Apply China RoHS scope, marking, disclosure, 2026 catalogue, conformity-assessment, and transition requirements to .
Decide whether the 2016 China RoHS Measures cover a product, assign the duties of each China-market actor, prepare the required marking and substance information, and apply the current catalogue and conformity route.
The Measures apply to covered produced, sold, or imported in China. All covered products enter the general control, marking, and disclosure layer. Products in the also face substance limits, listed exceptions, implementation dates, and conformity assessment.
Apply the function, rated-voltage, China activity, and express energy-equipment exclusion tests.
Support each substance, content, component-location, and exception conclusion for the responsible producer or importer.
Approve substance information and use-period marking, then document catalogue status, the implementation date, any exception, and conformity assessment.
Check whether the product depends on current or electromagnetic fields, has a rated operating voltage no higher than 1,500 V DC or 1,000 V AC, is produced, sold, or imported within China, and is not electricity generation, transmission, or distribution equipment.
Check the six substances named in the Measures and any additional substances required by the current catalogue and standards. Keep model- and component-level support for each disclosure and release decision.
Apply the current marking standard to the Article 13 substance information and Article 14 , then check the 2026 catalogue, its exceptions, and the relevant implementation date.
The Measures were promulgated on 6 January 2016 and took effect on 1 July 2016. The 2026 catalogue and exception list replaced the 2018 versions on 28 May 2026. Existing catalogue product groups continued immediately; 23 new groups and expanded ranges generally enter the catalogue route on 1 August 2027.
Start with product scope and your role. Then apply the general duties, prepare marking and disclosure evidence, check catalogue status, and keep the release decision current when the product or its materials change.
Decide whether the Measures apply, which actor duties attach, and whether the product needs only the general route or also the 2026 catalogue route.
Apply SJ/T 11364-2024, control substance information and use-period marking, and connect supplier inputs to the responsible actor's release approval.
Separate commencement of the Measures from catalogue, exception-list, standard-transition, conversion, and product-specific implementation dates.
Keep China RoHS separate from EU RoHS and end-of-life regulation, or jump directly to a common implementation question.
