Introduction of RoHS tester related standards

The European Union (EU) announce <The Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment> in January 2003, abbreviated as RoHS Directive. It is required that from July 1, 2006, it is prohibited to sell electronic and electrical products containing six harmful substances of Pb, Hg, Cd, CrVI, PBBs, PBDEs in the EU market.

In August 2005, the EU promulgated the 2005/618/EC Directive, clearly defining the maximum limit values of 6 major hazardous substances in homogeneous materials:

LISUN EDX-2 RoHS tester (EDXRF) fully meets the requirements of the RoHS 1.0 Directive. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) is used to accurately test the corresponding standard samples of the five elements of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and bromine (Br).

On July 1, 2011, 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2.0) was published in the Official Journal of the EU. The latest revised directive came into effect on July 21, 2011, and the EU requires member states to convert the new directive into domestic laws, and it will be implemented from January 2, 2013. The original directive 2002/95/EC shall be repealed on January 3, 2013. Main revised content of RoHS 2.0 is as below:

1. Scope adjustment and revision of some definitions of controlled products
Extend the scope of controlled products to all electrical and electronic equipment except for special exemptions. Including those exempted by 2002/95/EC: category 8 medical equipment, category 9 product monitoring equipment, and category 11 all other electrical and electronic equipment not covered by categories 1~10, including cables and other components part.
2. Revision of the Restricted Substance List
Although no new restricted substances have been added, four toxic and hazardous substances (DIBP, DEHP, DBP and BBP) have been selected as candidates for restricted substances.
3. Provisions for the transition period
In order to allow manufacturers newly incorporated into RoHS 2.0 controlled products to have sufficient time to comply with the directive requirements, ROHS 2.0 has set a transition period for related products.
4. Revision of the exemption mechanism
The existing exemption clauses were adopted and 20 new exemptions were proposed for medical and monitoring equipment, and different exemption validity periods were stipulated for product categories.
5.Introduce the CE mark to strengthen workplace supervision
Incorporate the ROHS compliance of electrical and electronic equipment into the CE marking requirements. When posting the CE mark, the producer should ensure that the product complies with the ROHS directive and prepare the corresponding declaration and technical documents.

LISUN EDX-4 ROHS 2.0 Testing Equipments use micro-cracking desorption technology (thermal cracking/thermal desorption-gas chromatography) to quantitatively measure the four kinds of o-benzene (DIBP, DEHP, DBP and BBP). “EDX-2 + EDX-4” fully meet ROHS 2.0 Directive.
