ROHS statement
RoHS stands
for Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances.
The legal basis for RoHS is the EU
Directive 2011/65/EU, which came into force on 21st July 2011, was published on
1st July 2011 in the official journal of the European Union and defines the
restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment.
According to Article 3, Paragraph 1 of the
RoHS Directive electrical and electronic equipment means equipment which is
dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work
properly and equipment for the generation, transfer and measurement of such
currents and fields and designed for use with a voltage rating not exceeding
1000 volts for alternating current and 1500 volts for direct current. This
excludes electrical and electronic equipment which are named in Article 2,
Paragraph 4, such as large-scale fixed installations.
Manufacturers or importers of electrical
and electronic equipment ensure that the electrical and electronic equipment
placed on the market satisfy the EU requirements, apply CE labels, and provide
an EU Declaration of Conformity.
In Annex II of the RoHS Directive six
restricted substances and maximum concentration values tolerated by weight in
homogeneous materials are listed for electrical and electronic equipment
covered
by this Directive in Annex I.
The list of restricted substances was
changed and four other substances were added as a result of the delegated
Directive (EU) 2015/863 from 31st March 2015 regarding changes to Annex II of
the 2011/65/EU Directive regarding the list of substances subject to
restriction, which came into power on 22nd June, 2019.
The list of substances subject to
restriction now contains ten substances with the following permitted maximum
concentration values:
- 0.1 percent in weight (= 1000 ppm) per homogenized
material for:
- Lead - Mercury - Hexavalent chromium
- Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
- Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
- Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) - Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP)
- Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
- Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
- 0.01 percent in weight (= 100 ppm) per homogenized
material for:
- Cadmium
In Annex III of the RoHS Directive,
applications exempted from the restrictions in are defined. Among others, the
use of lead as an alloy with the following maximum concentration values is
permitted:
- 6a: 0.35 percent in weight (= 3500 ppm)
for:
- Lead as an alloy in steel
- 6b: 0.40 percent in weight (= 4000 ppm)
for:
- Lead as an alloy in aluminum
- 6c: 4.00 percent in weight (= 40000 ppm)
for:
- Lead as an alloy in copper
The objective of the RoHS Directive is to
contribute to the protection of human health and the environment including the
environmentally sound recovery and disposal of waste of electrical and
electronic equipment. This general social aim is regarded by JIANYANG GROUP as
being both worthwhile and indispensable. For this reason, all business
decisions and actions of JIANYANG GROUP are always reviewed in regard to
environmental aspects and their implications.
We do not conduct regular tests to check
for the presence of restricted substances and analytical monitoring of
potential contamination is not part of incoming or outgoing goods inspection.
Many substances are ubiquitous and can therefore possibly be detected as
contamination in products.
Regardless of the validity of the RoHS
Directive for our products we declare, to the best of our knowledge and
considering our suppliers´ information, that the products placed on the market
by JIANYANG GROUP do not contain substances in the concentration or application
which are forbidden according to the Directive 2011/65/EU and its changes,
including delegated Directives (EU) 2015/863 and (EU) 2017/1011.
All our products’ comply with the RoHS
Directive; in some cases existing exceptions (primarily, exceptions 6a, 6b, and
6c) from Annex III of the EU Directive 2011/65/EU apply.
Our products are given the prescribed
labelling in accordance with the applicable Directive. With the use of CE
labels and the EU Declaration of Conformity, JIANYANG GROUP declares that the product
complies with the essential requirements and Directives of the European
regulations, as well as the RoHS regulations.
