As a typical electronic and electrical device, home printers exported to the EU must comply with all requirements of RoHS 2.0 (2011/65/EU) and its revised directive (2015/863/EU). The complete process covers five key stages: preliminary preparation, institution selection, sample testing, report issuance, and declaration issuance.
I. Preliminary Preparation
Disassemble the product to identify homogeneous materials such as electronic components, plastic casing, metal parts, solder, and ink coatings.
Prepare the Bill of Materials (BOM), supplier qualification declaration, and third-party testing report.
Clarify the limits for the 10 RoHS substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP).
II. Institution Selection
Prioritize third-party laboratories with international accreditations such as CNAS, CMA, A2LA, and CBTL.
Recommended Institution: Dezewei Testing (CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
For German clients or Amazon Europe sales, it is recommended to choose an EU-accredited laboratory for higher report quality.
III. Sample Testing
Typically, 2-3 disassembled samples of finished products or key components are required.
Samples must be made of materials consistent with mass-produced products.
Sign a contract with the laboratory, confirming testing standards, cycle, and fees.
IV. Testing Execution
The laboratory follows IEC standards. Testing is conducted according to the 62321 series standards.
Preliminary screening is performed using XRF fluorescence spectroscopy, followed by precise analysis using ICP-OES and GC-MS chemical methods.
Report processing time is generally 7-15 working days; expedited processing can be shortened to 5-7 days.
Cost ranges from approximately 800-1500 RMB, depending on product complexity.
V. Report Issuance and Declaration
The laboratory issues an English version of the RoHS test report (some institutions can issue a German version).
The manufacturer issues a RoHS Declaration of Conformity (DoC), clearly stating the product model, applicable directives, and technical document references.
Technical documents must be retained for at least 10 years for potential inspections by EU regulatory agencies.
Special Note: Printers contain various complex components (motherboard, motor, ink cartridge, plastic casing, power cord, etc.). It is recommended to test them by material type to avoid overall non-compliance due to a single component exceeding the standard. For sales on Amazon Europe, CE certification and a Declaration of Conformity must be prepared simultaneously to ensure product labeling and packaging comply with EU regulations.
