Can’t get in, can’t keep the goods: Sharing recent EU electronic product sampling and failure notification cases

2025-03-24

From January to February 2025, the EU Safety Gate system announced multiple cases of electronic product violations, mainly involving violations of the EU RoHS Directive, POPs Regulations, and REACH Regulations. The main illegal substances include di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCP), lead and dibutyl phthalate (DBP).

The EU continues to strengthen market spot checks

As previously announced, the EU will gradually strengthen its regulatory compliance review of domestic products, conducting random spot checks on products in the domestic market and goods awaiting entry. The EU's rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products (Safety Gate) will compile and publish product non-compliance information from each member state weekly, and this information will be posted on the European Commission's official website for consumers and businesses to reference.

Violating products may face recalls, removal from shelves, destruction, and even damage to the company's reputation. Especially in the field of electronic and electrical products, regulations such as RoHS, POPs, and REACH have become key inspection items.

SGS recommends that relevant companies manage their product supply chains as early as possible to confirm that the concentrations of banned or restricted substances in their products are below the limits to avoid potential sales risks.
