China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) clarified the specific mark to be applied by suppliers (e.g. manufacturers and importers) for China RoHS compliance when the self-declaration method is used. The information was provided in SAMR announcement No. 32 of 2019[1], issued on 2 July 2019. It indicates that the supplier compliance label to be used when companies use self-declaration is as shown in Figure 3.

This is a change from what had been suggested by SAMR in their May 16th publication of “Implementation Measures on a Conformity Assessment System for the Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products”.
The Implementation Measures requires that companies choose either: Voluntary Certification; or Company Self-declaration and implement the conformity assessment requirements and apply the appropriate mark from November 1, 2019.
