A comprehensive guide to the China RoHS testing report for vacuum cleaners, outlining key compliance points and combining the latest "Administrative Measures for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" with practical experience. The guide highlights key risk areas and cost reduction strategies:
I. Core Requirements of China RoHS 2.0 (Differences from the EU)
| Controlled Substances | Limit Thresholds | High-Risk Components of Vacuum Cleaners
| Lead (Pb) | ≤0.1% | Solder, PVC Power Cord Sheath
| Cadmium (Cd) | ≤0.01% | Carbon Brushes (Motor), Masterbatch Pigments
| Mercury (Hg) | ≤0.1% | Switch Contacts, Fluorescent Indicator Lights
| Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | ≤0.1% | Metal Casing Plating, Screw Anti-Corrosion Coating
| Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs) | ≤0.1% | Circuit Board Flame Retardants
| Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) | ≤0.1% | Flame retardants for plastic casings
Note: China's RoHS requires companies to publicly declare compliance with SJ/T 11364 and affix labels to their products (the EU does not require labeling), and bans four phthalates, including DEHP, from 2025 (already implemented by the EU).
II. Test Report Processing (5-Step Closed-Loop)
Step 1: Material Separation and Sample Submission (Crucial to Success)
- Separation Principle: Separate according to homogeneous material
A [Complete Machine] --> B [Motor Assembly] --> C (Copper Wire Enamel/Carbon Brush/Solder)
A --> D [Circuit Board] --> E (Solder Resistance Ink/Component Leads)
A --> F [Shell] --> G (PP Main Material/Recycled Material/Masterbatch)
A --> H [Accessories] --> I (PVC Hose/PET Dust Collection Bag)
- Sample Quantity:
- Motor Carbon Brushes × 5 (Priority Testing)
- Shell Plastic Sheet ≥ 10 × 10 cm (Take 3 different parts)
- Complete Circuit Board × 2
Step 2: Testing Method and Institution Selection
- Method Standard:
- Heavy Metal Testing: GB/T 26125 (equivalent to IEC 62321)
- Exemption Criteria: GB/T 26572 (Material Exemption Rules)
- Recommended Laboratory:
DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration Number: L8083
- Cost Reference:
Basic Testing (6 items): ¥800-2000
Step 3: Typical Failure Points and Rectification Solutions
| Faulty Components | Excessive Substances | Solutions
| Brushed Motor Carbon Brushes | Cadmium (0.03%) | Replace with silver-copper alloy carbon brushes (cost +15%)
| Recycle Plastic Shells | Lead (0.15%) | Use new materials and request a RoHS declaration from the supplier
| Power Cord Sheath | DEHP (0.2%) | Replace with TPE material (plasticizer-free)
Step 4: Obtain Report and Label Compliance
- Report Time: Regular 7 working days (Express 3 days + 30% fee)
- Mandatory Labeling Requirements:
- Product body with green e-label (environmentally friendly usage period ≥ 10 years)
- Orange warning label on packaging (if containing restricted substances)
- Hazardous substance content table in the appendix of the Chinese instruction manual (template available in SJ/T 11364)
Step 5: Market Supervision and Continued Management
- Key Inspection Areas: Special inspections by the Market Supervision Bureau (2025 focus on vacuum cleaners/power tools)
- Annual Report Submission: Update compliance information on the Public Service Platform for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products before January 31st each year
III. Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement Strategies
1. Utilizing Exemption Clauses
- Lead Exemption for Copper Alloys (≤4%): Applicable to motor winding terminals (referencing GB/T 26572 7a clause)
- Cadmium Exemption for Stainless Steel (≤0.01%): Exempt from testing for metal structural components (material certificate required)
2. Supply Chain Collaborative Optimization
- Signing RoHS Agreement: Require suppliers to provide CNAS reports (accepting a validity period of 3 years)
- Raw Material Pre-inspection Database: Establish a whitelist for plastic/metal materials (reduce sampling frequency)
3. Cost Comparison of Alternative Solutions
| Solution | Carbon Brush (Cadmium Issue) | Shell Plastic (Phenylene Issue)
| Traditional Solution | Cadmium Carbon Brush (¥0.8/piece) | Recycled PP (¥12/kg)
| RoHS Compliant Solution | Silver-Copper Carbon Brush (¥1.2/piece) | Virgin PP + Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (¥18/kg)
| Cost Increase | +50% | +50%
