EU RoHS Test Report for Headset Headphones
Date：2026-10-14 09:43:14 Classification
：【question】 Visits：
Headphones exported to the EU require a RoHS 2.0 test report; this is a mandatory certification based on EU Directive 2011/65/EU and its amending Directive 2015/863/EU, which restrict hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. I. RoHS 2.0 Restricted Substances
RoHS 2.0 requires testing for the following 10 categories of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products, such as headphones:
| Substance | Limit (mg/kg)
| Lead (Pb) | ≤1000
| Mercury (Hg) | ≤1000
| Cadmium (Cd) | ≤100
| Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) | ≤1000
| Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) | ≤1000
| Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) | ≤1000
| Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) | ≤1000
| Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) | ≤1000
| Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) | ≤1000
| Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) | ≤1000
II. Key Components of Headphones for Testing
As electrical and electronic products, headphones require the disassembly and testing of the following key components:
Housing and Headband: Plastics (ABS, PC, PA), metals (aluminum alloy, stainless steel), leather/PU materials
Speaker Unit: Magnet, diaphragm, coil
Cables and Connectors: PVC jacket, copper core, solder
Circuit Board (PCB): Substrate, solder, electronic components
Ear Cushions/Pads: Foam, silicone
Battery (if applicable): Lithium battery components
III. Certification Process
1. Preliminary Preparation
Provide product manual, BOM (Bill of Materials), and specifications
Prepare 2–3 complete samples
2. Laboratory Testing
Select a third-party laboratory with CNAS/CMA accreditation (Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083)
Testing turnaround time is typically 5–7 working days
A RoHS test report is issued upon successful completion of testing
3. Report Requirements
Must specify product name, model number, and manufacturer information
List test data for each component and compare against regulatory limits
Valid only when stamped and signed by the laboratory
IV. Testing Standards and Regulatory Basis
IEC 62321 series: Standards for hazardous substance testing methods
EN 50581: Standard for technical documentation preparation
2011/65/EU: RoHS 2.0 Directive (main directive)
2015/863/EU: Amending directive adding four phthalates
V. Compliance Recommendations
Source Control: Require suppliers to provide RoHS compliance certification when purchasing raw materials
Technical Documentation: Maintain complete records, including the Bill of Materials (BOM), test reports, and supplier declarations
Continuous Monitoring: Stay updated on EU RoHS directive revisions and adjust product designs accordingly
CE Marking: The RoHS report is a component of CE certification and must be integrated into the overall compliance system
