The complete process and key points for obtaining an EU ROHS test report for mobile phone chargers are integrated from the latest EU directives and testing agency requirements:
I. Core Testing Requirements
Mobile phone chargers must pass the 10 hazardous substance tests specified in the ROHS 2.0 Directive (2011/65/EU):
1. Heavy Metals: Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)
- Cadmium limit ≤ 0.01% (100ppm); other ≤ 0.1% (1000ppm)
2. Flame Retardants: Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs)
3. Plasticizers: Phthalates (DEHP/BBP/DBP/DIBP)
- Four new limits, all ≤ 0.1%
> Special Note: Chargers with plastic casings/cables must be tested separately by material, with metal components (such as USB ports) and non-metallic components (such as PCBs) submitted for testing separately.
II. Application Process
1. Preliminary Preparation
- Provide a Bill of Materials (BOM) and indicate the material of each component.
- Prepare technical documents: circuit diagram, manual, supplier's raw material test report.
2. Sample Submission for Testing
- Sample Quantity: 3-5 complete chargers (different colors/models must be submitted separately).
- Laboratory Separation: Targeted testing by material type (e.g., plastic/metal/solder).
3. Laboratory Testing
- Method: XRF Scanning Screening + Chemical Dissolution Quantitative Analysis.
- Turnaround Time: 5-7 business days (normal).
4. Report Issuance
- Obtain an English test report indicating the hazardous substance content of each material.
- Report Validity Period: 1 year (assuming the standard has not been updated).
III. Fee Reference
| Test Type | Fee Range (RMB)
| Basic (Single Color/Single Material) | ¥800-¥1500
| Multiple Materials/Multiple Colors | +30%/Add New Materials
| Expedited Service +50% Fee
IV. Common Causes of Failure and Mitigations
1. Excessive Heavy Metal Content: Commonly found in recycled plastic casings (cadmium/lead residues)
- Countermeasure: Require suppliers to provide ROHS reports for raw materials
2. Excessive Phthalates: Excessive plasticizer additions to PVC cables
- Countermeasure: Replace with TPE/silicone materials
3. Hexavalent Chromium Residue: Substandard metal plating process
- Countermeasure: Use trivalent chromium passivation technology
V. Post-Certification Market Compliance
1. Products must bear the CE mark (height ≥ 5mm)
2. Include an environmental statement on the packaging:
> "Compliant with EU ROHS 2.0 Directive (2011/65/EU)"
3. Keep technical documents for at least 10 years for future reference
Next Action List:
1. Organize the charger BOM (mark all material suppliers);
2. Select an EU-accredited laboratory (Dezewei Testing is recommended);
