Guidelines for Obtaining EU RoHS Testing Reports for Charging Accessories
I. Scope of Application
Charging accessories fall under the category of information technology and communication equipment and accessories regulated by the RoHS Directive, primarily including:
Chargers (Mobile Phones/Laptops/Universal)
Charging Cables/Data Cables
Power Banks (Power Banks)
Wireless Chargers
Car Chargers
Plugs, Adapters
Testing Standards
II. Main Standards:
| Standard | Scope of Application
| IEC 62321 Series | Internationally Accepted Test Method Standards
| EN 62321 Series | Harmonized Standards Adopted by the EU
| 2011/65/EU + 2015/863 | RoHS 2.0/3.0 Directive Body
III. Processing Procedure (6 Steps)
Step 1: Prepare Documents
Product Manual (material specifications)
BOM (Bill of Materials) (Crucial)
Samples (3-5 finished products recommended for disassembly and testing)
Step 2: Select a Testing Institution
Prioritize laboratories with CNAS and CMA accreditations (DEZEW Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
It is recommended to choose an institution with EU cooperation background for easier report mutual recognition.
Mail samples and fill out the testing application form.
Step 3: Sample Disassembly and Classification
The laboratory will disassemble the samples according to homogeneous materials according to RoHS requirements. Typical disassembly parts include:
Outer shell plastic (ABS, PC, etc.)
PCB circuit board and solder
Metal plug/interface
Internal copper wires, coils
Insulation layer, rubber parts
Labels, ink
Charging accessories typically require disassembly of 5-15 parts, with each part tested separately for 10 substances.
Step 4: Laboratory Testing
Preliminary screening using XRF (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy) + precise quantification using ICP-OES, GC-MS, etc.:
Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium → Metals
PBB, PBDE → Flame Retardants
4 Phthalate Specimens → Plasticizers
Step 5: Report Issuance
Testing Cycle: 5-7 working days (routine)
Report Language: Bilingual (Chinese and English) preferred
Includes: Test results, limit comparison, compliance determination
Step 6: Report Application
Necessary supporting documents for affixing the CE marking
For EU customs inspections
For auditing by platforms such as Amazon
For exporter/manufacturer archiving
IV. Key Considerations
1. Authenticity of the BOM List: The laboratory may conduct focused testing based on the BOM; false reporting will invalidate the report.
2. Homogeneous Material Principle: Each material should be judged independently. For example, excessive lead content in a metal plug does not mean the entire product is non-compliant.
3. Series and Model Coverage: Different models within the same series can be bundled for application to reduce costs.
4. Report Validity: Usually valid for 1 year; it is recommended to apply within 3 months before export.
5. Supporting Documents: It is recommended to apply for CE-EMC, LVD, and other tests simultaneously to form a complete CE technical document.
V. Fees and Timeframe Reference
| Item | Scope
| Single Product | 1500-3500 RMB (depending on the disassembled parts)
| Timeframe | 5-7 working days, expedited 3-day service available
| Report Language | Chinese / English / Bilingual (Chinese and English)
Practical Suggestions
First-time exporters: It is recommended to conduct a full-item test on a sample unit as basic data.
Bulk shipments: A RoHS compliance agreement can be signed with the supplier, and raw material testing reports can be requested.
Platform sales: Platforms such as Amazon and Temu have strengthened RoHS compliance reviews for electronic products.
EU Sole Representative: Non-EU manufacturers must designate an Authorised Representative.
