From the American Toy Association news, the new EU Hazardous Substances Directive 2011/65/EU for Electrical and Electronic (E&E) toys, the two effective dates of RoHS2.0, are approaching. The revised directive will cover all toys with electrical and electronic functions. Among them, the instructions that will take effect on January 2, 2013, are restricted to toys with one major E&E component; and for E&E components that are smaller or in a secondary position (such as a plush toy with singing function) Toys must comply with the RoHS 2.0 limit from July 22, 2019. Electrical and electronic equipment in toys is defined by the European Union as "equipment that relies on current or electromagnetics to function properly." The new definition of "dependency" in RoHS 2.0 includes toys that require current or electromagnetics to perform at least one predetermined function. In addition, RoHS 2.0 introduces the labeling requirements of the CE mark to comply with the European standards for electrical and electronic.
The RoHS Directive was first issued in 2003 to limit the levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls or polybrominated diphenyl ethers in certain types of electrical and electronic equipment and toys to prevent the banned substances from being disposed of and potentially released. Environment. The above-mentioned substances have a limit of 0.01% except for cadmium, and other limits are 0.1%. The RoHS 2.0 Directive extends the scope of control to all electrical and electronic equipment except for special exemptions, including toys with electrical functions. As a big toy importer of the European Union, Chinese toy exports are suffering more and more severe. However, export enterprises mainly rely on traditional processing, and the added value of products is low. They have been under pressure from rising raw materials prices, insufficient labor, and rising labor costs. The forthcoming RoHS 2.0 Directive will extend the restrictions to toys with electrical and electronic functions, which will inevitably bring about a new round of raw material renewal and increased testing costs. At the same time, toy exporters will further rely on upstream raw materials companies. The toy export situation in our city will face more dilemmas.
Here, to remind electric toy manufacturers, first of all, we must thoroughly interpret the standard requirements of the toy parts of the EU RoHS 2.0 Directive, pay attention to these two key effective time points, and make timely adjustments and improvements to the products. Secondly, the source traceability system is established to control the procurement of raw materials and production processes. Enterprises with the ability to independently develop high-quality and high value-added toy products, explore the untapped areas of foreign companies, and find development space with their own characteristics. After that, enterprises should make rational use of existing regulatory policies and technical trade measures information resources, and use relevant testing institutions to ensure the smooth export of products and enhance the production efficiency of enterprises.
