2024 Surge Protector Device ROHS and REACH certification

What is ROHS certification?

   ROHS certification is the "Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive". It was formulated by the European Union to limit the content of certain harmful substances in electronic and electrical products to protect the environment and human health. Specifically, ROHS certification requires that the content of harmful substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers contained in products must not exceed the limit standards stipulated by the European Union. Passing ROHS certification means that products comply with relevant standards and regulations, can better enter the target market, and can also improve the environmental performance and competitiveness of products.

What is REACH certification?

   REACH certification is the European Union's preventive management of all chemicals entering its market. It was officially implemented on June 1, 2007. The purpose of REACH certification is to ensure that the impact of the production and use of chemical substances on human health and the environment is within an acceptable range. REACH certification covers almost all manufacturing industries, including chemicals, toys, electronic appliances, textiles and automotive parts. Through REACH certification, companies can prove that the chemical composition of their products complies with EU regulations and ensure minimal impact on human health and the environment. The implementation of REACH certification helps improve the transparency and competitiveness of the EU market and promotes continuous improvement and innovation of enterprises.

The necessity of ROHS and REACH certification for surge protectors is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

   Ensure that products comply with relevant standards and regulations: ROHS certification is mainly applicable to the European market, requiring that the content of restricted hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products must not exceed specified limits. REACH certification is a global certification standard for the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals to ensure that the impact on human health and the environment is minimized. Through these two certifications, surge protector products can comply with relevant standards and regulations, thereby successfully entering the target market.

   Improve product competitiveness: Obtaining ROHS and REACH certification can prove that the environmental performance and safety performance of surge protector products comply with international standards, which will improve the competitiveness of products. In the market, consumers are often more inclined to choose products with environmental protection and safety certifications, so obtaining these certifications can increase the sales opportunities of surge protector products.

   Reduce potential liabilities and risks: The use of surge protector products may involve electrical safety issues. If the product does not pass relevant safety certification or the quality is not up to standard, it may cause safety accidents. Obtaining ROHS and REACH certification can prove that the safety performance of surge protector products meets the standards, thereby reducing potential liabilities and risks.

   Promote international trade: In the context of globalization, more and more countries and regions require that products entering the market must comply with relevant environmental protection and safety standards. Obtaining ROHS and REACH certification can prove that surge protector products comply with these standards, thus promoting the smooth progress of international trade.

ROHS and REACH certification for surge protectors are necessary to ensure that products comply with relevant standards and regulations, improve product competitiveness, reduce potential liabilities and risks, and promote international trade.
