The European Union's RoHS (Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances) is a mandatory requirement set by the EU legislation to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). This directive is mainly used to standardize materials and process standards for electrical and electronic products to protect human health and the environment, and to recycle and dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The EU issued the original RoHS Directive version 2002/95/EC (RoHS 1.0) which was implemented on July 1, 2006. On June 8, 2011, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union issued a new version of the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2.0) to replace the old Directive 2002/95/EC, which came into effect on July 21, 2011. Subsequently, the 2015/863/EU Directive was amended to update RoHS 2.0 Appendix II with the addition of four restricted substances. So far, 10 substances have been reached in the Appendix II restriction list of RoHS 2.0.
On January 6, 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the United Nations Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine jointly announced the restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. The Administrative Measures for Use (Joint Ministerial Decree No. 32, hereinafter referred to as the “Administrative Measures”) was officially implemented on July 1, 2016.
REACH is an abbreviation of the European Union (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemical), and the Chinese name is "Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals". It is a unified chemical monitoring and management system established by the European Union based on long-term considerations for protecting human health and environmental safety, as well as improving the competitiveness of the EU chemical industry. REACH has replaced the current 40 EU regulations, which took effect on June 1, 2007.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) refer to a class of organic compounds having two or more benzene rings. The REACH Regulation Annex 17 (formerly 2005/69/EC) and the German GS certification have control over PAHs.
GS certification: In August 2014, the German Technical Equipment and Consumer Products Committee (ATAV) announced the standard AfPS GS 2014:01 PAK for the control requirements of 18 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in GS-certified products, in 2015 7 Enforced from the 1st of the month.
Annex 17 of the REACH Regulation: Limits on 8 types of PAHs in any plastic and rubber parts of controlled filling of tire filling oils, tire products and consumer products under normal or expected conditions of use for long-term or repeated direct or repeated direct contact with human skin or mouth.
Halogen is a non-metallic element of Group 7 (VIIA) of the Periodic Table of Elements, including five elements, such as fluorine (F), chlorine (CI), bromine (Br), sulfonate (I) and ruthenium (At). Halogen, since germanium is a radioactive element, halogen is often referred to as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and sulfon.
Halogen is used in flame retardants, refrigerants, solvents, organic chemical materials, pesticides, bleaches, wool degreasers, and the like. Halogen is toxic to the immune system, affects the endocrine system, affects reproduction and development, and has carcinogenic effects. Most halides are environmental hormones.
IEC 61249-2-21 of the IEC printed board material specifies chlorine <900ppm, bromine <900ppm, chlorine + bromine <1500ppm; many international companies have announced the halogen-free requirements specification, clearly defining that their products do not contain halogens ( Chlorine, bromine) related substances.
The EU Packaging Directive 94/62/EC is based on the requirements of environmental and life safety, rational use of energy and resources, and proposes all the links of packaging, packaging materials, packaging management, design, production, circulation, use and consumption. Requirements and goals to be achieved. EU Packaging Materials Directive (94/62/EC) Test objects include: product packaging carton, carton, wooden frame, film box, plastic bag, bubble bag, foam, polylon, fixture, sheet, rope, paint, ink , tape, glue, cable ties, labels, instructions. According to the eleventh paragraph of 94/62/EC, the total content of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium in packaging or packaging components shall not exceed 100 ppm.
The WEEE Directive is the abbreviation of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, and the Chinese name is "Electronic and Electrical Equipment Waste Directive". The WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC was launched in 2003. The main purpose of implementing the WEEE Directive is to prevent and treat electrical and electronic waste (WEEE), and to achieve reuse, recycling and other forms of recycling of these wastes to reduce waste disposal. At the same time, we also strive to improve the environmental behavior of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, such as producers, distributors, consumers, especially those directly involved in the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment. On July 24, 2012, the 2012/19/EU was replaced by the 2012/19/EU, which was officially implemented on February 15, 2014, and the 2002/96/EC was invalid.
The European Commission issued the Battery and Battery Directive 2006/66/EC on September 26, 2006. This directive will replace the Primary Battery Directives 91/157/EEC and 98/101/EC and will be implemented on September 26, 2008. The scope of the directive includes battery packs, portable batteries, car batteries and industrial batteries. On December 10, 2013, the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ) issued the new Directive 2013/56/EU to amend the Battery Directive 2006/66/EC. The new directive came into effect on July 1, 2015 and was revised to limit the use of mercury and cadmium. Final 2006/66/EC and 2013/56/EU limit requirements for hazardous substances: all batteries and batteries should not contain more than 0.0005% mercury, portable batteries and batteries (except emergency and early warning systems, emergency lighting equipment and medical equipment) Must not exceed 0.002%. For batteries and accumulators that do not meet this requirement and have entered the market before the relevant restrictions take effect, they can continue to be sold until the stock is sold out.
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are long-term, bioaccumulative, semi-volatile, and highly toxic, and can migrate over long distances through various environmental media (atmosphere, water, organisms, etc.). A natural or synthetic organic pollutant that poses a serious hazard to human health and the environment.
In 2004, the European Union signed the POP Protocol and the Stockholm Convention. In April of the same year, the European Union issued Regulation (EC) No 850/2004, which began to control POPs. Since then, with the progress of society and the development of technology, it has been revised and revised.
To date, a total of 24 substances in the POPs Annex I Prohibited List are: tetrabromodiphenyl ether, pentabromodiphenyl ether, hexabromodiphenyl ether, heptabromodiphenyl ether, perfluorosulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS), DDT, chlordane, hexachlorocyclohexane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachloride, endosulfan, hexachlorobenzene, chlordecone, aldrin, pentachlorobenzene, polychlorinated biphenyl, extinction Ant, toxaphene, hexabromobiphenyl, hexabromocyclododecane, hexachlorobutadiene, polychlorinated naphthalene, short-chain chlorinated paraffin.
California Proposition 65, also known as the 1986 Drinking Water Safety and Toxic Substances Enforcement Act, was passed by a California resident vote, was implemented in November 1986, and was compiled into the California Health and Safety Code at 6.6. Chapters 25249.5~25249.14. Its purpose is to protect California residents and the state's drinking water sources so that the water source does not contain substances known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive development hazards, and requires companies to inform residents in the event of such substances.
California 65 requires the government to publish at least once a year "a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity in California", referred to as the California 65 list, which has been published by nearly a thousand chemicals. If the enterprise uses the substances in the list, it must give a “clear and reasonable” warning, otherwise the relevant companies must use scientific data to prove that the substance concentration is in the normal use of the consumer, and its intake is less than the safe harbor value. (safe harbor level).
California 65 regulates jewelry, clothing, bags, sports mats, toys and childcare products, ceramic glassware, aluminum cookware, bicycles and accessories, electrical installations, wires and cables, and covers almost all products. And list the exposure scenarios of dangerous goods. At present, California 65 controls the harmful substances in products, often referring to existing litigation or settlement agreements for such products, reaching the limit requirements and test methods for certain substances in certain products. When conducting compliance with CP 65, enterprises should first compare the material control requirements determined in the litigation cases of existing products, and then refer to this control to investigate the harmful substances in the products.
