconception.
China rohs first step:
There is no need for replacement or range of toxins in electrical and electronic products under China ROHS2. Manufacturers will have to label dangerous substances in their products from 1 July 2016.
Currently, all regulated products will have to comply with phase one of the China ROHS2, including consumers and recycling factories to provide proper labeling to help identify information about restricted substances.
Environmental-Extract Use period (EFUP)
- The EFUP refers to the time period that is expressed over the years, where the toxic and dangerous substances or elements involved in the EIP remain stable under normal operating conditions without pollution or damage to human life or environment.
- The manufacturers are responsible for choosing the environment-friendly use period (EFUP) number to comply with the manufacturers "China ROHS". This number is usually based on factors such as the expected lifetime and re -purpose of the product, as well as the possibility of chemical release from the product.
- EFUP is calculated by adding a possible extended service life between the time between the time and inserting into the required service life, production and inserts.
- The beginning date of the environment-friendly use period can be represented by the "date of construction" inscribed on the product.
- There should be a complete number between EFUP1 and 10 equivalent than 10 years or its equal. The EFUP 5 of more than 10 years should be multiplier. If the EFUP5 is not property, it should be enacted into the nearest multiplier. 5. For example, 18 -year -old EFUP should be reduced to 15 years.
China rohs table
Manufacturers and importers must determine and mark the environmental protection use period (measured in years) for such products that exceed the concentration range of some dangerous substances. The date of construction should also be mentioned. They also need to provide the names and materials of dangerous substances in product instructions and mark them on parts using the specified table. However, there is no need to mark the information of dangerous substances on the product itself.
China rohs 2 step:
- The products listed in the compliance management catalog will have to follow the matter restriction limitations based on the relevant standards, and their compliance will be evaluated using the analogy assessment plan.
- From November 1, 2019, manufacturers must receive voluntary certification and declare analogity to comply with China ROHS2 for their products.
Compliance management catalogs include 12 different types of products.
- Refrigerator
- Air conditioner
- Washing machine
- Electric water heater
- Printer
- Copier
- Fax machine
- Television
- Keeps an eye on
- Micro-computers
- Mobile communication handset
- Phone
China rohs third step:
To display compliance with polluting limit requirements for E&E products, suppliers have two options:
- Provide a test report from a qualified laboratory
- Create an analogy report based on pollutant fixation for all components, parts and raw materials. Suppliers are responsible for ensuring self-declaration and accuracy, perfection and stability of related technical documents
The platform user or applicant must be registered in China, and companies located in the European Union are not eligible to apply for self-declaration.
self declaration
It is related to a type of conformity assessment where the supplier (who can be the manufacturer, authorized representative, etc.) employs an appropriate method to evaluate the conformity independently and presents information that verify that the electrical and electronic products being supplied meet the requirements. Relevant standard and technical requirements to limit the use of harmful substances.
State-promoted voluntary certification
It refers to a certification process that businesses can choose voluntarily, consisting of third -party certification bodies that verify that electrical and electronic products meet appropriate standards and technical needs to limit the use of harmful substances. This process is carried out by the state in a similar way.
It is necessary to apply logo on the product and can also be added to packaging. Adding labels to packaging may make it easier to confirm compliance for the Customs Department.
- If the size of the product is larger than 5 mm odd 5 mm, then logo must be applied on the product.
- For those products that are very small with dimensions less than 5 mm x 5 mm, logo can only be placed on packaging. However, in both cases, whether it is on product or packaging, it is necessary to include marking information in the product manual.
