China's response to the EU's new environmental protection directive issued six test method standards

On July 28, 2005, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration jointly held a press conference in Beijing to officially release the first six international testing standards for the EU ROHS directive. These standards will be available on January 18, 2006. Implemented from day to day. At the same time, 18 laboratories were selected to undertake the task of testing toxic and hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.

On January 27, 2003, the European Union passed the Directive on Restricting the Use of Certain Hazardous Materials in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ROHS Directive) and the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE Directive), requiring electronic On the one hand, the producers of electrical equipment are responsible for recycling, and on the other hand, they are required to contain no harmful substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in these electrical and electronic equipment, WEEE The directive was officially implemented on August 13, 2005, and the ROHS Directive was implemented on July 1, 2006.

The implementation of these two directives will have a major impact on the export of Chinese mechanical and electrical products to the EU. It is reported that in 2004, China exported more than 68.4 billion US dollars to EU mechanical and electrical products, not counting spare parts and other upstream products. The implementation of the two directives directly affected the export of China's 46.78 billion US dollars of mechanical and electrical products. According to the growth rate of trade volume in 2005, the direct impact on the export of mechanical and electrical products will reach 56 billion US dollars.

In response to the EU ROHS directive, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Certification and Accreditation Administration have made full use of system technology and talents to actively carry out research on detection methods for toxic and hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. In May 2005, the six test method standards drafted by the Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau successfully carried out verification tests and passed the expert appraisal, becoming the first internationally accepted standard for responding to the EU ROHS directive. Six kinds of restricted substances were detected by atomic fluorescence spectrometry, flame atomic absorption spectrometry, diphenylcarbazide spectrophotometry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, HPLC method and GC-MS method.

Liu Zhaobin, spokesman of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that the issuance and implementation of these standards will affect the formulation of international standards and standards of other countries, facilitate the export of Chinese enterprises to the EU, and regulate China's testing work.
