Upgraded GB/T 39560.12 Testing for Electrical and Electronic Products? CATO's Matching Mixed Standards Launched to Double Your Efficiency!
Starting October 1, 2024, the national standard "GB/T 39560.12-2024 Determination of certain substances in electrical and electronic products — Part 12: Simultaneous determination of polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and phthalates in polymers by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry" officially came into effect. This standard further improves China's RoHS system and places higher requirements on hazardous substance testing in electrical and electronic products.
As the scope of China RoHS control continues to expand, enterprise export compliance, laboratory method development, and third-party testing capability building are also ushering in a new round of upgrades.
What Important Signals Does the New Standard Release?
GB/T 39560.12-2024 explicitly adopts GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) for simultaneous determination of:
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)
Phthalates (PAEs)
Among them, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), as typical persistent organic pollutants (POPs), have long been at the core of hazardous substance control in the electrical and electronic industry because of their resistance to degradation and tendency to bioaccumulate.
The significance of the standard upgrade goes beyond improving laboratory testing efficiency; it achieves a comprehensive breakthrough at the methodological level, coveringsimultaneous multi-component analysis, precise control of quantitative results, highly unified method systems, and deep alignment with the international standard IEC 62321-12:2023,marking a solid step toward systematization and internationalization of domestic testing specifications.
For testing institutions, this means: "The quality of reference standards and the accuracy of components will directly affect the final test results."
