1, the EU RoHS directive harmful substances
The EU RoHS Directive (2002/95 / EC, on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products Directive) on July 1, 2006 after the formal implementation in the world caused a huge impact and set off in the electrical and electronic industry Product of the prelude to the green revolution.
The Directive requires that the electronic and electrical products sold in the market of EU Member States shall not contain six toxic and hazardous substances or elements such as lead Pb, mercury Hg, cadmium Cd, hexavalent chromium Cr6 +, polybrominated biphenyl PBB and polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE.
After a nearly three-year revision process, the EU issued its Directive 2011/65 / EU (RoHS 2.0) on July 1, 2011 in its official gazette to replace the original directive. The new RoHS Directive was implemented on January 3, 2013. Although the new directive to maintain the original requirements of the six hazardous substances, but selected four substances (HBCDD, DBP, BBP, DEHP) as a new restricted substance candidate.

Before the change:
Mainly for electrical and electronic products of lead Pb, cadmium Cd, mercury Hg, hexavalent chromium Cr6 +, PBBs polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDEs six kinds of harmful substances to limit.
After the change:
June 4, 2015, through the official website of the European Commission official release RoHS 2.0 revised edition, mainly for the amendment to Appendix II, four new substances: DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP, the limits are 0.1wt% ( 1000ppm), directive on June 24, 2015 came into effect, that is, RoHS 2.0 directive standard test items accumulated to 10 kinds of restricted substances.
2, China RoHS directive harmful substances detection
"Electronic Information Products Pollution Control Management Measures", also known as "China RoHS", in March 1, 2007 began. It limits the use of hazardous substances (mercury, lead, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, etc.) in electronic information products placed on the Chinese market.
China RoHS control method is divided into two steps:
The first step is the post-market management, requirements from March 1, 2007 onwards, the Chinese market of electronic information products shall be in accordance with the "electronic information products, pollution control labeling requirements" for self-declaration;
The second step is the market access management, will be included in the "electronic information products, pollution control key management directory" of electronic information products, electronic information products must meet the "toxic and hazardous substances in the limited requirements", and through RoHS compulsory certification Qualified before entering the Chinese market.
"Hazardous substances in electronic information products, the limited requirements," the types of hazardous substances and harmful substances limited by the EU RoHS directive consistent.
