What is the RoHS directive?
RoHS is the abbreviation of "The Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment". It is the European Union's regulation on electronic and electrical products and related chemical substances.
Which products need RoHS certification?
RoHS targets all electrical and electronic products that may contain six hazardous substances (10 substances under the control of 2019.7) in all production processes and raw materials, mainly including: white appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, etc., black appliances , Such as audio, video products, DVD, CD, TV receivers, IT products, digital products, communication products, etc.; electric tools, electric electronic toys, medical electrical equipment, etc.

Considering that it will take some time for companies to meet the new hazardous substance requirements, the corresponding transition period is stipulated in (EU) 2015/863:
From July 22, 2019, all electronic and electrical products exported to Europe (except medical and monitoring equipment) must meet this restriction;
From July 22, 2021, medical equipment (including external medical equipment) and monitoring equipment (including industrial monitoring equipment) will also be included in the scope of control.
In addition, DEHP, BBP, and DBP will not be subject to the control of this directive for toy products that are already regulated under Article 51 of REACH Annex XVII.
