China's Ministry of Information Industry in 2004 also introduced the "electronic information product pollution prevention and management measures" similar to RoHS, and in October set up the "electronic information product pollution prevention and control standards working group", to study and establish in line with China's national conditions of the electronic information product pollution prevention and control of the standard system; and to carry out with the standard related to the prevention of electronic information product pollution. To carry out research on standards related to the prevention and control of pollution of electronic information products and the preparation and revision of standards, especially to speed up the development of the industry's urgent need for materials, processes, nomenclature, test methods and test methods and other basic standards. A: At present, some factories in the introduction of RoHS process often go into the wrong zone, the following points are more common:
1, RoHS copper alloy, steel alloy, aluminum alloy are exempted, but to date there are still customers complaining that copper alloy lead exceeds the standard (more than 10,000 PPM).
2, the first point may be a little bit of RoHS common sense will know, but sometimes also into the wrong. Such as: as a wire conductor of copper wire or electronic components of the pin these are pure copper, not exempt from the category. Similarly: pure iron, pure aluminum also does not belong to this category. So you can not generalize as long as the copper, aluminum, iron are exempted from the scope.
B: Copper, steel and aluminum alloys are not exempted, but the limits are relaxed. For example, copper alloy, lead content of 40,000PPM, but other elements are still required by ROHS.
XRF is not an approved method, and is certainly not accurate. ICP does not have the kind of outrageous data you're talking about, but it's mainly due to interference.
A: Exemption does not mean that nothing is required. Currently for copper, aluminum, steel alloys as long as the standard model basically to meet RoHS requirements.
There have been PE, Varian user testing for several years and still do not know the matrix matching method.
C: matrix matching method is more trouble, you can call the various testing organizations, ask them if there is no alloy samples in the do have to do matrix. The average lab doesn't have the time or energy to do this.
The main basis for determining whether a product is qualified is the European Commission has issued (2002/95/EC) Directive and 2005/618/EC resolution
2005/618/EC resolution in the electrical and electronic equipment on the six hazardous substances in the limit values have specific provisions, including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), the maximum allowable content of 0.1% (1000 ppm), cadmium (cd) for 0.01% (100 ppm), the limit value is the development of the product compliance with the RoHS Directive legal basis. On March 19 and 20, 2008, the European Union published in the Official Journal a number of amendments to the Directive, including batteries, energy-consuming products, waste from waste automobiles, electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. The amendments give the European Commission a number of enforcement powers, and producers exporting electrical and electronic equipment to the EU should pay particular attention to them, as they will be able to see what the EU is likely to do in the future.
Directive 2008/34/EC amending Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE Directive) allows the Commission to amend the Annex to the WEEE Directive to include provisions on treatment technologies. The EC may amend the WEEE Directive in light of technological advances to include household lighting equipment, filament bulbs and photovoltaic products (e.g. solar panels) in the list of products covered by the WEEE Directive. Directive 2008/34/EC requires the EC to consult the industry before amending the Annex.
The ROHS Directive was adjusted in 2008 when the European Court of Justice (ECJ) issued a notice in March annulling the original EC directive to include decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE) in the exemptions to the RoHS Directive, and announcing that, from July 1, 2008, it would be prohibited to use the flame retardant in electrical and electronic products. Decabromodiphenyl ether is a high-purity and highly effective flame retardant with high bromine content and excellent thermal stability. It is most commonly used in the flame retardancy of polymer plastics, such as nylon, polypropylene, unsaturated polyester resins, and epoxy resins in a variety of thermoplastic, elastomeric and thermosetting polymer materials. In addition, it is suitable for use in adhesives and adhesive-backed coatings for the treatment of all types of textiles and furniture. However, studies have shown that decabromodiphenyl ether can be deposited in the fatty tissues of living organisms and cause damage to the nervous system and immune system of the next generation through mother and child, and may even be carcinogenic. Therefore, its application has gradually aroused global concern. Previously, Norway has issued regulations before the European Union, in April 1, 2008 onwards, a total ban on the use of decabromodiphenyl ether. The U.S. has also passed a bill banning the use of decaBDE in textiles such as mattresses or furniture upholstery, and in plastic covers for electronic products such as televisions or computers, at a rate of more than 0.1% by weight.
Countries have introduced decaBDE bans, banning the substance is difficult to stop, committed to the development of safer alternatives to flame retardants is urgent. The European Union this ban on the original list of exemptions, and the most used in China, the largest production of the bromine-containing flame retardants, involving a wide range of impact on the RoHS directive will be sold to the European Union's electronic equipment, cables, and other more than 30 types of electrical and electronic products. Inspection and quarantine departments to remind the relevant export enterprises to keep track of the importing country's standards and directives of the update, to understand the situation of their own products, in particular, the quality of upstream raw materials to carry out rigorous checks, for the detection of products containing decabromodiphenyl ether should be as soon as possible to find the use of other flame retardant substitutes, to prevent the decabromodiphenyl ether exceeded the standard caused by the product return.
Directive 2008/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of toxic substances in electrical and electronic equipment gives the European Commission the power to make certain amendments to the Annexes as necessary to keep pace with technological developments.
In addition, the EC has just completed an industry consultation on the RoHS Directive regarding the revision of the exemptions for toxic substances contained in the Annex to the Directive. According to Article 5(1)(c) of the RoHS Directive, the Commission must review each of the exempted substances listed in the Annex at least every four years, and may consider removing a restricted substance from the current list of exempted substances if the substance can be dispensed with or an alternative is available. Since the RoHS Directive entered into force on July 1, 2006, the EC will review the Annexes in 2010 or before.
