On May 19th, 2023, the Technical Committee on Detection Methods of Hazardous Substances (SAC/TC297/SC3) of the National Technical Committee for Environmental Standardization of Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems organized a technical review meeting of GB/T 26572-2011 National Standard No.1 (draft for review) (hereinafter referred to as the "revision"). At the meeting, the review experts listened carefully to the report of the drafting group, and finally agreed to pass the review of the revised form. At the same time, they suggested that the revised form should be submitted to the National Standards Committee for approval and implementation as soon as possible.
The revised list is compiled for the overall deployment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on deepening the management and control of harmful substances in electrical and electronic products, and four kinds of substances, namely phenyl butyl phthalate (DBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), tolyl butyl phthalate (BBP) and di (2- ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), are included in the list of harmful substances in the Administrative Measures for Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products.
After this review, it will soon enter the next approval and release stage, when the controlled substances will be upgraded from the current 6 items to 10 items (Pb, CD, Hg, Cr (VI), PBBS, PBDEs, DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP), which means that China RoHS will officially open the 3.0 era, formally connect with international standards, and promote China's electronic manufacturing industry to implement the "going out" development strategy.
