SJ/T 11364-2024Labeling requirements for restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products (English PDF)

Foreword

This document was drafted in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020

"Directives for standardization - Part 1.Rules for the structure and drafting of

standardizing documents".

This document replaces SJ/T 11364-2014 "Marking for the restriction of the use of

hazardous substances in electrical and electronic product" and the 2017 No.1

Amendment. Compared with SJ/T 11364-2014, in addition to structural adjustments

and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.

a) CHANGE the standard name from "Marking for the restriction of the use of

hazardous substances in electrical and electronic product" in SJ/T 11364-2014 to

"Labeling requirements for restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical

and electronic products"; ADJUST the product scope of application to "Electrical

and electronic products", to be consistent with the product scope of application of

China's laws and regulations on the restriction of hazardous substances in

electrical and electronic products;

b) ADD the terms "electrical and electronic products" and "labeling"; DELETE the

terms "recycling" and "logistics"; MODIFY the terms "hazardous substances" and

"environmentally friendly use period";

c) DELETE the identification method of the product production date;

d) ADD the identification method and requirements using QR code (6.4);

e) ADD the requirement to support the use of web pages as identification carriers

(6.6);

f) ADD the requirements for the preservation of supporting documents for the names

and information tables of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic

products (7);

g) ADD four new types of phthalates, to the categories of hazardous substances in

electrical and electronic products (Appendix A).

1 Scope

This document specifies the labeling method and requirements for the information on

hazardous substances contained in electrical and electronic products.

This document applies to electrical and electronic products sold within the territory of

the People's Republic of China. It can also be used as a reference for the logistics

process of electrical and electronic products.

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1

Electrical and electronic products

Equipment and supporting products that rely on current or electromagnetic fields to

work or are intended to generate, transmit and measure current and electromagnetic

fields, with a rated working voltage of no more than 1500 V for direct current and

no more than 1000 V for alternating current.

Note. Equipment involved in the production, transmission, distribution of electric energy is

excluded.

3.2

Hazardous substance

Substances contained in electrical and electronic products that are harmful to

humans, animals, plants and the environment.

3.3

Environment-friendly use period (EFUP)

The number of years during which the hazardous substances contained in electrical

and electronic products will not leak or mutate, and will not cause serious pollution

to the environment or serious damage to people and property, when the user uses

them normally according to the product instructions.

The starting date of the environmental-friendly use period of electrical and

electronic products is the production date of the product.

3.4

Labeling

The process of labeling the information on the hazardous substances contained in

electrical and electronic products.

4 General

The manufacturer or importer of electrical and electronic products shall label the

information on the hazardous substances contained in the products, in accordance with

the requirements of this document.

5 Labeling of information on hazardous substances in

products

6 Labeling requirements

7 Data preservation

The manufacturer or importer of electrical and electronic products shall save the

technical support documents related to the information table, so that they can be

provided when needed. The preservation period of the documents can be based on the

requirements of the relevant legal normative documents on the restriction of the use of

hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.

Appendix A

(Normative)

Hazardous substances

See Table A.1 for the list of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products.

Appendix B

(Normative)

Specifications and interpretations of the labeling on restricted use for electrical

and electronic products

B.1 Specifications of the mark

B.1.1 The line proportions of each part of the mark I and mark II are shown in Figure

B.1 and Figure B.2, respectively (the number of grids is 100 × 100). The font of the

digital number in the mark II is Impact; the ratio of the digital height to the inner and

outer diameters of the ring is 5.8.12.

B.1.2 The recommended colors of the restricted use of hazardous substances in

electrical and electronic products are.

a) Mark I. Green (C. 85, M. 30, Y. 85, K. 20);

b) Mark II. Orange (C. 0, M. 75, Y. 100, K. 0).

The manufacturers or importers of electrical and electronic products may also choose

other colors according to the actual situation of the products, but green shall not be used

for mark II.

B.1.3 The manufacturer or importer of electrical and electronic products shall enlarge

or reduce the hazardous substance restriction mark of electrical and electronic products

in proportion to the specifications of this Appendix; its minimum size shall not be less

than 5 mm × 5 mm.

B.2 Interpretation of the mark

The connotation of the hazardous substance restriction mark of electrical and electronic

products includes whether the electrical and electronic products contain hazardous

substances, the environment-friendly use period of the electrical and electronic products,

whether the electrical and electronic products can be recycled. The lines with arrows in

the outer circle of the figure form a circular circle, indicating that the electrical and

electronic products can be recycled.

Figure B.1 is generally green, indicating that the content of hazardous substances in the

product meets the national hazardous substance limit requirements and is a green and

environmentally friendly product. In the middle of the figure is an artistic "e", which

represents electrical and electronic products (electrical and electronic product) and

environmental protection (environmental), symbolizing green and environmentally

friendly electrical and electronic products.
