The complete process and key considerations of the 2026 China RoHS testing report for smartwatches, combined with current regulations and practical experience, are summarized as follows:
1、 Preparation before testing
1. Confirm product classification
Smart watches belong to the category of "communication equipment" in the "Management Measures for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" and are required to comply with China RoHS 2.0 (current version in 2026).
Exception: If it is a pure mechanical watch (without electronic module), no testing is required.
2. Material list organization
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all components are required, with a focus on:
Case/strap (metal/plastic may contain heavy metals);
Batteries (lithium batteries need to be tested for cadmium and lead);
Circuit board (solder, plating lead risk);
Screen (backlight module may contain mercury).
2、 Selection of Testing Institution
1. Qualification requirements
Choose a laboratory with CNAS accreditation and China RoHS special qualification (such as Dezewei Testing CNAS registration number: L8083).
New requirement in 2026: Some laboratories need to register with the "Green Testing Agency" of the State Administration for Market Regulation.
2. Customized testing plan
Typical testing items: 6 harmful substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE);
Extension suggestion: Increase screening for phthalates (such as plastic watch straps) and short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs).
3、 Inspection and testing process
1. Sample requirements
1-2 complete machines (must be able to be turned on) and key components (such as batteries and circuit boards) should be sent for separate inspection;
Complete packaging (including instructions and labels) is required.
2. Testing cycle and cost
Routine testing: 5-7 working days (urgent 3 days, cost+30%);
Reference cost: Approximately 1000-2000 yuan for the basic 10 tests.
4、 Report acquisition and compliance identification
1. Verification of report content
The confirmation report includes:
Laboratory CNAS number;
Testing data for each component (comparison of limit values);
Environmental protection usage period assessment (usually marked as "≥ 10 years").
2. Product identification requirements
Starting from 2026, it is required to meet the following requirements simultaneously:
Green "e" logo (compliant product);
QR code traceability (link to electronic version of test report).
5、 Subsequent compliance management
1. Supply chain control
Require suppliers to provide a material compliance statement (to be updated annually);
It is recommended to conduct random inspections on key components (such as batteries) in each batch.
2. Market supervision response
Retain the original test report for at least 5 years;
E-commerce platforms may require uploading RoHS reports (such as Tmall and JD's 2026 new regulations).
frequently asked questions
Q: Do imported smartwatches need to be tested?
A: Yes, a Chinese version of the RoHS report needs to be provided during customs clearance (domestic laboratories can be commissioned for re inspection).
Q: How to handle third-party accessories for watch straps?
A: It is necessary to conduct separate testing and indicate the exemption clause for "non original accessories", or request the supplier to provide a compliance report.
