Update time : 2024-10-03

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) certification for circuit boards ensures that the board complies with the EU’s RoHS Directive, which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. ROHS certification is crucial for companies intending to sell electronic devices in the EU market, as non-compliant products cannot be legally sold in the EU.

Key Elements of RoHS Certification

The original RoHS Directive limits the maximum allowed concentration of six specific substances:

1. Lead (Pb)

2. Mercury (Hg)

3. Cadmium (Cd)

4. Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI))

5. Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

6. Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

 

RoHS 2.0 Directive, revised in 2015, adds four more restricted phthalates:

1. Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

2. Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP)

3. Diisobutyl Phthalate (DIBP)

4. Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP)

 

Circuit Board RoHS Certification Process

1. Application: Submit a RoHS certification application to a certification body.

2. Sample Submission: Provide circuit board samples as per the requirements.

3. Testing: A professional lab conducts chemical composition analysis to ensure compliance with the RoHS Directive.

4. Report: After testing, the lab issues a detailed report.

5. Evaluation & Audit: The certification body evaluates the report and conducts audits if necessary.

6. Certificate Issuance: Upon successful evaluation, the RoHS certificate is issued.

7. Labeling: Once certified, the RoHS label can be applied to the circuit board to indicate compliance.

 

ROHS Testing Cost for Circuit Boards

The cost of RoHS testing for circuit boards in China, provided by JJR Laboratory, ranges from $411 to $822.

 

Cost Factors

The cost of RoHS certification depends on several factors, including:

1. Testing Scope: Different types of circuit boards may require different tests.

2. Sample Quantity: Higher sample quantities may increase costs.

3. Certification Body: Different organizations have varying fee structures.

4. Expedited Service: If faster service is required, extra charges may apply.

 

For circuit board manufacturers, ensuring RoHS Compliance is not only a regulatory requirement but also a way to enhance market competitiveness and build consumer trust. By following the RoHS certification process, businesses can demonstrate that their products are environmentally friendly and suitable for sale in the EU market. For further details and accurate pricing, it’s advisable to contact professional certification bodies or testing laboratories.
