The country promotes ROHS certification to control and reduce the pollution caused to the environment by electronic information products after being abandoned. The purpose of the country's ROHS certification is to reduce or eliminate 6 substances in electronic information products: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated biphenyl ethers. The national RoHS certification system adopts the principles of a unified product catalog, unified certification technical specifications, certification rules, conformity assessment procedures, and unified markings.

In 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other nine ministries and commissions compiled the "Catalogue of Management for the Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances for Electrical and Electronic Products (First Batch)" and the "Catalogue of Application Exceptions for Restricted Substances for Standards for the Compliance Management Catalog", requiring that for products included in the catalog, the content of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers should comply with the relevant standards for the restricted use of hazardous substances for electrical and electronic products, and be included in the management scope of the management system for the display of hazardous substances for electrical and electronic products.

The National ROHS will be enforced on November 1, 2019. All products in the "Catalogue of Management for the Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products (First Batch)" should meet the requirements of the National ROHS regulations.

China promotes ROHS certification model

Model 1: Type test + post-certification supervision [Applicable components and components products, materials products]

Model 2: Sampling test + post-certification supervision [Applicable components and components products]

Model 3: Optimization test + post-certification supervision [Applicable to whole machine products and component products]

Model 4: Sampling test + initial factory inspection + post-certification supervision [all products within the scope of applicable rules]

The first batch of ROHS (Category 12) compulsory products are promoted by the state: refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, electric water heaters, printers, copiers, fax machines, TVs, monitors (including monitors, display screens, etc.), microcomputers (including desktop computers, notebooks, tablets and other PCs), mobile communications handhelds, and telephone stand-alone phones.
