Introduction
Hazardous substances are necessary in some electrical and electronic products, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polychlorinated diphenyl ether due to the demand for technology and product functions. Therefore, to avoid the adverse effect of such products on the human health and environment after use and being abandoned and standardize the marking of electrical and electronic products, the standard of SJ/T 11364 - 2006 Marking for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products is issued by the former Ministry of Information Industry after being prepared according to the relevant requirements of the document - Management Measures for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products (Decreed No. 39 of the former Ministry of Information Industry) and relevant international standards and industrial practice as references.
However, the standard of SJ/T 11364 – 2006 is gradually not applicable with the demand of revision of Management Measures for Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products and the increasing demand of enterprises for the marking of image display and logistics process in the use of standards. This standard is therefore prepared to solve the above problems and further detail and improve requirements for marking electrical and electronic products in the aspects of environment improvement, convenience of use, national policy implementation and enterprise management cost reduction.
