◉    Service Background

On 21 January 2016, China adopted its new RoHS regulation, known as China RoHS 2. It established a two-step approach on restricted use of hazardous chemicals in electrical and electronic products which included new labeling requirements and conformity assessment requirements. 

Step one of China RoHS 2, i.e. to provide a proper label to assist consumers and recycling factories to identify information about restricted substances in the products according to SJ/T 11364-2014 (Marking for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Product). 

Step two all products listed in “The Standard Achieving Management Catalog shall comply with the Implementation Arrangements.

On May 16, 2019, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) and Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) jointly announced "The Implementation Arrangements for the Conformity Assessment System for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Appliances and Electronic Products"All products listed in “The Standard Achieving Management Catalog (First Batch)” manufactured and imported after November 1, 2019 shall comply with the Implementation Arrangements.

The conformity assessment system includes two routes, “Voluntary Certification for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Appliances and Electronic Product” (known as "Voluntary Certification") and “Declaration of Conformity for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Appliances and Electronic Products” (known as "Self-Declaration”).

◉    Service Content

1、Scope

2、Sample requirements

Please contact CTI contact window, subject to specific standards.

3、Testing standards/evaluation standards

 ▪ GB/T 26125-2011: Electrical And Electronic Products--Determination of Six Regulated Substances (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls, Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers) 

GB/T 39560 series standards for Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products

SJT 11364-2014 Marking for the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic product  

GBT 26572-2011: Requirements of concentration limits for certain restricted substances in electrical and electronic products.

 "The Implementation Arrangements for the Conformity Assessment System for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Appliances and Electronic Products"

Note:

On December 14, 2020 and October 11, 2021, the State Administration of Market Regulation (State Standardization Administration) approved and promulgated China's RoHS supporting testing standards, i.e. series standards for Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products. So far, China's RoHS supporting new testing standards have been released.

Detailed information:

4、Regulatory control requirements

Substance requirements: Cd 0.01%, Pb、Hg、Cr⁶⁺、PBB& PBDE 0.1%

Marking requirements:

The first step of China RoHS label includes orange symbol, green symbol and hazardous substance content table. The orange symbol , green symbol are as follows:

Green symbol with an "e" in it: The product does not contain restricted substances and is a green, environmental-friendly product which can be recycled

Orange symbol with a number in it: The product contains certain hazardous substances and can be used safely during its environmental protection use period (EPUP) (as indicated by the number in the center) and should enter into the recycling system after the EPUP. Manufacturers and importers shall also provide the declaration table of the hazardous substances present in the product according to the standard SJ/T 11364-2014

The second step, according to The Implementation Arrangements introduce different conformity assessment labels for different conformity assessment methods. The use of such labels shall refer to the China’s “Administrative Measures on Green Product Labeling”.

On successful completion of the conformity assessment, products using the voluntary certification route shall use the logo shown in Figure 1, and those using the self-declaration route shall use the logo shown in Figure 2.
