China's RoHS certification is a requirement of the "Catalogue for the Administration of the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" issued in 2019 by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The process and key points for obtaining a China RoHS test report for power tools are summarized in conjunction with the requirements of China's "Measures for the Administration of the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" (China RoHS 2.0):
I. Core Process
1. Selecting a Certification Body
- A third-party testing body approved by the China Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) must be employed (such as Dezewei Testing).
- Laboratories with CNAS/CMA accreditation are preferred to ensure the authenticity of the report.
2. Submitting Application and Documents
- Application Form: Fill in basic information such as product name, model, and bill of materials (BOM).
- Technical Documents: Provide a circuit diagram, parts list, and product manual.
- Sample Preparation: Split and ship representative samples according to the agency's requirements (different materials must be packaged and labeled separately).
3. Sample testing and classification
- Material separation: Split the sample into homogeneous materials (such as metal shell, plastic handle, wire coating, etc.).
- Test items:
- Metal material: Test 4 items (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium).
- Non-metal material: Test 6 items (add polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers).
- Limit requirements:
| Substance | Limit |
| Lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, etc. | ≤1000 ppm |
| Cadmium | ≤100 ppm |
4. Report issuance and labeling
- The test cycle is about 5-7 working days (routine samples) [[3][6]()].
- After passing the test, obtain the "Hazardous Substance Test Report" and a green "S" mark must be affixed to the product or packaging (indicating compliance with environmental protection requirements).
II. Fees and Considerations
1. Fee Structure
- Charges are based on the number of materials used (e.g., 1 metal + 2 plastics = ¥500-1500).
- Complex products (e.g., those containing circuit boards or batteries) may incur higher fees due to the increased number of disassembly and testing items.
2. Exemptions and Special Requirements
- Some materials may be exempted (e.g., lead in high-temperature solder); documentation supporting the exemption is required.
- The report is typically valid for one year (some clients or platforms require six-month or batch-by-batch updates).
3. Compliance Recommendations
- Prioritize purchasing RoHS-certified components to reduce testing costs.
- Maintain complete supply chain material declarations (e.g., environmental commitment letters provided by suppliers) for spot checks.
III. Comparison of Key Differences between China and the EU RoHS
| Project | China RoHS | EU RoHS
| Controlled Substances | 6 items (phthalates not mandatory) | 10 items (including 4 phthalates)
| Labeling Requirements | Green "S" Logo | CE Marking Includes RoHS Compliance
| Management Method | Self-Declaration + Market Supervision Spot Check | Mandatory CE Certification for Access
