ROHS certification is a European Union directive aimed at controlling and reducing the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products to protect human health and the environment.
The full name of ROHS certification is Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive), which, in layman's terms, is a blacklist of hazardous substances. It is a blacklist of hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), etc. Electrical and electronic products must comply with the requirements of the Directive and pass the ROHS test in order to be put on the market.
ROHS certification proves that electronic and electrical products are free of hazardous substances, which improves the quality and reliability of the products and allows consumers to use them with greater peace of mind. In addition, while enjoying safe and healthy products, it also helps to protect the environment by reducing the emission of hazardous substances and lowering the pollution of the environment. In addition, through the ROHS certification of the product in line with the European market regulations, can be successfully sold to the EU countries, and is conducive to improving sales and product market competitiveness.
ROHS certification applies to all electrical and electronic products, including consumer electronics, household appliances, medical equipment, office equipment, the automotive industry, aerospace equipment, the military field and so on. In addition to the European market, ROHS certification is also gradually recognized by the global market, becoming one of the important certification standards for the export of electrical and electronic products.
