Guide to EU RoHS Hazardous Substance Testing Reports for Men's Shavers
I. Applicability Confirmation
Men's shavers (electric shavers) fall under the "small household appliances" category regulated by the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) and must pass RoHS hazardous substance testing to enter the EU market.
Manual safety razors (blade-based) generally do not require an RoHS report as they contain no electrical or electronic components; however, compliance with the REACH regulation must be considered. II. Testing Items (10 Mandatory Requirements)
| Substance Category | Specific Substance | Limit
| Heavy Metals | Lead (Pb) | 0.1%
| Heavy Metals | Cadmium (Cd) | 0.01%
| Heavy Metals | Mercury (Hg) | 0.1%
| Heavy Metals | Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | 0.1%
| Flame Retardants | Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs) | 0.1%
| Flame Retardants | Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) | 0.1%
| Plasticizers | DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP | 0.1% each
III. Core Report Content
1. Product Information: Model, brand, sample description
2. Bill of Materials (BOM): Housing, cutter head, battery, motor, PCB, charging base, etc.
4. Testing Methods: XRF preliminary screening + ICP-OES/ICP-MS precise analysis
5. Test Results: Substance content listed by component
6. Compliance Determination: Comparison against limits; clear "compliant" or "non-compliant" conclusion
7. Agency Seal/Signature: CMA + CNAS + ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation seals (Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
IV. Testing Process and Timeline
Process: Application → Sample submission → Disassembly → Sample preparation → Testing → Report issuance
Timeline: Standard 5–7 working days; expedited 3 working days
Cost: Approx. 1,000–3,000 RMB (depending on material complexity)
V. Key Components of Shavers to Monitor
Plastic Housing: Plasticizers (4 types of phthalates)
Charging Base: Lead and cadmium in the PCB
Battery Assembly: Lead, mercury, and cadmium
Metal Blades/Foil: Nickel release (must also comply with REACH)
Motor Components: Heavy metals and flame retardants
VI. Advice on Selecting a Testing Agency
Prioritize testing agencies with the following accreditations:
✅ ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratory Accreditation
✅ Dual accreditation: CNAS + CMA
✅ Reports directly accepted by Amazon EU marketplaces and EU customs authorities
✅ Bilingual reports (Chinese and English)
