Introduction to EU RoHS
RoHS is the abbreviation of The Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment ("Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment"). The RoHS directive stipulates that from July 1, 2006, the content of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) exceeding the specified limit levels is prohibited ) Electrical and electronic products with hazardous substances enter the EU.
On June 4, 2015, the European Union issued a directive (EU) 2015/863 in its official gazette to amend RoHS2.0 Appendix II to include four phthalates in RoHS2.0. So far, the restricted substances in RoHS2.0 Appendix II have been increased to ten.
In addition to the European Union, other countries and regions in the world such as China, California, Singapore, India, UAE, and Turkey have also issued RoHS control requirements, making RoHS the most basic entry barrier for electronic and electrical products to enter the global market.
Applicable product range
Electronic and electrical products and their raw materials (including: large household appliances, small household appliances, information technology and communication equipment, consumer equipment, lighting equipment, electrical and electronic tools, toys, leisure and sports equipment, medical equipment, monitoring equipment, automatic sales Cargo equipment, other electrical and electronic equipment).
Test items

RCM certification is a certification system implemented by Australia and New Zealand to ensure that electrical products comply with local safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and other standards.
FCC ID certification is a mandatory requirement under US law. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States strictly regulates issues such as electromagnetic compatibility and radio interference in electronic products. As an electronic communication device, routers are only allowed to be sold and used in the US market if they have obtained FCC ID certification, otherwise they will face legal penalties and market bans.
CE-RED certification is a mandatory requirement for market access in the European Union. According to relevant EU regulations, all wireless devices entering the market must be certified by RED (Wireless Device Directive) to ensure compliance with EU standards.
