The entire process of RoHS hazardous substance testing for game controllers exported to the EU is integrated from the EU directive requirements and industry practical guidelines:
I. Preliminary preparation stage
1. Bill of materials (BOM table)
- List the materials of all components of the controller in detail (plastic shell, metal parts, circuit boards, solder, etc.), and indicate the chemical composition of each material.
- Suppliers need to provide a RoHS compliance statement for raw materials (proving that the materials meet the limit requirements).
2. Select a certification body
- Recognize a laboratory with ISO/IEC 17025 qualifications (such as Dezewei Testing Agency).
- Sign a testing agreement and pay the fee.
II. Testing execution stage
1. Sample splitting and inspection
- Split samples according to "uniform material" (such as separating plastic buttons, circuit boards, cables, etc.).
- Submit 2-4 complete controllers to the laboratory for inspection.
2. Hazardous substance testing items
Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), n-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), (2-hexyl) hexyl phthalate (DEHP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
3. Testing methods and cycles
- Use XRF screening + chemical analysis (such as GC-MS/LC-MS) for precise quantification.
- Regular cycle: 5-7 working days (complex products may be extended).
III. Certification and follow-up management
1. Obtain compliance documents
- Test report: List all material test data and judgment results.
- RoHS Declaration of Compliance (DoC): Formal compliance document signed by the company.
2. Marking and market access
- After certification, the CE-RoHS mark can be affixed to the product/package.
- Keep technical documents (including BOM, test report, DoC) for future reference, as EU market regulators may conduct random inspections.
