China to postpone RoHS legislation until January 1, 2007, but RoHS Requirements more Severe than EU

RoHS China

The RoHS Directive hasn't gone away. China is looking to implement its own version by March 1, 2007. This directive, the MII Methods Law still needs some clarification but will require testing of the product for banned substances, a test report and a label to accompany the product. This does seem to be much more demanding than its European equivalent.

"China's strict adherence to RoHS may pose a real problem in the coming years for companies that export RoHS-targeted goods to China".

RoHS China News

Beijing, China - The Chinese Ministry of Information Industry intends to announce this month the postponement of the new China RoHS law by six months to January 1, 2007. However, the new legislation is likely to be more demanding than the EU RoHS directive. Travel to China

Recent discussions with Huang Jianzhong, director of China RoHS at the Economic Operations Bureau of China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII), regarding China's new Administrative Measures on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products (also known as the China RoHS law) indicate that the legislation is likely to be broader in scope and more burdensome than the EU RoHS Directive.

Unlike the EU RoHS Directive which applies primarily to producers, the China RoHS law will apply to everyone in the supply chain. Manufacturers, distributors, importers, and retailers must all comply with the new law, and failure to comply may result in penalties for everyone in the supply chain.

As of January 1, 2007, all products sold in China or imported into China must comply with the new regulations. Thus, even if distributors import non-conforming products into China before the deadline, retailers will not be allowed to sell those products after January 1, 2007.
