Remark: If the concentration doesn’t exceed the MCV, mark “0”； if concentration exceeds the MVC, mark “exceeding 0.1 wt%”or “exceeding 0.01 wt%”; if concentration exceeds the MCV but is exempt, mark “–”.
Marking Requirement
The standard stipulates that the restricted substance should be marked on the body of the goods, packaging, labels or instructions.
The identification code of the commodity inspection mark needs to indicate the content of restricted material, such as RoHS or RoHS (XX.XX), the identification code must be placed on the bottom or right side of the second line of the commodity inspection mark. Examples are as follows:
