根據中國RoHS標準,只有第一批合規管理目錄中所列的電氣和電子產品,以及2019年11月1日之後製造或進口的電氣和電子產品,才必須進行合格評定。這可以通過兩種方法完成,即自願認證或自我聲明,由製造商/供應商自行決定。在最近的公告之前,產品必須按照GB/T 26125進行測試。

 

China’s National Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) has announced a change in the applicable conformity assessment system testing methods under China RoHS, effective from 1 March 2024.

In order to be consistent with international standards for testing methods of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, the testing method standard for the conformity assessment system for restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, currently GB/T 26125, is being modified to the GB/T 39560 series of standards for the determination of substances, specifically the following 8 standards:

GB/T 39560.1 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 1:Introduction and overview

GB/T 39560.2 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 2: Disassembly, disjointment and mechanical sample preparation

GB/T 39560.301 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 3-1: Screening lead, mercury, cadmium, total chromium and total bromine by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

GB/T 39560.4 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 4: Mercury in polymers, metals and electronics by CV-AAS, CV-AFS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS

GB/T 39560.5 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 5: Cadmium, lead and chromium in polymers and electronics and cadmium and lead in metals by AAS, AFS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS

GB/T 39560.6 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 6: Polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

GB/T 39560.701 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 7-1: Hexavalent chromium—Presence of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in colourless and coloured corrosion-protected coatings on metals by the colorimetric method

GB/T 39560.702 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products—Part 7-2: Hexavalent chromium—Determination of hexavalent chromium [Cr()] in polymers and electronics by the colormetric method

The GB/T 39560 series corresponds to the IEC 62321 series of standards.

It will be recalled that under China RoHS conformity assessment is mandatory only for electrical and electronic products listed in the first batch of the Compliance Management Catalogue and manufactured or imported after 1 November 2019. This can be done through two approaches, either voluntary certification or self-declaration, at the discretion of manufacturers/suppliers. Until this recent announcement, products were required to be tested in accordance with GB/T 26125.

 

The transition is being implemented as follows:

  • Starting from 1 March 2024, the testing methods for conducting conformity assessment activities for the restricted use of hazardous substances will be implemented in accordance with the GB/T 39560 series of standards.
  • Before 1 March 1 2024, if the conformity assessment is completed in accordance with GB/T 26125, the standard conversion will be completed through normal transition methods such as expiration of certificate renewal, product change, etc.
  • Products that have been shipped or imported before 1 March 2024 do not need to undergo standard conversion.

Other planned revisions to China’s RoHS are in progress, including the addition of four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP) to the hazardous substance list of China RoHS and development of a mandatory standard for hazardous substances restriction and labelling, effectively combining existing Standards SJ/T 11364 and GB/T 26572.
