What are the certifications for exporting health products to the EU? EU certification for food exports
Need to apply for ROHS certification and REACH certification for export of health products to the EU?
Introduction to ROHS:
RoHS is a mandatory standard established by EU legislation. Its full name is "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). The standard has been officially implemented on July 1, 2006, and is mainly used to standardize the material and process standards of electrical and electronic products, making it more conducive to human health and environmental protection. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electrical and electronic products (note: the correct Chinese name of PBDE refers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, which is a false statement ) There are 6 substances in total, and it is specifically stipulated that the lead content should not exceed 0.1%.
2. Six types of hazardous substances:
RoHS targets all electrical and electronic products that may contain the above six hazardous substances in the production process and raw materials, mainly including: white household appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, etc., black household appliances, such as audio and video products , DVD, CD, TV receiver, IT products, digital products, communication products, etc.; electric tools, electric electronic toys, medical electrical equipment.
1. Lead (Pb) Examples of using this substance: solder, glass, PVC stabilizer
2. Examples of mercury (Hg) (mercury) use of this substance: thermostats, sensors, switches and relays, light bulbs
3. Cadmium (Cd) Examples of the use of this substance: switches, springs, connectors, housings and PCBs, contacts, batteries
4. Hexavalent chromium (Cr 6+) Examples of using this substance: metal anti-corrosion coating
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) Examples of the use of this substance: flame retardants, PCBs, connectors, plastic shells
6. Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) Examples of the use of this substance: flame retardant, PCB, connector, plastic housing
3. The upper limit of the concentration of six hazardous substances in RoHS:
Cadmium: less than 100ppm
Lead: less than 1000ppm
Less than 3500ppm in steel alloy
Less than 4000ppm in aluminum alloy
Less than 40000ppm in copper alloy
Mercury: less than 1000ppm
Hexavalent chromium: less than 1000ppm
Introduction to REACH:
"Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals; Chemical Registration, Evaluation, License and Restriction". This is the EU's regulation on preventive management of all chemicals entering its market, which was formally implemented on June 1, 2007.
Which products must be REACH certified
Reach certification is the abbreviation of "Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals". This is the relevant regulations and requirements on chemical registration evaluation and authorization restrictions promulgated by the European Union in 2006. When doing REACH certification, friends often mention what materials should be prepared. Is the process cumbersome and troublesome to run around? The following editor will take you to understand. What information should be provided for REACH certification? In fact, there are not many materials required. First, prepare 2-3 samples, and then the certification application form, product manual, and parts list.
