Peter, >From the Q&A to/from the MII at the Oct-2006 China RoHS conference hosted by the AeA:
27 Q. Is the material identified required only on the outer product packaging? In other words, is the material identification NOT required on the transportation packaging? December 2006 FAQ Standards Q/A # 27 states: "Article 6.2 of GB 18455-2001 states, 'Each packed item generally needs to bear only one label'. Here, "packed item" means the unit comprised of the product and the packaging materials that are combined together for sale or shipping. Based on this definition, companies only need to provide recycling symbols on the outermost layer of the packed item in order to give the name of the packing material. Labeling of packaging belts, transparent tapes, filler materials, protectors, small plastic bags used as dividers and other items used to aid packing is encouraged but not compulsory." Please note that answers to this and to 82 other questions were given by senior members of the MII at the conference. IHTH.

Hi all, On a recent seminar i was told that China had changed their requirements to packaging marking for RoHS Phase I. According to the person i was talking to China would accept now ONLY marking the outer materials and not all materials as previously mentioned in the China RoHS law. Has anyone come across this as a statement/fact from China ? I seem not to be able to find it anywhere on the Internet though.
