EAC ROHS DOC认证 TR EAEU 037/2016 On restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment

The technical regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union 037/2016 On restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment contains mandatory safety requirements for certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices for the protection of life, health, and the environment. It also serves to prevent misleading actions against a consumer. The rules set among other things the uniform requirements for permissible concentrations of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in the produced electrical devices.

It also serves to ensure the free movement of goods.
