China RoHS
“Administration on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products”
《電子信息產品污染控制管理辦法》 :
• Effective March 1, 2007
• Apply to products manufactured in, sold in or imported into China (export products not applied)
• Same 6 substances as in European RoHS
For Details:

Executed by 7 Government Departments
• Ministry of Information Industry
• National Development and Reform Commission
• Ministry of Commerce
• General Administration of Customs
• General Administration of Industry and Commerce
• General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine
• State Environmental Protection Administration
9
• Computer
• Telecommunication
• Household Electronic
• Special Electronics Apparatus
• Radar & Broadcast
• Electronic Measuring
• Components and Materials
• Application Products
Product Coverage
Following Electronic Information Products (EIP) & their accessories:
Over 1,800 items, for details: http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/03/16/art_1221_8441.html
10
Major Requirements
1. Labeling / Marking
Hazardous substances and contents
Environmentally friendly use period*
Packaging materials
2. Restrictions on 6 hazardous substances:
Same as European RoHs
1. Compulsory pre-market certification - China Compulsory Certification (CCC) - tested by one of the gov’t-approved Chinese laboratories* Environmentally friendly use period = # of year from
manufacturing date in which no hazardous substance is released to the environment
11
Two Phases of Implementation
• Phase 1: Labeling / Marking for Products
• Phase 2: Products listed in “Key Product Catalogue” need to comply with requirements:
Hazardous substances limits
Certification (CCC)
Chinese Government is drafting the “Key Product
Catalogue” (not yet available - expected end 2007 /
early 2008)
12
China RoHS Working Group
• Established in Oct 2004, with 5 sub-working units:
Certification & marking
Maximum concentration limits & testing
Lead-free soldering
Standard system study
Environmentally Friendly Use Period
• ~120 members, SMT is one of them
• Consultation and voting rights
13
Consequences of Non Compliance
• Enforcement by 7 Departments - complicated
• Penalties and fines
• More rules
• No details yet
14
Important Notes
• Pay attention to China RoHS details & developments (e.g. Key Product Catalogue 重點管理目錄 )
• Consult relevant departments regarding testing & certification
• Prepare labels, and Chinese translations for documents (substance disclosure table, operating parameters for Environmentally Friendly Use Period)
15
• Korea RoHS - titled “Act for Resource Recycling of Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Vehicle”
• Includes key regulatory actions of the EU directives RoHS, WEEE and ELV
• Effective January 1, 2008
Regulations in Korea
16
I. Target products & restricted substances:
• 10 target product items (e.g. TVs, refrigerators)
• 6 restricted substances (same as EU RoHS)
II. Design for recyclability and recycling information:
• All manufacturers and importers to provide their Electronic and Vehicle Recycle information (product name, year of production, disassembly procedure...)
• Vehicle's ratio of recyclable contents will be over 85% in 2009, over 95% after 2010
Korean Requirements
17
III. End-of-life recycling system:
• 4 hazardous substances will be banned in vehicles (same as EU ELV)

Mission
• To facilitate the transformation of HK manufacturing industry into “Green”
Activities (2005 - Oct 2007) – on RoHs WEEE
• Raise awareness: seminars, promotions
• Provide guidelines for compliance: workshops
• Technology advancement: R&D, database
• Industry representation: liaise with government
• Platform for networking: domestic and international
Organized ~40 events > 5,000 participants
22
Activities 2007 onwards
• Apply same action of promotion & awareness on
China RoHs
EuP
REACH – full funding programs from HK Government
• Promote Green Q-Mark for FHKI
Recognition of enterprise with Green Manufacturing practice
23
• World electronics industry is growing at a steady pace, China taking a dominant position
• China is trying to improve its economic condition, with focuses on R&D, high tech and environment (target industries: e.g. electronics, automotive)
• Meanwhile, environmental laws around the world are greatly affecting the electronics & other industries (many technical issues still unsolved)
• Drafting standard industry guidelines for RoHS based on EU laws (agreed in WEF/APEC Seminar - June 2007) is a good start
