Q: How long is the RoHS test report valid?

A: The RoHS test report is for samples and is long-term effective. Secondly, ROHS itself is only based on the analysis of products. As long as your product materials, production processes and processes remain unchanged, the report can be long-term effective.

The official name of the new RoHS directive is "2011/65/EU Directive on Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Amendment)". The new RoHS directive is also known as RoHS2.0. After January 2013, it is printed with CE-marked electronic products must meet the requirements of this new directive.

    Some international well-known companies, when purchasing products, require that the report must be within one year, or within half a year, or some Korean companies will require within three months, and some companies even require that the report is only valid for a batch of goods. A batch of goods still need to re-process the test report. The purpose of this is to continuously monitor the stability of the supplier's products, which depends entirely on the buyer's requirements.

The RoHS standard has been formally implemented since July 1, 2006. It is mainly used to regulate the materials and process standards of electronic and electrical products, making it more conducive to human health and environmental protection. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic products (Note: The correct Chinese name of PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers are wrong ) A total of 6 substances, and stipulated that the lead content should not exceed 0.1%.

   Once the purchasing company finds that your product has been changed, such as production process changes, production process changes, or your material supplier changes, then you will be asked to re-test, these are the companies to protect themselves General enterprises require a validity period of one year. The RoHS standard may be updated once, and your product will need to be tested again for the new standard. In the process of continuously improving the RoHS standard, a new standard is issued, then the old test report will be invalidated and re-run The cycle will be updated in accordance with EU standards!

Important changes in RoHS 2.0, including the CE mark requirements, becoming one of the EU CE mark directives. In addition to the above electrical and electronic products, they must meet (LVD), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), energy-related products (ErP) and RoHS 2.0 directive requirements before they can paste CE In addition to the logo and the declaration of conformity, RoHS 2.0 also requires manufacturers to produce supporting technical documents and retain them for ten years.
