Battery RoHS directive Certification

What are the testing items for battery ROHS certification?

For ROHS Testing of batteries, the main focus is on detecting harmful substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) within the battery.

Batteries exported to the European Union must undergo RoHS certification. rohs testing ensures that batteries meet relevant environmental and safety standards, reducing potential harm to the environment and human health. This helps make the product more competitive in the market and assists companies in meeting regulatory requirements and fulfilling social responsibilities.

What are the EU RoHS testing standards for batteries?

RoHS testing is based on the EU directive that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. For battery RoHS testing, different regions may have different standards and requirements. Common standards include:

- The EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) restricts the use of 10 hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Batteries must comply with these restrictions.

What are the RoHS testing standards for batteries in China?

China's RoHS standard (GB/T 26572-2011) specifies limits on the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

It is important to note that specific testing standards and requirements may vary depending on the region, product type, and intended use. You can contact JJR Laboratory in China for battery RoHS certification testing services to ensure compliance with local regulations and standards.

What is the typical duration for battery RoHS testing?

The testing period for battery RoHS certification typically ranges from 7 to 10 working days. However, the duration can vary based on the following factors:

1. Number of Samples: A larger number of samples may extend the testing time.

2. Special Conditions: Issues such as anomalies during testing or the need for further verification can also lengthen the process.

Expedited services are available to shorten the testing period but may incur additional costs. For specific details on testing timelines and costs, please contact a JJR engineer. We are an IEC 17025 accredited laboratory located in China, and we offer related services that can reduce battery RoHS certification costs by up to 30%.
