Guide to Obtaining China RoHS Test Reports for Laser Printers
I. Regulatory Basis
China RoHS is primarily governed by the *Administrative Measures for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products* (Joint Order No. 32 [2017] issued by the MIIT and other ministries). Laser printers fall under the category of information technology equipment and are explicitly included in the second batch of the Management Catalogue (effective March 12, 2018); therefore, they must comply with China RoHS requirements.
II. Testing Standards and Limit Requirements
In accordance with the national standard GB/T 26125-2011 (which is identical to IEC 62321), laser printers must be tested for the following hazardous substances:
| Hazardous Substance | Limit |
| Lead (Pb) | 0.1% (1000 mg/kg)
| Mercury (Hg) | 0.1%
| Cadmium (Cd) | 0.01% (100 mg/kg)
| Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | 0.1%
| Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) | 0.1%
| Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) | 0.1%
Note: Laser printers typically contain components such as lead-based solder, cadmium-based pigments in toner, and photosensitive drum coatings, which are key targets for testing. III. Application Process (5 Steps)
1. Prepare Documentation
Business license; product manual
Bill of Materials (BOM) and supplier RoHS declarations
Material certificates for key raw materials (e.g., plastic parts, metal parts, toner, photosensitive drums, etc.)
2. Submit Samples for Testing
Submit the complete unit or disassembled components to a third-party testing agency with CMA/CNAS accreditation (e.g., Dezewei Testing, CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Testing typically focuses on homogeneous materials (plastic casings, solder, coatings, cables, etc.)
3. Report Issuance
Upon passing the test, the agency issues a "RoHS Compliance Test Report" (Chinese version)
The report is typically valid for one year (re-testing is required upon expiration)
4. Labeling
Affix the orange "e" mark (environmental protection symbol) to the product itself or include a declaration in the manual
Make labeling declarations in accordance with the SJ/T 11364-2014 standard
5. Supervision and Management
Subject to national and provincial spot checks by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR)
IV. Reference for Testing Costs and Turnaround Time
| Item | Scope
| Cost | Approx. 1,000–3,000 RMB for a complete unit (depending on disassembly complexity)
| Turnaround Time | 5–7 working days (approx. 3 days for expedited service)
| Sample Quantity | 1–2 complete units + several key components
