MIIT Releases Final Version of China RoHS 2

On January 21, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and seven other ministries jointly released the final version of the China RoHS Administrative Measures, with an implementation date of July 1, 2016.

Detailed implementation of the Administrative Measures will depend primarily on two forthcoming policies that are not yet finalized: an FAQ document and a Conformity Assessment regime.

A version of the FAQ document, which is being drafted by the Chinese Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI), was made available to USITO for comment late last week, with a tight deadline for submission of comments of January 27.
