In addition, medical equipment RoHS2.0 control start from July 22, 2014 l, medical devices control start from July 22th, 2016, industrial monitoring equipment start from July 22th,2017.RoHS1.0 version has no obviouse RoHS mark, but in RoHS2.0 version EU combine the RoHS and CE certification and CE certificate must comply with the EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive also need to meet RoHS2.0 directive, so that it allows to post CE label.
In order to better control electronic products and module power, RoHS2.0 define the entire production aspects - "Manufacturer" "authorized representative", "importer", "Distribution quotient " but RoHS1.0 version only defined "Manufacturer"responsibilities.
