4 Classification of Electrical and Electronic Products and
Requirements for Restricted Use of Hazardous Substances
The classification of electrical and electronic products and requirements for restricted use of
hazardous substances can refer to the provisions of Table 1.
5 Limit Requirements
5.1 Limit value requirements
The categories of hazardous substances restricted for use in the homogeneous materials that
constitute electrical and electronic products and their limits shall meet the requirements of
Appendix A.
5.2 Test methods
The determination of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products shall be
conducted according to the methods in the corresponding parts of GB/T 39560 (all parts).
5.3 Compliance judgement requirements
5.3.1 Classification and Requirements of test units
When testing according to the test method in 5.2, the electrical and electronic products shall be
disassembled into test units according to the procedures and requirements of GB/T 39560.2,
following the principle of disassembling them into homogeneous materials as much as possible.
These test units shall then be classified according to Table 2.If there is overlap in classification,
they shall be classified in the order of Class A test units (EEP-A)/Class B test units (EEP-
B)/Class C test units (EEP-C). That is, if a product can be classified as EEP-A, it shall not be
classified as EEP-B or EEP-C.
5.3.2 Compliance judgement rules
When the test results for hazardous substances in all test units of an electrical and electronic
product disassembled according to the requirements of 5.3.1 meet the requirements of Table 3,
the product shall be judged to meet the requirements of 5.1.If the test results for hazardous
substances in any test unit do not meet the requirements of Table 3, the product shall be judged
not to meet the requirements of 5.1.
6 Marking Requirements
6.1 General requirements
6.1.1 Producers or importers of electrical and electronic products shall mark the hazardous
substances contained in their products in accordance with the requirements of this Clause.
6.1.2 Products purchased for production support may not be marked with the restricted use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products. In this case, the supplier shall
provide all required information for marking upon the purchaser's request.
NOTE. "Products purchased for production support" generally refer to components, materials, and other
products purchased by a manufacturer from its supplier for the production of a specific product. These
components or materials are not sold directly to consumers.
6.1.3 Spare parts used for after-sales service such as repairs, returns, and exchanges of sold
electrical and electronic products may not be marked with the restricted use of hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic products. In this case, the supplier shall maintain the
information technology supporting documentation for the hazardous substance content of the
spare parts in accordance with the requirements of 6.5.
6.2 Marking requirements
Manufacturers or importers of electrical and electronic products shall mark the parts according
to Figure 1 or 2, respectively, depending on the hazardous substance content of the product.
a) If the hazardous substance content of the product meets the requirements of 5.1, mark
according to Figure 1.
b) If the hazardous substance content of the product does not meet the requirements of 5.1,
mark according to Figure 2, and provide information on the hazardous substance content
of the product in accordance with the requirements of 6.3.
c) If a material or component in the product falls under an exemption and the content of any
hazardous substance does not meet the requirements of 5.1, proceed to b).
d) If marking is performed using Figure 2, the manufacturer or importer of the electrical and
electronic product shall determine the environment-friendly use period of the product
and replace the number in Figure 2.
NOTE 1.The numbers in Figure 2 are examples only. When used, replace them with the
corresponding environment-friendly use period for electrical and electronic products.
NOTE 2.The method for determining the environment-friendly use period for electrical and
electronic products shall refer to SJ/Z 11388 or the guidance of relevant industry organizations.

Appendix A.
b) The last row of the Information Table shall be used to explain the meaning of the symbols
in 6.3.2b) and other relevant matters.
c) Due to space or layout limitations, manufacturers or importers of electrical and electronic
products are permitted to swap the rows and columns for the names of hazardous
substances and components in the Information Table.
6.3.2 The requirements for filling in the hazardous substance content information for each
component of an electrical and electronic product in the Information Table (Table 4) are as
follows.
a) The manufacturer or importer of an electrical and electronic product shall determine the
component classification method in the Information Table.
b) When the content of a hazardous substance in a component meets the requirements of 5.1,
the corresponding content information for that hazardous substance shall be marked with
an "○"; when the content of a hazardous substance in a component does not meet the
requirements of 5.1, the corresponding content information for that hazardous substance
shall be marked with an "×".
c) When the contents of all hazardous substances in a component meet the requirements of
5.1, that component does not need to be included in the Information Table.
d) When the content of a hazardous substance in a component does not meet the
requirements of 5.1, components of the same type with the same hazardous substance
content information may be combined, such as plastic structural parts and various types
of cables. Otherwise, their markings shall not be combined with other components, and
"Other" shall not be used to replace the names of such components.
e) Manufacturers or importers of electrical and electronic products are permitted to add
supplementary information to the general column of the Information Table based on

the restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products may not be
directly marked on the product surface, but shall be marked in the product instruction.
a) The maximum markable surface area is less than 50 cm2;
b) The product is irregularly shaped or elongated, making it difficult to mark, such as cables

such as the surface of an electric plush toy;
d) The product is an electrical and electronic product that is placed on the market solely as
a component, part, or component within another electrical and electronic product, such
as a display module, circuit board, or resistor, etc. to face the consumers or final users.
