China RoHS
China's administrative measures on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products cover the same substance families as EU RoHS but work differently: the general duty is marking and disclosure, while actual concentration limits apply to products listed in a published catalogue. Products must carry an environmental protection use period mark and a substance disclosure table in the prescribed format. Compliance with EU RoHS does not satisfy it, because the obligation being tested is the declaration, not only the content.
What it obliges you to do
- Apply the correct marking and environmental protection use period
- Publish the substance disclosure table in the prescribed format
- Check whether the product falls within the restricted catalogue
- Keep the underlying material data consistent with EU RoHS evidence
Latest activity
No machine-readable feed reaches China RoHS yet. We ingest the US Federal Register and legislation.gov.uk; neither carries instruments under this name, and the EU publishers that would — ECHA, EUR-Lex, the Commission — refuse automated requests. The primary sources above are the record to watch. This is a gap in available feeds, not an indication that nothing is changing.
Does China RoHS actually apply to your products?
Scope is the part a summary cannot answer. Send us your product families and target markets and a steward will tell you which obligations attach, what evidence you would need, and what is already covered by declarations you hold.

- The evidence gaps that would surface in an audit
- No obligation, and no sales sequence attached
