Introduction: A New Global Trade Barrier in the Green Wave
With increasing global focus on environmental protection and human health, environmental compliance for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has become a rigid barrier to international trade. Among these, the EU’s RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) is undoubtedly a “green passport” that the global electronics manufacturing industry must adhere to.
As a professional third-party testing and inspection organization, TTS is committed to helping companies quickly and efficiently complete RoHS certification, ensuring your products smoothly enter the EU and even the global market.
I. What is RoHS Certification? — A Dual Guarantee for Environmental Protection and Health
The RoHS Directive aims to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, thereby protecting human health and the environment.
Core Purpose: Restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) to reduce their harm to the environment and health.
Latest Version: RoHS 2.0 (Directive 2011/65/EU), which has increased the number of restricted substances to 10. Restricted Substances: Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)), Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs), and four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP).
II. RoHS Certification Scope – Who Needs This “Green Pass”?
The RoHS directive has a very broad scope, covering almost all electronic and electrical equipment and their components and raw materials.
1. Electronic and Electrical Equipment: Consumer electronics products such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, printers, and routers;
2. Household Appliances: Large and small appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, televisions, and microwave ovens;
3. Automotive Parts: Automotive electronic components such as car navigation systems, batteries, wiring harnesses, and sensors;
4. Medical Devices: Electronic medical products such as medical monitors, diagnostic equipment, and medical consumables;
5. Toys and Children’s Products: Toys containing electronic components, baby monitors, etc.;
6. Others: Lighting equipment, power tools, wires and cables, electronic components, etc.
III. The Role and Importance of RoHS Certification – Why is it Essential?
RoHS certification is not only a compliance requirement but also a crucial means for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness.
1. International Market Access Certificate: It is a mandatory requirement for products entering the EU market and an important reference for many countries and regions (such as China, the United States, and South Korea) when formulating similar regulations. Non-compliant products face the risk of being detained by customs, returned, or subject to hefty fines.
2. Enhanced Brand Image: Obtaining RoHS certification demonstrates a company’s responsibility for environmental protection and consumer health, helping to establish a green and responsible corporate image and win customer trust.
3. Optimized Supply Chain Management: The certification process prompts companies to strictly screen and control raw materials and components, ensuring product quality and environmental performance from the source and reducing the risk of non-compliance.
4. Enhanced Product Competitiveness: Among similar products, those with RoHS certification have a greater advantage and are more likely to gain favor with buyers and end consumers.
IV. RoHS Certification Process – TTS Helps You Achieve Efficient Compliance
As a professional third-party testing and inspection organization, TTS provides one-stop RoHS certification services with a clear and efficient process:
1. Consultation and Application: The company submits its certification requirements and provides product information (Bill of Materials, product drawings, etc.).
