China RoHS Directive (Management Measures for Prevention of Pollution in Electronic Information Products Production)
What are the administrative measures for the prevention and control of pollution in the production of electronic information products?
This is a Chinese regulation regarding the restriction on the use of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment. It was promulgated on February 28, 2006 and its first phase entered into force on March 1, 2007. It is commonly called the China RoHS Directive because it regulates the same substances with the same standard values as the RoHS Directive enforced by the European Union (EU). Regulations will be implemented in stages, with the first and second steps.
It was revised in July 2016 and became the Control Measures for Restricting the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products.
