In recent years, domestic and foreign countries have begun to pay great attention to the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.
RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation. Its full name is the "Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Ingredients in Electronic and Electrical Equipment." Mainly used to standardize the material and process standards of electronic and electrical products, making them more conducive to human health and environmental protection.
The European Union, Japan and other developed countries have implemented the RoHS Directive, and adopted laws and regulations to restrict electrical and electronic manufacturers to reduce or avoid the use of harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and hexavalent chromium from the source to minimize the impact on the environment and human health. .
In response to this, my country has successively promulgated the "Administrative Measures for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products", the "Management Catalogue for the Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products", and "Implementation Arrangements for the Conformity Assessment System for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products." Regulations, standards and policies.
01 The new version of China RoHS standard
Some standards of the new version of China RoHS that have attracted much attention from enterprises have been released on December 14, 2020. A total of 5 of the 9 series of GB/T 39560 standards have been announced, which will be officially officially launched on July 1, 2021. Implement.
After the implementation of the GB/T 39560 series of standards, it will replace the current China RoHS supporting testing standards, and will achieve the consistency of the testing methods required by China RoHS and the European Union and other regions or countries.
02 The meaning of standards
China RoHS is an important measure for the electrical and electronic industry to achieve green and high-quality development.
my country is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of electrical and electronic products. The "Global E-waste Monitoring Report 2020" shows that since 2014, the total amount of global e-waste has increased year by year, and it has increased by 920 in 2019. 10,000 tons, an increase of nearly 2 million tons per year, and about 53.6 million tons of electronic waste (excluding photovoltaic panels) were generated in 2019.
After a large number of electrical and electronic products are discarded, if they are not properly disposed of, the harmful substances contained in them will eventually enter the soil and water, endangering the environment and human health.
This time, GB/T 26125-2011 (the current China RoHS supporting testing standard, equivalent to IEC 62321:2008) is revised, and the series of standards revised and released by IEC 62321 are adopted equivalently, in order to meet the industry's requirements for the restriction of new types of hazardous substances and The development of new detection technology, while keeping my country's RoHS detection technology and results consistent with the international.
03 Main updates
Compared with the current standard GB/T 26125-2011, the GB/T 39560 series of standards have some changes. The following is a summary of the new standard equivalent to the adoption of IEC 62321 and the differences with GB/T 26125-2011 for reference.
The following standards are in the state of approval and are expected to be released in the near future. Enterprises can pay attention to the release of standards.
