2. What are the hazardous substances?
RoSH I*** lists six hazardous substances, including: lead Pb, Cd, mercury, pot Hg,,, hexavalent chromium CR6+, polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDE polybrominated biphenyls PBB.
3. Why introduce ROSH?
The first time that the presence of heavy metals hazardous to human health in electrical and electronic equipment was noticed was in the Netherlands in 2000, when the Netherlands in the wholesale Cadmium was found in the cables of game consoles sold in the market. In fact, the solder currently used in large quantities in the production of electrical and electronic products, and the ink used in the printing of packaging boxes all contain lead and other harmful heavy metals.
4. When will ROHS be implemented?
The European Union will implement ROHS on July 1, 2006, and electrical and electronic products that use or contain heavy metals and flame retardants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and other flame retardants will not be permitted to enter the European Union market at that time.
5, ROHS specifically involved in those products
ROHS for all production processes and raw materials may contain the above six hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products mainly include:
White appliances: such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, etc.
Black appliances: such as audio, video products, DVD, CD, TV receivers, IT equipment and other products. CDs, TV receivers, IT products, digital products, communication products, etc.
Power tools
Electric electronic toys
Medical electrical equipment
6. What is the current progress of ROSH?
Some large companies have noted ROSH and began to take countermeasures, such as SONY's digital cameras have been in the box under the Ministry of Information Industry in 2004, also introduced the "Electronic Information Products Pollution Prevention and Control Management Measures," the contents of which are similar to the ROSH, on the establishment of the October "Electronic Information Products Pollution Prevention and Control Standards Working Group
The Ministry of Information Industry in 2004 also issued the "Electronic Information Product Pollution Prevention Management Measures" under the Ministry of Information Industry, the contents of which are similar to ROSH.
Implementation time: July 1, 2006
February 2003, the European Union Parliament and the Council of the European Union with the 2002/95/EC officially announced: the requirements from July 1, 2006 into the European Union electrical and electronic products should be in line with the European Union Directive on the Prohibition of Hazardous and Deleterious Substances (Regulation of Hazardous Substances, abbreviated as RoHS). Substances, RoHS for short). This directive mainly restricts the content of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in products. At present, many electrical and electronic products contain these six toxic and hazardous substances. If you do not take effective measures in advance, the enterprise will be "helpless", but also make enterprises suffer greater economic losses. In order to help companies deal with the EU "Restriction of the use of toxic and hazardous substances directive", the certification is designed to help companies effectively control the limit of toxic and hazardous substances in the product. If the product has passed the CE and other EU certifications but not through the ROHS, in the EU is not allowed to sell. Since March 1, 2007, the Chinese people *** and the implementation of ROHS certification, where the Chinese people *** and the sale of electrical and electronic products in the country should be in line with the ROHS Directive. And the certified testing organizations need to be recognized by the People's Republic of China **** and the country institutions.
