October 21, 2010 – China

The Chinese government has submitted an updated RoHS (RoHS-2) regulation to the WTO/TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade) committee. The revised regulations would extend the scope of the regulation from “electronic information product” to “electrical and electronic product”. The wording for third party certification is modified slightly to “the electrical and electronic products listed in the Management Catalogue will be subject to certification according to the national certification system for the control of pollution caused by electrical and electronic product”.
