Energy-saving lamps, also known as energy-saving bulbs, electronic bulbs, compact fluorescent lamps and integrated fluorescent lamps, energy-saving lamps and other electronic and electrical products need to do EU RoHS testing. EU RoHS is a directive established by EU legislation to restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment in order to protect the environment and human health. As a type of electrical and electronic equipment, energy-saving lamps need to be tested for RoHS to ensure that the product meets the relevant standards and regulations.
EU RoHS testing project:
1. Lead (PB): Lead is a common hazardous substance, which exists in many electronic and electrical products such as solder joints, circuit boards and other components. EU RoHS restricts the use of lead to ensure that products meet the relevant standards.
2. Mercury (Hg): Mercury is a toxic substance that is commonly found in products such as fluorescent lamps and certain types of batteries. EU ROHS restricts the use of mercury to reduce harm to the environment and human health.
3. Cadmium (Cd): Cadmium is a hazardous substance found in products such as nickel-cadmium batteries and some types of stabilizers. EU RoHS restricts the use of cadmium to reduce the harm to the environment and human health.
4. Hexavalent chromium (CR6+): Hexavalent chromium is a harmful substance, which is commonly found in dyes, electroplating, anti-corrosion coatings and other products. EU RoHS restricts the use of hexavalent chromium to reduce harm to the environment and human health.
5. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDes:p BB and PBDE are common flame retardants, commonly found in plastics, wires, cables and other products. EU RoHS restricts the use of these substances to ensure that products comply with relevant standards.
6. Phthalates (DBP), pyruvate (DEHP), benzo[a]pyrene (BAP), etc.: these harmful substances will also be included in the testing items of RoHS certification.
7. Lead (PB), cadmium (CD), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR6+): the content of these four substances in non-metallic materials needs to be detected and controlled.
8. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDES): the content of these two flame retardants in non-metallic materials also needs to be tested and controlled.
9. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), bis(2-ethyl phthalate), hexyl ester (DEHP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP): the content of these plasticizers in PVC materials also needs to be detected and controlled.
10. Detection of toxic and harmful substances in packaging materials: including detection and control of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and other substances.
EU ROHS testing process for energy-saving lamps:
1. Determine RoHS standards: understand and determine the requirements and standards of the EU RoHS directives, including the restriction of hazardous substances, limit values, etc.
2. Choose a testing laboratory: Choose a qualified and experienced testing laboratory to ensure that it can conduct RoHS testing. Laboratories should comply with international standards, such as ISO IEC 17025
3. Provide samples and information: provide a certain number of energy-saving lamp product samples to the testing laboratory, and ensure that the samples can represent the entire product batch. At the same time, provide product-related technical information, such as product specifications, manufacturer information, etc.
4. Sign the contract and pay the fee: sign the test contract with the test laboratory and pay the corresponding test fee.
5. Arrange testing: The testing laboratory conducts RoHS testing according to the samples and technical information provided to detect whether the samples contain hazardous substances that are restricted from use. The test method should comply with the appropriate RoHS standard.
6. Evaluation of test results: The test laboratory evaluates the test results, including the content of each hazardous substance, test method, test results, etc.
7. Issuance of certificates: If the content of hazardous substances in the product meets RoHS standards and regulations, the testing laboratory will issue a RoHS test certificate. The certificate shall include product information, test results, etc.
8. Update the certificate: If there is a change in the design or manufacturing process of the product, resulting in a change in the content of hazardous substances in the product, it is necessary to re-conduct the RoHS test and renew the RoHS certificate.
