To August 13, 2004 will be implemented state laws to prohibit these substances are used in the rated voltage not exceeding 1000 volts alternating current product, does not exceed 1,500 volts of direct current products as well as the following products (allowing some exceptions), until the July 1, 2006:
1. Large Appliances
2. Small Home Appliances
3.IT and telecommunications equipment
4. Home appliances
5. Lighting equipment
6. Electrical and electronic tools (excluding large-scale stationary industrial tools)
1. What is RoHS? RoHS is "electrical and electronic equipment Restrictions on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive" (the Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) abbreviation. 2. Of hazardous substances is what? RoHS list a total of six hazardous substances, including: lead Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury, Hg, hexavalent chromium Cr6 +, PBDE PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB. 3. Why launch of RoHS? The first time, noted that electrical and electronic equipment contains harmful heavy metals on human health and the Netherlands in 2000, a group of cable market of game consoles found in cadmium. In fact, the electrical and electronic products in the production of the current large-scale use of solder, packaging printing inks contain harmful heavy metals such as lead. 4. When the implementation of RoHS? The EU will be July 1, 2006 implementation of RoHS, when the use of or contains heavy metals and polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE, polybrominated biphenyls PBB and other flame retardants in electrical and electronic products will be allowed to enter the EU market. 5. RoHS specifically related to those products? RoHS for all production processes and raw materials may contain hazardous substances in the above-mentioned six kinds of electrical and electronic products, mainly including: White home 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 6. The progress of the current RoHS? Some large companies have begun to take note RoHS and response measures, such as SONY's digital camera has been declared on the packaging: This product is lead-free soldering; use of lead-free ink. Ministry of Information Industry in 2004 also introduced the "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Management Measures" content and RoHS is similar, and in October set up the "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Standards Working Group" to study and establish the conditions of our country's Electronic Information Products Pollution prevention and control standard system; to carry out pollution prevention and control and electronic information products, research and manufacturing relating to the revision of standards, in particular, urgently needed to accelerate development of industrial materials, processes, terminology, test methods and test methods and other basic criteria.
