The Chinese regulation is normally referred to as China RoHS. 
Though it is similar to the European Union’s RoHS, it does take a different approach.
The EU’s RoHS lists specific categories of products. Specific products are automatically
included in those categories unless specifically excluded.


China RoHS, however, contains a list of included products. That list is called the Catalog.

China RoHS includes the following:
• Automotive electronics
• Radar equipment
• Medical devices
• Semiconductor and other manufacturing equipment, components, and some
Raw materials
• Some packaging materials

China RoHS bans the following: 
• Lead
• Mercury
• Cadmium
• Hexavalent chromium
• Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)
• Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

Labels must contain the following information:
• Whether the product contains any of the six hazardous substances. If they are
present, the “Environment-Friendly Use Period” (EFUP) must also be determined
and indicated.
• Disclosure of which hazardous substances are contained in the product and the
component(s) they are present in.
• Packaging material must be disclosed on the outside packaging.
• The date of manufacture.
