Wang Zhen / text

From March 1 this year, China's domestic market in 1800 the number of electronic information products must be labeled "green identity card" - "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control logo."

"EU countries have implemented RoHS Directive and greater market access for environmental barriers, and if China does not implement foreign discarded electronic products it is easy to flow into China." Such an evaluation of the industry. However, more than a month after the official Chinese version of enforcing RoHS directive will undoubtedly thousands of manufacturers, vendors, importers brought new challenges.

Enterprises should "self-declaration"

On February 28, 2006, the State Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Commerce, General Administration of Customs, Administration for Industry and Commerce, General Administration of Quality Supervision, the State Administration of Environmental Protection seven ministries jointly issued the "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control and Management Measures" ( "approach"), by way of legislation to promote China electronic information products pollution control work.

The "approach" is the main content restrictions, and prohibit the use of electronic information products of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ether six toxic substances. This year beginning July 1 implementation of the EU environmental directives Example is the core content of the agreement, the "measures" also known as the Chinese version of the RoHS Directive.

Electronic Standardization Institute of Information Industry and Technology Development Deputy Minister Yang Meng yesterday on the "1st Financial Daily" said that "measures" with the EU RoHS Directive is the main difference: the EU RoHS directive involving more than 20 million products, and "measures" mainly involves a variety of electronic 1800 letter interest rate products; EU RoHS Directive fully implemented "self-declaration", and "measures" adopted "self-declaration" and "mandatory certification" method of combining.

It is understood that China RoHS version of the 1800 involved a variety of electronic information products covering blues and components, raw materials, which include a car radar, communications equipment, mobile phones, televisions, computers, stereos, DVD players, semiconductors, integrated circuits, electronic medical equipment, batteries , microwave ovens, entertainment industry, and many other products.

"Green Standard" and "orange superscript"

Yang Meng said the "self-declaration" means that from March 1 onwards, all in China's domestic market sales of the electronic information products in the production must be marked "Electronic Information Products Pollution Control logo." This logo is divided into "Green Standard" and "orange Standard" two.

Whether "Green Standard" and "orange Standard" two arrows are all surrounded with a "circle" heralded recyclable. Green signs in the Circle is an "e", it is representative of the green, green electronic products; Orange signs in the Circle is an Arabic numerals, such as "10", a representative of the electronic products contain toxic and hazardous substances, the use of their environmental period of 10 years.

Yang Meng, March 1, "to" implementation of the first to enter the "self-declaration" stage, the products must be clearly marking "Green Standard" or "orange Standard", with "orange standard" products must also indicate in the statement list of the main components six poisonous substances, but also the life and environmental conditions of use, it will be subject to business, quality inspection departments punishment.

He disclosed that the next MII and the State departments, will be developed "electronic information products focused on the management of pollution control list," once the "directory" promulgation of the directory of electronic information products must incorporate 3C "Compulsory Certification" scope will be restricted or banned the use of six poisonous material, "but" directory "no timetable for the development."

Example will begin to implement the "market regulator" to the national authorities to further clarify that the penalty provisions related to a fair competition among enterprises; Regulators also hope that the follow-up to further clarify supervisory functions; In addition, despite the introduction of the three relevant industry standards other supporting industry standards also hope to soon work out
