After the update of the controlled substances list, in addition to updating the harmful substances testing items, enterprises should also pay attention to meeting the new version labeling requirements and conformity assessment requirements when implementing compliance control.

▶ Key Point 1: New Version of Labeling Requirements

The "Requirements for the Restriction the Use of Harmful Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products" (SJ/T 11364-2024) will be implemented from April , 2025, and will be implemented simultaneously with the first amendment to GB/T 26572 by January 1, 2026 the latest.

Requirements: The table of information on harmful substances must be adjusted from 6 items to 10 items and comply with the labeling provisions in the new.

▶ Key Point 2: Switch Conformity Assessment

Requirements: Starting from January 1, 2026, products that have completed theity assessment activities for 6 substances according to GB/T 26572-2011 and continue to leave the factory and be imported should complete the transition the conformity assessment for 10 harmful substances by January 1, 2027.
