电器电子产品强制性国标出炉 明确铅汞镉等重金属元素含量限值要求

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of the mandatory national standard "Requirements for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" aims to enhance the control of hazardous substances throughout the lifecycle of electronic products, ensuring consumer safety and environmental protection [1][2]. Group 1: Overview of the Standard - The standard was developed over 16 months with support from various government departments, involving over 80 research sessions and more than 100 technical discussions [4]. - It includes three main aspects: limit requirements for hazardous substances, labeling requirements for consumer awareness, and testing requirements aligned with international standards [3]. Group 2: Specific Requirements - The standard sets mandatory limits for four heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium) and six types of persistent organic pollutants, which will constrain production practices and enhance compliance in the industry [3]. - It mandates that products must have clear labeling to disclose hazardous substance information, allowing consumers to make informed choices [3][6]. - Testing methods for ten hazardous substances are standardized to align with international practices, facilitating trade and enhancing the global competitiveness of China's electronic products [3]. Group 3: Consumer Guidance - Consumers are advised to look for two key labels when purchasing electronic products: the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" label and the China Green Product label [5][6]. - The first label provides information on hazardous substance content and the product's environmental usage period, while the second label indicates compliance with RoHS standards through self-declaration or certification [6][7].
