Korea Market Access for RoHS Requirements

The Act for Resource Recycling of Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Vehicles (commonly known as Korean RoHS) entered into force on January 1, 2008.

Korea RoHS applies to televisions, refrigerators, mobile phones (including batteries and chargers), washing machines (for household use only), personal computers (including monitors and keyboards), audio equipment (except portable audio), air-conditioners, printers, copiers, and fax machines.

Certain products such as batteries, medical devices, and packing materials are out of the scope of Korean RoHS. Regulated vehicles include passenger cars, vans, and trucks under 3.5 tons.

Korea RoHS currently restricts 6 hazardous substances in electronic and electrical products and 4 hazardous substances in vehicles:

• Cadmium(Cd) and its compounds: 0.01% (includes vehicles)

• Mercury and its compounds: 0.1% (includes vehicles)

• Lead(Pb) and its compounds : 0.1% (includes vehicles)

• Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and its compounds: 0.1% (includes vehicles)

• Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB): 0.1 %

• Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE): 0.1 %

Manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment and vehicles shall make self-declaration of product's compliance with the concentration limits of hazardous substances.

Note that neither certification of the absence of restricted substances nor labeling of products is required. There are specific requirements under Korea RoHS for electrical and electronic equipment and vehicles that manufacturers and importers must comply with.
