In global trade, RoHS certification is the "eco-friendly identity card" for electronic and electrical products. The European market is vast, but the RoHS directive requires the restriction of hazardous substances, with fines reaching several hundred thousand euros for non-compliance. The process of handling RoHS testing can be complex, often leaving businesses unsure of where to start and delaying business opportunities.
How to handle RoHS testing?
The answer is four steps:
1. Choose a third-party laboratory with complete qualifications, such as Ningbo Huabiao Testing;
2. Fill out the RoHS test application form, describing the product category (such as mobile phones or home appliances);
3. Send the sample for testing by the laboratory, which conducts screening for 10 substances;
4. Review the report and obtain a compliance statement. The entire process takes only 5-7 working days, with costs depending on the complexity of the product.
The guide for handling is super simple! First, self-inspect your supply chain to ensure that raw materials are lead and mercury-free; then, the laboratory will help you disassemble and test everything, from the casing to the circuit board. Many small and medium-sized enterprises share that although the first time they handle it is stressful, once the report comes out, orders double. RoHS testing not only complies with regulations but also optimizes design, making products lighter and greener.
