Green Inspection

The worry of the importers of European Union
For the businessman engaged in importation of European Union in China, They will have to face the requirement of European Union RoHS Directive in 2006, this directive demands, the electrical and electronic equipments put on European Union market, do not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) from 1 July 2006, We can imagine, without any preparation, the risk in trade will be very high. The risk is from two respects: 1. Multi-layer supply chain. 2. The spot check in the destination country.

1. The risk from multi-layer supply chain
   
   a. Storehouse of some suppliers: there are some bad materials, and those materials are intentionally or not intentionally mixed with the normal materials.
   b. The product lines of manufacturing: because different product lines put on a workshop, it is too difficult to manage those lines at the same time.
   c. The quality control of some OEM: They can not make sure the goods is pass, for each shipment.
2. The spot check in the destination country
   
   a. Sampling and check from EU market
   b. Inspection from customs of member states

The status quo and solutions
According to the EU RoHS enforcement guide, the manufacturer should prepare the involved documents. The importers can verify their suppliers in two ways.

1. Carry on the RoHS process audit by self or third part, to make sure the factory have eligible ability to production.
2. Inspect the goods, the price and periods are important to inspection.

For the importers, the best choice is fast, effective and cheap inspection to double check the high risk point in each shipment.
