The ROHS certification promoted by China is also known as "China ROHS certification", which refers to the voluntary certification promoted by China for pollution control of electronic information products.
On February 28, 2006, the administrative measures for pollution control of electronic information products (hereinafter referred to as the administrative measures) was officially promulgated and took effect on March 1, 2007. The administrative measures determine that the control of six toxic and harmful substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) contained in electronic information products shall be carried out by means of catalogue management, and the use of these substances shall be prohibited or restricted step by step. In order to coordinate with the effective development and implementation of relevant work in the administrative measures, the implementation opinions on the voluntary certification for pollution control of electronic information products and the implementation rules for the voluntary certification for pollution control of electronic information products uniformly implemented by the state have been issued successively. The implementation rules have made clear provisions on the standards and technical specifications for certification.
On August 25, 2011, the national certification and Accreditation Commission and the Ministry of industry and information technology jointly determined and issued the implementation rules of the national unified voluntary certification for pollution control of electronic information products and the catalogue of the national unified voluntary certification for pollution control of electronic information products (the first batch).
The national promotion of ROHS certification is a certification activity that is implemented by the state and managed in a unified and standardized manner by the certification body to prove that relevant electronic information products comply with relevant pollution control standards and technical specifications. The national ROHS certification system adopts the principles of unified product catalogue, unified certification technical specifications, certification rules and conformity assessment procedures, and unified marks.
China promotes ROHS certification to fully implement the administrative measures for the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, which is used to strengthen the management of the catalogue for the management of the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, limit the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products from the source, reduce the environmental pollution caused by the waste of electronic information products, protect the environment and human health, promote the production and sales of low pollution electronic information products, Promote the healthy and sustainable development of the electronic information industry.
