China RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), officially known as Administrative Measure on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products is a Chinese government regulation to control certain materials, including lead. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China is responsible for approval and publication of China's RoHS regulations.
"Administration on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products" (ACPEIP or China RoHS I) was released in 2006 by the MIIT. China RoHS I was replaced by the newest regulation, "Management Methods for the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" (China RoHS II), which went into effect July 1, 2016.
China RoHS II expanded the product scope of China RoHS I from Electronic Information Products (EIP) to Electrical and Electronic Products (EEP). Products listed in the EEP Catalogue must comply with hazardous substance restriction limits for lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), unless they fall into the Exemptions List.
All items shipped to China must be marked with its proper marking for the restriction of the use of hazardous substances per standard SJ/T 11364 as to whether the item is compliant or non-compliant. The EEP logo is used to mark parts and assemblies that do not contain unacceptable amounts of substances identified by the regulations, and that are environmentally safe. Items that do contain hazardous substances are marked with the EEP logo including an Environment Friendly Use Period (EFUP) value in years. Furthermore, per standard SJ/T 11364, a table in simplified Chinese must be included in the product manual guide specifying whether or not any of the hazardous substances exceed the threshold at the homogenous level.
