China RoHS II is only mandatory in mainland China and is not applicable in Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan.
“Electrical and electronic products” refer to devices and accessory products with rated working electrical voltages of no more than 1500 volts direct current, and 1000 volts alternating current which function by means of current or electromagnetic fields, and generate, transmit and measure such currents and electromagnetic fields. Power generation, transmission and distribution equipment is excluded [from this definition]. (Refer to China RoHS II regulation, Section I, Article 3).
The categories include:
The categories exclude:
Since March 15, 2019, the following 12 product ranges (defined in more details in the announcement) will be in the mandatory list of Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products:
The 12 products mentioned above must meet the limitation requirements for electrical and electronic products restricted substances according to GB/T 26572-2011 (refer to table in "What are the requirements for China RoHS II?), and labelled according to SJ/T 11364-2014 (refer to table in "How to use the China RoHS II mark?"). When these 12 products are used as parts/components of products not included in the catalogue, there is no mandatory hazardous substances limitation requirements. These products would need to meet the China RoHS II requirement along with the whole equipment.
