Guide to Compliance with EU RoHS Report for Small Computer Speakers
I. Product Suitability Analysis
Small computer speakers fall under the overlap of Category 2 (small household appliances) and Category 3 (IT and communication equipment) of the RoHS Directive, and are explicitly subject to RoHS (Directive 2015/863/EU). Compliance must be completed before entering the EU market.
II. Core RoHS Testing Requirements
| Item | Requirements
| Applicable Directive | 2011/65/EU + 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3)
| Restricted Substances | 10 (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, 4 phthalates)
| Limit Standards | Cd ≤ 100 ppm; the other 9 ≤ 1000 ppm
| Testing Principles | Test all homogeneous materials separately
| Applicable Objects | Finished products + internal components + Accessories (Power cord, remote control, etc.)
III. Compliance Process
Step 1: Product Disassembly and Bill of Materials
Disassemble the speaker into homogeneous material units.
Compile a Bill of Materials (BOM) and identify all components.
Focus on: Circuit board, solder, speaker magnet, casing plastic, USB/audio cable, battery (if any).
Step 2: Sample Testing
Select a third-party laboratory with CNAS/CMA accreditation (Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083).
Common testing standards: IEC 62321 Series
Provide sufficient samples (usually 5-10g per material)
Step 3: Report Issuance
Obtain a RoHS compliance test report after passing the test.
The report is usually valid for 1-2 years (depending on laboratory and purchaser requirements).
Step 4: Technical Documentation Preparation
RoHS Test Report
Material Declaration Form (if required)
Supplier Raw Material Compliance Certificate
Process Flow Description
Step 5: Signing and Affixing CE Marking
Prepare the EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
Affix the CE Marking
The entire process usually takes 5-7 working days.
IV. Key Considerations
1. Whole Machine Testing vs. Material Testing: It is recommended to combine random whole machine testing with individual testing of key components (PCB, solder joints, plastic casing, wiring).
2. Cadmium's Special Nature: Audio electronic components contain fewer cadmium, but attention should be paid to the possibility of cadmium in batteries and solder.
3. Packaging Materials: Transport packaging must also comply with relevant directives (such as Packaging Directive 94/62/EC).
4. Testing Cycle: For routine products 5-7 business days
5. Cost Reference: RoHS testing cost for a single product is approximately 500-2000 RMB, depending on the complexity of the product.
