According to China's RoHS 2.0 (Regulations on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products), electric shavers, as electrical and electronic products, must undergo certification. Fees vary depending on the complexity of the product's materials, the testing items, and the laboratory's pricing strategy:
I. Basic Testing Fee Range
1. Single-Material/Simple Structure Products
- Fee: ¥1,500–¥2,500 per test (for shavers made of a single material or with few components).
- Applicable Scenario: Basic shavers (consisting of only a plastic shell and a metal blade).
2. Multi-Material/High-Risk Component Products
- Fee: ¥2,000–¥4,000 per test (requires separate testing of different material components, such as plastic, metal, and battery).
- Additional Item Examples:
- Lithium Battery Module: Add ¥800–¥1,500 (Short Circuit/Overcharge Safety Testing);
- Wireless Charging: Add FCC Certification Fee of ¥1,500–¥3,000 (If RF Module Included).
II. Key Factors Influencing Pricing
| Project | Reasons for Fee Fluctuations | Case Studies
| Number of Materials | Each additional material requires separate testing (e.g., silicone grip, coating) | Multi-material razors are 30–50% more expensive than single-material razors
| Color Variety | Different paint colors require separate testing for heavy metal leaching | Colored housings increase the cost by ¥200–¥500
| Laboratory Qualifications | DAkkS/CNAS-accredited agencies offer higher quotes, but their reports are more authoritative | Renowned laboratories charge a premium of approximately 20%
III. Practical Recommendations for Cost Optimization
1. Pre-test High-Risk Items
- Prioritize testing for materials prone to exceeding standards (e.g., phthalates in plastics, hexavalent chromium in metal plating). Each item costs approximately ¥300–¥800, avoiding retesting of all items.
2. Simplify the Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Consolidate material suppliers for the same batch of products to reduce the number of components tested.
3. Choose a combined certification service
- If CE/FCC certification is required simultaneously, some labs offer packaged pricing (e.g., RoHS + CE for a total of ¥3,500–¥5,000).
IV. Notes
- Cycle and cost correlation: Expedited service (3 business days) may increase costs by 30–50%, while standard service takes 5–7 days.
- Corrective costs: If the initial inspection fails.
- Certificate validity: China RoHS has no fixed validity period, but material changes require recertification.
> Note: The above fees are based on average market prices found in search results. For a specific quote, please provide the product's bill of materials (BOM) and design drawings for laboratory evaluation. It is recommended to prioritize CNAS-accredited institutions (such as Dezewei) to ensure the credibility of the report.
