Necessity of RoHS certification for copper-clad steel wire

Copper-clad steel is a commonly used alloy material with excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. However, copper-clad steel may involve the use of some harmful substances in the production process, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., which pose a potential threat to the environment and human health. In order to protect the environment and human health, the European Union has promulgated the RoHS directive to restrict the use of certain harmful substances in electrical and electronic products. Therefore, copper-clad steel products need to be RoHS certified to ensure that they meet the environmental protection requirements of the European Union.

RoHS certification, the full name of which is "Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances" certification, is an environmental protection regulation promulgated by the European Union. RoHS certification requires that electrical and electronic products shall not contain harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers exceeding the prescribed upper limit. RoHS certification aims to protect human health and the environment and promote clean production and comprehensive utilization of resources in the electrical and electronic industry.

RoHS certification of copper-clad steel products requires certain implementation steps. First, you need to select a qualified certification body, contact it, and fill in and submit the RoHS certification application form. Secondly, prepare the technical documents of the product, including product specifications, material list, production process, etc., to ensure that the documents meet the requirements of RoHS regulations. Then, provide samples for the laboratory to conduct RoHS testing. Finally, based on the test results, evaluate whether the product meets the requirements of RoHS certification.

Through RoHS certification, it can ensure that copper-clad steel products will not cause harm to the environment and human health, and promote clean production and comprehensive utilization of resources in the electrical and electronic industry.
