This year, China has continued to increase its control over the green environmental performance of electrical and electronic products. First, in May, the implementation of the "qualification assessment system for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products" was released in May.
Supplier compliance map
The implementation arrangements will be formally implemented in November 1st, and the electrical and electronic products in the catalogue of management compliance (first batch) will be subject to conformity assessment according to the implementation arrangements. Xiaobian will bring you together today. What is the difference between China's RoHS and the EU RoHS directive that has been implemented for many years? The following 8 differences, 8 contrast map, hoping to help manufacturers prepare before the implementation of the new regulations.
Different ways of management and control
The European Union RoHS is restricted to the use of certain hazardous substances in the electrical and electronic products below 1500 volts of direct current and alternating current of 1000 volts. Except for products exempt from it, our country only restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products in the catalogue of compliance management.
The following are the related differences.
The EU RoHS has 10 control substances, and currently China's RoHS control materials are only 6.
Different ways of supervision
The regulation of EU RoHS is mainly based on the sampling inspection in the circulation field. China's RoHS also has regulation in the field of circulation. The new regulation specifies that the main regulatory departments are business, customs, quality inspection and other departments. The date of EU RoHS enforcement is higher than that of China. RoHS law enforcement in China is based on production date.
In addition, China's RoHS has strengthened regulatory measures in production. Specifically, the production enterprises of China's RoHS requiring the products in the catalogue of catalogues to be managed must be selected in the "national voluntary voluntary certification" and "self declaration" as a conformity assessment method to complete conformity assessment, and the corresponding information is entered into the public service platform.
Different authentication methods
EU RoHS has no mandatory certification requirements, but on the basis of ISO 9001, it has formulated IECQ-QC080000 for the hazardous substance process management system, which is voluntarily applied for certification by the enterprises. However, China RoHS can choose the national voluntary certification from two kinds of conformity assessment modes to complete the certification. Among them, there are four kinds of certification modes for national push voluntary certification.
Four modes of voluntary certification:
Identification requirements are different.
The EU RoHS has no identification requirements; China's RoHS has identification requirements, namely, the implementation of the qualification assessment system for hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, and the requirements for the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.
Different requirements for testing organizations
The EU RoHS in the law enforcement aspect, generally needs the merchant to provide the third party examination report, the third party organization must be the ISO/IEC 17025 authentication laboratory, in our country, also is the CNAS accreditation laboratory.
In China, the new regulations also have clear requirements.
(1) national push voluntary certification: certification sample inspection work should be signed by the certification body, and the inspection and testing institutions that meet the relevant competency and qualification requirements should be completed.
Self declaration: the test reports in self declaration can come from laboratories such as producers, production enterprises, etc., which have their own corresponding technical capabilities. They can also be qualified third party inspection and inspection organizations, or suppliers can arrange the conformance reports on the basis of all components, components, components and raw materials' hazardous substances.
Detection methods and resolution rules are different.
EU RoHS is implemented according to IEC 62321 standard, while China RoHS's limit and dismantling requirements are implemented according to GB/T 26572 standard, and the detection method is implemented according to the GB/T 26125 standard.
Different requirements for publicity
The EU RoHS has no mandatory requirement, which is mainly to transmit relevant information between the upstream and downstream of the supply chain. China RoHS is required to report to the public service platform for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, so as to realize data sharing.
