China Market Access for RoHS 2


RoHS Approval
 
The China Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)’ was issued on July 1, 2016. It is a mandatory regulation for electronic and electronic products intended for manufacture, sale or import in the People's Republic of China (except Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan).
 

According to the Regulation, electrical and electronic products are devices and accessory products with rated working electrical voltages that do not exceed 1500V direct current and do not exceed 1000V alternating current and function by means of current or electromagnetic fields and generate, transmit and measure such currents and electromagnetic fields. Batteries are also within the scope.

 

According to the Announcement № 15, the first batch of China RoHS 2 Compliance Catalogue contains the following product types that are subject to substance restrictions:

 

  • Refrigerators (up to 800 litres)

  • Air conditioners (≤ 14,000 watts)

  • Washing machines (≤ 10 kg of dry clothes)

  • Electric water heaters

  • Printers (≤ A3, ≤ 60 pages / minute)

  • Copiers (≤ A3, ≤ 60 pages / minute)

  • Fax machines

  • Televisions

  • Monitors

  • Microcomputers (desktop with necessary peripherals, laptops, tablets)

  • Mobile communication devices

  • Telephones

 

The MIIT also set an exemption list, providing 39 exemptions on uses of the foregoing restricted substances in electrical and electronic products, such as fluorescent and incandescent lamps, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment (HVACR), etc. Only one exemption is time-limited. The one for mercury in high-pressure vapour lamps (HPMV), which is set to expire on December 31, 2020.

 

Products listed in the Catalogue are subject to mandatory compliance with hazardous substance restriction limits.

 

China RoHS 2 restricts the use of the following six hazardous substances in electrical equipment (concentration limits):

 

  • Lead (Pb) and its compounds (0,1%)

  • Mercury and its compounds (0,1%)

  • Cadmium (Cd) and its compounds (0,01%)

  • Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and its compounds (0,01%)

  • Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) (0,01%)

  • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) (0,01%)

 

The "Conformity assessment system" has not been established yet but it will be defined by the government. For now, in phase one, where disclosure is all that is required, it is necessary to determine which hazardous substances are in the product. In phase two, where substance restriction becomes a requirement for products covered in the catalog, testing may be required. This is the next anticipated phase in the development of China RoHS 2 and will complete its evolution.

 

Requirements for the RoHS labelling

 

China RoHS 2 requires that all electronic and electrical products that are sold in the People’s Republic of China are marked with one of the two logos. The logo depends on whether a product contains any hazardous substances exceeding official concentration limits.

 

 

 

A label defines whether or not the products contain any of the six hazardous substances. If they are present, the "Environment Protection Use Period" (EFUP) must also be determined and marked. The Date of manufacture must be marked on the product if the EFUP label is required.

 

SJ/T 11364-2014 “Marking for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Product” specifies detailed marking requirements for hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products, the environmental protection use period, and recyclability.

Once China RoHS 2 wil become effective, SJ/T 11364-2014 will come into force as well.
