electric blanket rohs testing

An electric blanket is a contact-type electric heating device,

It is woven or sewn into a blanket using special serpentine heating elements with standard insulation performance.

Due to the recent energy crisis in the EU, the demand for heating equipment in the EU has surged,

Many electric blankets are sold out. Exporting electric blankets to the EU requires CE certification + ROHS Testing

to successfully enter the EU market. China JJR Laboratory provides you with a detailed introduction.

What is the European CE Certification?

The CE mark is a conformity indicator, meaning the product complies with European regulations,

It applies to all products under any European directive.

In such cases, the CE marking is mandatory for these products.

Products bearing the CE mark are not necessarily manufactured in Europe,

This label proves that the product has been assessed before being introduced and/or sold in Europe.

Electric blankets generally operate at 220V and must comply with the LVD Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU

and EMC Directive (2014/30/EU).

Two test reports are required to issue the CE certificate, and the product must be labeled with the CE mark.

CE Certification Testing Standards for Electric Blankets:

EN55014-1

EN55014-2

Materials Required for CE Certification of Electric Blankets:

1. Application form

2. Label

3. Circuit diagram

4. List of critical components

5. Product specification

6. User manual

ROHS certification for Electric Blankets:

Electric blankets exported to the EU must comply with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU,

Test standard: EN 63000:2018. Currently tests for the content of 10 hazardous substances:

1. Lead (Pb)

2. Cadmium (Cd)

3. Mercury (Hg)

4. Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)

5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)

6. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)

7. Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)

8. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)

9. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)

10. Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP)

Testing limits: Chromium must not exceed 0.01%, others must not exceed 0.1% (1000 PPM or 1000 mg/kg).
