At last – the China RoHS 'catalog'!

This information was sent to me by Farnell's Gary Nevison!

Some two years late the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has just released the proposed first batch Key Administrative Catalogue for the Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products.

While Phase 1 which covered labelling and information was implemented in March 2007, the Phase 2 restriction requirements have slipped on several occasions.

Issued on 9 October, there will now be a one month consultation period.

The law goes into effect 10 months after the catalogue is promulgated.

Items covered include various types of phones and a wide range of printers. Some exemptions will be allowed.

Testing will be required as widely documented.

A more comprehensive report will follow.
