National ROHS certification is to control and reduce the environmental pollution caused by electronic information products. The purpose of ROHS certification is to reduce or eliminate six substances in electronic information products, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. The ROHS certification system of national promotion adopts the principles of unified product catalog, unified certification technical specifications, certification rules and conformity assessment procedures, and unified marks.

In 2018, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of science and technology and other nine ministries and commissions compiled the catalogue of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (the first batch) and the list of exceptions for the application of restricted substances in the catalogue, which require that for the products included in the catalogue, lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, chromium, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and The content of polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers should meet the relevant standards of the limit of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, and should be included in the management of the management system of hazardous substances display and use of electrical and electronic products.

The national promotion of RoHS will be enforced on November 1, 2019. All products in the catalogue of management of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (the first batch) shall meet the RoHS regulations.

Laboratory organization of ROHS certification

Only laboratories authorized by CNCA to do ROHS certification and inspection work can undertake the inspection work. Universal unity group has been awarded the contract laboratory of relevant national certification authority & the first batch of compulsory RoHS sampling inspection units.

What are the benefits of national push ROHS certification

Reduction and exemption of fund collection for waste electrical and electronic products disposal by enterprises;

Priority should be given to the government procurement plan;

Enhance the competitiveness of products in the market.

ROHS certification mode

Mode 1: type test + supervision after certification

Mode 2: sampling test + supervision after certification

Mode 3: optimization test + supervision after certification

Mode 4: sampling test + initial factory inspection + supervision after certification [all products within the scope of applicable rules]

The first batch (12 categories) compulsory products of national push RoHS: refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, electric water heaters, printers, copiers, fax machines, TV sets, monitors (including displays, displays, etc.), microcomputers (including desktop computers, notebook computers, tablet computers, etc.), mobile communication handhelds, and telephone stand-alone machines.

The validity period of national RoHS certificate covering 12 categories of products is 5 years, which needs to be supervised and checked regularly every year.
