How does China enforce its RoHS?

Hi everyone!

I know that China's own RoHS regulations have been in effect for a few years. I know the regulations. What I do not know is how the regulation is enforced? Background: The company I work for is considering importing into China, and wonders how China enforces it. The products are centrifuge accessories (do contain microprocessors and electric-mechanic parts) used in research labs.

My thanks in advance.

We ship to and from China. They seem to be the same as all other customers.
They require a RoHS cert for each product, and that's about it.

Thank you HotRodHon. Does the "they" mean your customers or your import agents? Do you put the RoHS mark on the products (= cost)? Do they need testing results or a simple cert will do?

Thank you.

These are direct customers, not import /export folks. Our customers are satisfied with CoC's. If they request a lab cert, we offer it to them at whatever price the lab charges us. Usually, if it's going to cost $$, they quickly decide the cert is just fine.

The boxes and trays we shipt the product in have RoHS sticker, but the devices themselves are too small for individual stickers.

Enforcement is non-existent at this time.

Of course it can change at any time for any reason to any product (competition !) to any company (protectionism).
