Amazon Data Cable Inspection: ROHS Certification

What is ROHS certification? ROHS certification, known as the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive, is a mandatory standard developed by the European Union legislation, July 1, 2006 began to officially implement it. It mainly regulates the material and process standards for electrical and electronic products, with the aim of protecting our health and also contributing to environmental protection. Simply put, it is to make our electronic products safer and more environmentally friendly ~

What are the ROHS certification testing standards? The ROHS2.0 standard is currently in effect and will be mandatory from July 22, 2019 onwards. The test items are mainly for the following 10 hazardous substances:

Lead (Pb): commonly used in solder, glass, PVC stabilizers, etc., the limit value is 0.1%, that is, 1000mg/kg.

Mercury (Hg): such as thermostats, sensors, switches and relays, bulbs and so on, may be used, the limit value is also 0.1%. Cadmium (Cd): can be found in switches, springs, connectors, housings, PCBs, etc., but it has a stricter limit of 0.01%, or 100mg/kg.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+): generally used in corrosion-attached coatings on metals, with a limit of 0.1%. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs): often used as flame retardants for PCBs, connectors, plastic housings, etc., limit value 0.1%. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs): similar to PBBs, also flame retardants, limit value 0.1%. Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): used as a plasticizer for PVC, limit value 0.1%. 2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP): Mainly used as a plasticizer for PVC, e.g. as an insulator for cables and wires, limit value 0.1%. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): Often used in combination with other plasticizers in PVC components such as cables, sockets, etc. Limit value 0.1%. Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP): mainly used as plasticizer in PVC flooring, synthetic leather and textile coatings in electrical and electronic equipment, limit value 0.1%. How long does it take to apply for a time limit? Under normal circumstances, Zhao qualified laboratory for ROHS certification, 5 - 7 working days will be able to issue a test report, do not wait for the product to be on the shelves before rushing to do the certification, delayed business is not good ~
