Guide to Obtaining China RoHS Test Reports for Household Storage-Type Electric Water Heaters
Household storage-type electric water heaters fall under the scope of products subject to mandatory China RoHS requirements (having been included in the "Catalog for the Management of Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (First Batch)"); therefore, they must obtain a compliant test report before being placed on the market. I. Testing Standards and Limit Requirements
Applicable Standards: GB/T 26125 "Determination of six regulated substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in electrical and electronic products"; GB/T 29786 "Determination of phthalates in electrical and electronic products"
Limit Standards: Limits for Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺), PBB, PBDE, DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP are all ≤1000 mg/kg; the limit for Cadmium (Cd) is ≤100 mg/kg.
Testing Scope: Whole-unit testing; samples are generally submitted as complete units but must be disassembled down to the homogeneous material level.
II. Required Documentation
1. Product manual (including model, specifications, and intended use)
2. BOM (Bill of Materials/Parts List, including supplier information)
3. Physical samples of the complete unit or critical components (generally 1–2 complete units or representative samples required)
5. Business license and trademark registration certificate (if applicable)
III. Testing Process
| Step | Content | Remarks
| 1. Select Agency | Choose a third-party laboratory with CMA/CNAS accreditation (Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
| 2. Submit Samples | Send samples + submit documentation | Testing turnaround is generally 5–7 working days
| 3. Testing | XRF preliminary screening + precise chemical testing | Disassemble to homogeneous material level for testing
| 4. Certification | Obtain test report with CMA/CNAS marks | Report validity is typically 1–3 years
IV. Requirements After Passing the Test
Affix the "Green Product" mark (i.e., the two-line green mark with the number "10" on the top line and the letter "e" on the bottom line, indicating 10) to the product or its packaging. (Product contains no hazardous substances)
Prepare and publish a hazardous substances declaration (self-declaration) and upload it to the relevant public service platform.
Keep test reports and declarations on file for reference; they must be presented during market surveillance inspections.
V. Reference Costs and Turnaround Times
Testing fee: Approx. 1,000–3,000 RMB per model (depending on the complexity of disassembly).
Additional testing for phthalates (4 specific types): If not included in the initial test, additional samples must be submitted for this specific analysis.
Turnaround time: Standard 5–7 working days; expedited 3–5 working days.
