Tablet computers need to follow the following processes and standards for ROHS environmental certification testing in the EU:
1. Introduction to RoHS certification:
- RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation, and its full name is "Restriction of Hazardous Substances". This standard has been implemented since July 1, 2006, and aims to standardize the materials and process standards of electronic and electrical products and eliminate harmful substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic products.
2. Scope of application:
- Including electronic consumer products (such as smartphones, tablets, etc.), household appliances, IT equipment, lighting products, communication equipment, etc.
3. Certification process:
- Sample collection: The company provides product samples, including all materials and components.
- Hazardous substance testing: The laboratory tests the harmful substances in the sample, including lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
- Test report: The laboratory issues a test report that lists the content of each harmful substance in the sample in detail.
- Compliance assessment: According to the test report results, determine whether the sample meets the ROHS certification standards.
4. Required information:
- Samples need to be sent to the laboratory for testing.
- If the product is complex, a list of parts or a BOM list of the product is required, and the materials of each part are marked.
5. Issuing agency:
- ROHS certification is generally issued by a testing agency, and there are also third-party testing agencies.
6. Certification cycle:
- The certification cycle is 4-7 working days.
7. Test items and limit regulations:
- Lead (Pb) limit 0.1%, cadmium (Cd) limit 0.01%, mercury (Hg) limit 0.1%, hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) limit 0.1%, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) limit 0.1%, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) limit 0.1%.
Through the above process and standards, the tablet computer can complete the EU ROHS environmental certification test to ensure that the product meets the requirements of the EU market.
