China RoHS now has Four Additional Substances
China RoHS has been updated with Amendment No. 1 to GB/T 26572-2011, pertaining to Electronics and Electrical Equipment (EEE) on June 29th, 2024. The amendment includes the addition of restrictions on phthalate substances. This amendment will officially come into effect on January 1, 2026. The addition of four new types of phthalates means that China RoHS will now fully align with international standards. Going forward, both domestic and export electronics and raw materials will need to comply with the requirements for these ten restricted substances.
One key difference between the China RoHS and the EU RoHS is that China RoHS has no exemptions. This will continue to be the case, even after this Amendment comes into effect.
Released Date: June 29th, 2024
