Does a product have to have RoHS certification?

Views :
Update time : 2024-12-29

RoHS now impacts the entire electronics industry. Any company placing electronic products, sub-components, or components on the EU market must comply with these RoHS3 requirements, with exceptions for medical devices (including in vitro medical devices) and monitoring instruments (including industrial monitoring and control instruments). New products manufactured within the Union, as well as all products and components imported from third countries, must comply with the applicable Union harmonization legislation. Electronics manufacturers are required to maintain records to demonstrate compliance and retain the EU Declaration of Conformity for at least 10 years after the EEE is placed on the market.
