Dear Members,
MII, the leading government agent, has posted interpretation for the Administrative Measure and related standards through Q&A. The news can be found at <http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_2001_27265.html> http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_2001_27265.html . Any questions can be addressed to <mailto:chinar...@mii.gov.cn> chinar...@mii.gov.cn . Q&A for the Administrative Measure can be found at <http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27258.html> http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27258.html. This is the revised version from the previous one. * Copiers are not under scope of the Administrative Measure for the time being (Q&A 21). Blank CD, VCD, DVD, etc. are under the scope of the Administrative Measure. Recorded CD, VCD, DVD, etc. are NOT under the scope, temporarily (Q&A 24). * Plastic or paper labels on top of electronic information products or instruction manuals are not under the scope, temporarily (Q&A 25). * Second hand products are not under the scope (Q&A 26) * Test reports issued by foreign labs to support the indication of names, contents, and recyclability of toxic and hazardous substances in electronic information products can be accepted (Q&A 40). Q&A for the three standards (limits, marking, test method) can be found at <http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27260.html> http://www.mii.gov.cn/art/2006/12/01/art_1221_27260.html. * The color of the mark is at the manufacturer' choice (Q&A 7). * It is required to mark the products, using Figure 1 mark/logo, for those products with the contents of toxic and hazardous substances or elements under the limits (Q&A 10). * Guidelines for the environment-friendly use period expect to be promulgated before March 1, 2007 (Q&A 23). * Indication of the identification of plastic packaging materials must strictly follow GB 18455-2001 standard (Q&A 35). * The limits for homogenous materials are identical to the EU's regulated in 2005/618/EC PLUS metal coating and small size of parts (4mm 3) (Q&A 39). * Test method standard (SJ/T 11365-2006) basically is in accordance with IEC 62321 (not finalized). Test method standard is more concise. It is 8 chapters less than IEC's. (Q&A 46).
