China RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances) testing standards, namely the "Measures for the Administration of Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products", are a regulation formulated by the Chinese government to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances in electronic information products. This standard applies to electronic information products, including complete machines, assemblies, components, parts, materials and other products. The following is a detailed description of the China RoHS testing standards for sports equipment:
Overview of China RoHS Testing Standards
The full name of the China RoHS standard is the "Voluntary Certification for Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products" (referred to as the National RoHS Certification). The standard aims to reduce or eliminate the following six hazardous substances in electronic information products (China RoHS restricted substances increased to 10 items, and the implementation date is January 1, 2026):
- Lead (Pb)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
- Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
- Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)
Testing items
According to the China RoHS standard, the items that need to be tested for sports equipment include the above six hazardous substances. The specific test items are as follows:
1. Sample preparation: Prepare corresponding samples according to product type and material.
2. Sample decomposition: Decompose the sample into homogeneous materials.
3. Sample pretreatment: Pre-treat the sample, such as digestion, extraction, etc.
4. Sample testing: Use chemical analysis methods or XRF scanners to test the sample to detect the content of harmful substances.
5. Data analysis: Analyze the test data to determine whether it meets the China RoHS standard.
6. Issue a report: Issue a test report based on the test results.
Conclusion
When sports equipment is tested for RoHS in China, it is necessary to follow the provisions of the "Measures for the Control of Pollution from Electronic Information Products" to test the content of 6 hazardous substances (China's RoHS restricted substances have increased to 10 items, and the implementation date is January 1, 2026), and ensure that they do not exceed the prescribed limits. Enterprises can choose professional certification agencies to conduct testing to ensure that the products meet China's RoHS standards and enter the market smoothly.
