Introduction
Welcome to CDG Laboratory, where innovation meets compliance. Our commitment to ensuring the safety and environmental responsibility of electrical and electronic equipment is evident through our RoHS2 Testing services. RoHS, which stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, is a crucial standard that regulates the use of harmful substances in electronic products. In this comprehensive service page, we delve into the details of RoHS2, its stringent requirements, and how CDG’s expertise can guide you through seamless compliance.
Understanding RoHS2: A Brief Overview
RoHS2 is the second iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which originated in the European Union. This directive, formally known as Directive 2011/65/EU, restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in the manufacturing of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. The goal is to minimize the environmental impact of electronic waste and protect human health by limiting exposure to harmful substances.
Key Substances Regulated by RoHS2:
- Lead (Pb)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Hexavalent Chromium (CrVI)
- Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
- Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
Manufacturers must ensure that their products comply with RoHS2 regulations before placing them on the market. Non-compliance can lead to legal consequences, market restrictions, and damage to the brand’s reputation.
RoHS2 Requirements: A Deep Dive
1. Scope of RoHS2:
RoHS2 applies to a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment, including but not limited to:
- Large household appliances
- Small household appliances
- IT and telecommunications equipment
- Consumer equipment
- Lighting equipment
- Electrical and electronic tools
- Toys, leisure, and sports equipment
- Automatic dispensers
Understanding the scope is crucial for manufacturers to determine whether their products fall within the purview of RoHS2.
2. Restricted Substances and Maximum Concentrations:
RoHS2 sets maximum concentration values for the restricted substances present in homogeneous materials within electronic and electrical equipment. These limits ensure that the hazardous substances are minimized to levels that are considered safe for human health and the environment.
3. Exemptions:While RoHS2 restricts the use of specific substances, there are exemptions for certain applications where substitution is technically or scientifically impractical. These exemptions are reviewed regularly to promote the development of alternative technologies and substances.
4. Technical Documentation:
Manufacturers are required to maintain comprehensive technical documentation demonstrating their compliance with RoHS2. This includes records of conformity assessments, test reports, and documentation related to exemptions.
5. CE Marking:
Compliance with RoHS2 is often linked to the CE marking, indicating that the product meets European Union regulatory requirements. Products without CE marking may face restrictions in the EU market.
