First, the EU ROHS certification introduction

ROHS is a mandatory standard set by the EU legislation. Its full name is the Restriction of Hazardous Substances, which is mainly used to regulate the materials of electrical and electronic products. Process standards make it more conducive to human health and environmental protection. Battery products entering European products require ROHS certification. 

Second, the battery ROHS certification standard

RoHS 2.0 (ie Directive 2011/65/EU)

Third, the battery ROHS certification test project

Lead (Pb): ≤ 0.1%;

Mercury (Hg): ≤ 0.1%;

Cadmium (Cd): ≤0.01%;

Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI): ≤ 0.1%;

Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs): ≤0.1%;

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs): ≤ 0.1%;

Dihexyl (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): ≤ 0.1%;

Butyl phthalate (BBP): ≤ 0.1%;

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP): ≤ 0.1%;

Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): ≤ 0.1%

Fourth, battery ROHS certification method

1. Chemical testing;

Chemical detection according to each homogeneous sampling, pre-treatment, digestion, testing, accurate data

2. XRF scans total Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, BR;

XRF scanning is the definition of sample material abstraction using XRF scanner to determine whether there are five elements, such as sample composition is not uniform, it is invalid;

3. Chemical detection + XRF scanning;

For the ROHS detection of the customer's finished product, multiple homogeneous detections are split. In order to save costs, the XRF scan is used to determine whether the element is contained, and the data is tested according to the chemical detection process.

4. ROHS report integration;

When the customer can provide ROHS report of each homogeneous material in the finished product, it can be integrated into the finished ROHS report;

5. ROHS certificate;

Each homogeneous material of the product complies with ROHS standards and can be issued with a ROHS certificate.

6.ROHS logo

Incorporate ROHS compliance of electrical and electronic equipment into the CE marking requirements.

But currently, the word ROHS is usually directly attached.

V. Battery ROHS certification process

1. Fill in the service application form;

2. Sign the contract and pay:

3. Send samples;

4 sample test;

5. Issue a report.

Sixth, battery ROHS certification information

Service application form, BOM, sample.

Seven, battery ROHS certificate validity period

It is valid for one year.
