The restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, its provisions, in the electrical, electronic products such as lead, cadmium, mercury, containing six chromium polybrominated diphenyl ether, two and polybrominated biphenyls and other harmful heavy metals, the European Union from July 1, 2006 will ban the import.
一、 What is the RoHS tester
The Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment。
The RoHS tester is also called environmental certification is in accord with the standards of Europe and the United States.
二、 Hazardous substance refers to what?
The RoHS tester has listed six kinds of harmful substances, including: lead cadmium mercury Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr6 + six valence chromium polybrominated diphenyl ether, two PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB.
The RoHS tester instructions limiting the use of the following six categories of harmful substances:
1.Mercury (Hg ) using the examples of substances: temperature controller, sensor, switch and relay, light bulbs。
2.Lead the substance use example: solder, glass, PVC stabilizer。
3.Cadmium using the examples of substances: switch, springs, connectors, shell and PCB, contact, battery。
4.Chromium ( six. ) the substance use example: metal attached corrosion coating。
5.Polybrominated biphenyls ( PBB ) using the examples of substances: flame retardant, PCB, connectors, plastic shell
6.Polybrominated diphenyl ethers ( two PBDE ) using the examples of substances: flame retardant, PCB, connectors, plastic shell

三、 Why should roll out the RoHS tester
First noticed the electrical, electronic equipment contain harmful to human health of heavy metal in Holland in 2000 in a number of marketing game machine cable found in the cd. In fact, electrical and electronic products in the production of the current extensive use of solder, package printing ink containing lead and toxic heavy metals.
四、When implementing the RoHS tester
The European Union will be implemented in July 1, 2006 RoHS tester, then using or containing heavy metals and polybrominated diphenyl ether in two PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB flame retardant electrical and electronic products will not be allowed to enter the EU market.
五、The RoHS tester relates to those products?
The RoHS tester for all the production process as well as the raw material may contain the above six kinds of harmful substances in electrical and electronic products, including: white appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machine, microwave oven, air conditioning, vacuum cleaners, water heater, black appliances, such as audio, video products, DVD, CD, a television receiver, IT products, digital products, communications products; electric tools, electric toys electronic medical electrical equipment。
六、The RoHS tester progress?
Some big companies have noticed the RoHS tester and began to take measures, such as SONY company’s digital camera has on the box statement: This product adopts lead-free soldering; lead-free printing ink.
The Ministry of information industry in 2004 also introduced the" electronic information products management of pollution control measures" content with the RoHS tester is similar, and in October set up a" electronic information products pollution control standards working group", research and build our country electronic information products pollution control standard system; development and controlling pollution caused by electronic information products related standard study and revision, especially accelerate the development of industry is badly in need of material, process, terminology, methods of testing and test methods of basic standards.
七、The RoHS tester to industry of our country electron effect。
According to the China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association’s most recent data, the first quarter of 2004, China’s export of electromechanical products in China’s exports of about 55%. While the EU has become China’s export of electromechanical products in major markets. As a result of Chinese manufacturers environmental protection concepts and technology level is backward, the RoHS tester instruction makes nearly $27000000000 of Chinese mechanical and electrical products facing EU green barriers。
The Chinese government has been given close attention and research countermeasure, the State Council specially instructed the Ministry of information industry for the EU environmental directives study and work. Ministry of information industry, according to the" Cleaner Production Promotion Law" and" solid waste pollution prevention law" and other relevant laws and regulations formulated by the" electronic information products management of pollution control measures" has been completed, and come into effect in January 1, 2005.
" Electronic information products management of pollution control measures" provisions, since July 1, 2006, included in the electronic information product pollution control key directory of electronic information products shall not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, six polymeric brominated diphenyl ether and polymeric brominated biphenyls and other toxic and harmful substance.。
For the period of time before July 1, 2006, Chinese government requirements for electronic information product manufacturers to implement of toxic and harmful substances in the reduction of production measures, and actively looking for alternatives.
At the same time, a " electronic information products pollution control standards working group " of the organization has started preparations for the establishment of the mechanism, the main task is to research and establish in line with China’s national standards on the prevention and control of pollution caused by electronic information products, development and electronic information products pollution control standards pertaining to research and development, especially to speed up the formulation of urgent need the material, process, testing method and experimental method based standards.
The RoHS tester RoHS tester price and price ( officially ) generally is 15% ~ 30%, but under normal circumstances also according to their own products to processing.
八、RoHS tester test cycle
The RoHS tester certification cycle : seven working days to the RoHS tester banned hazardous substances testing standard and methods ( the test method is the industry default method, not the EU mandatory )
九．The significance of implementing 9.RoHS tester
The RoHS tester instruction made sense in with WEEE instruction advocated environmental protection and energy saving.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment .The directive by the European Parliament and the Council, member states of the European Union August 13, 2005 began to enforce. Its main purpose is to prevent the generation of wastes, the second is for the convenience of waste recycling, reuse, remanufacturing, reduce the waste of resources.
十、The implementation of the national RoHS tester
To the RoHS tester EU member state Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Holland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the UK, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein
十一、The RoHS tester certification testing sample preparation
Manufacturers in the inspection products before, ahead of the best on the product itself will detail resolution, packaging, and separately in each packaging with the product name and number, each principle components required to detect the weight of: solid 10-20 g, 10-20 liquid mg。
