Specifically, according to Ye, manufacturers that export electronic and electrical products into China are restricted and prohibited from shipping items that contain six toxic and hazardous substances. Though similar to the European RoHS, China’s law takes it up a notch by adding marking requirements, restrictions on packaging and production materials, and testing and certification requirements, says Ye. In addition, the China RoHS covers a larger scope of goods, such as medical products, automotive electronics, radar, large scale manufacturing equipment and certain consumable, such as household appliances, and electronic tools and toys.
