Certification Introduction
ROHS certification is a national certification to control and reduce the environmental pollution caused by the discarded electronic information products. The purpose of ROHS certification is to reduce or eliminate 6 substances in lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electronic information products. The China National RoHS certification system adopts the principles of unified product catalogs, unified certification technical specifications, certification rules and conformity assessment procedures, and unified marks.
In 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology and other nine ministries and commissions compiled the "Administrative Catalogue for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (First Batch)" and the "Exceptional List of Restricted Substances for the Application of the Restricted Management Catalogue". The content of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers should meet the relevant standards for the limit of use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, and be included in the management of the conformity assessment management system for the display of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.
State-of-the-art ROHS will be enforced on November 1, 2019. All products in the "Management Catalogue for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (First Batch)" shall meet the requirements of State-of-the-art ROHS regulations.
ROHS-certified laboratory organization
Only laboratories authorized by the CNCA to allow China RoHS certification inspection work can undertake inspection work. Beitest Group obtained the contracted laboratories of the relevant national certification agencies & the first batch of mandatory national promotion ROHS sampling inspection units.
What are the benefits of doing ROHS certification?
Reduction or exemption of enterprises for the collection of waste electrical and electronic products processing funds;
