What is China RoHS marking and disclosure evidence?
China RoHS marking and disclosure evidence is the model-specific file supporting the producer's or importer's market information. It should connect the applicable marking standard to the substance results, affected component locations, approved product mark or instructions, environmental protection use period rationale, released bill of materials, and artwork revision. For a catalogue product, keep the separate limit, exception, conformity-assessment, and platform records as well.
What supplier evidence should we keep for China RoHS?
Keep declarations, test reports, calculations, certificates, and change notices that identify the supplier, actual manufacturing site, supplied part, revision, covered material or component, substance result, unit, method, standard, date, and any China exception. Reconcile the set to every released bill-of-material line and record missing, conflicting, or obsolete evidence as an open gap. Supplier evidence supports the finished-product decision but does not replace it.
Is China RoHS the same as EU RoHS?
No. China RoHS uses its own product definition, general marking and disclosure layer, environmental protection use period, compliance-management catalogue, exception list, Chinese standards, and national conformity routes. EU RoHS evidence may support a material review, but an EU declaration or exemption does not establish the China product's scope, marking, catalogue status, exception, or conformity result.
How is China RoHS different from China e-waste rules?
China RoHS controls hazardous-substance use, product information, environmental protection use period marking, and catalogue-product conformity before and during market supply. China's e-waste rules address collection, recycling, treatment, and other end-of-life responsibilities under separate instruments. A product can enter both regimes, so keep the scope decisions, actors, records, and deadlines separate.
