## Overview of Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products

## What is Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products?

**Pollution control of electronic information products is a system project aiming to reduce or eliminate the toxic or hazardous substances or elements, prevent the aforementioned products from polluting the environment after disposal. It follows the trend of environmental protection and conservation of resources, as well as the concept of cyclic economy, featuring strong professionalism, systematization and comprehensiveness. **
**Pollution control of electronic information products is a preventive measure against potential pollution caused by electronic information products.**
**Pollution control of electronic information products is a fundamental and prospective preparation for the recycling of disposed electronic information products.**

**Article 3 of the Administrative Measures on Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products: ...refers to the following measures for reducing or eliminating the toxic or hazardous substances or elements contained in electronic information products:**
-         1. Technical measures taken in design and production process including change of research and design scheme, adjustment of technique process, replacement of materials, and innovation of manufacturing approaches, etc.;
-         2. Measures taken in design, production, import and sales process including labeling the name and content of toxic and hazardous substances and elements, and service life of electronic information products, etc.;
-         3. Measures taken in sales process including strict purchase channels, no sales of electronic information products containing toxic or hazardous substances or elements, or electronic information products whose toxic and hazardous substances or elements do not comply with national standard or industrial standard regarding the control of such substances;
-        4. Measures taken to prohibit the import of electronic information products whose toxic and hazardous substances or elements do not comply with national standard or industrial standard;
-        5.Other pollution control approaches stipulated in the Administrative Measures.

## Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products

**Legislation**

**Forming standard**

**Implementing **
**catalog management**

**Substitute of toxic substances**

**Taking pollution control of electronic information products as a part of industrial administration: **
-  The core task is to take restrictive and prohibitive measures on toxic and hazardous substances in the products to control the environmental pollution;
- “Starting from the source and legislation going first”, taking legislation as a breakthrough;
- Making rules, implementing catalog management, gradually promoting the pollution control of electronic information products;
- Two steps for controlling toxic and hazardous substances: self declaration first, and then 3C management;
- Realizing the substitute of toxic and hazardous substances is the final goal.

## How to Promote Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products?

**Starting from the source, legislation going first; **

**Driving standard making based on legislation, **
**realizing the goal of restricting or prohibiting **
**the use of toxic and hazardous substances **
**by implementing the regulations and standards; **

**Adopting catalog management, making gradual progress; **

**Final goal: realizing industrial structure adjustment and product upgrade symbolized by the replacement or reduction of toxic and hazardous substances in electronic information products, ensuring the sustainable development of electronic information industry.  **

## Overview of Pollution Legislation of Electronic Information Products

## Pollution Legislation of Electronic Information Products

**Since the beginning of the second half of 2002, Ministry of Information Industry has begun stipulating ****“Administrative Measures on Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products”**** together with seven other departments of the State Council including National Development and Reform Commission. By now, the Administrative Measures has been noticed to WTO/TBT and will be issued soon. Being a regulation stipulated by the ministries, it will be issued as a ministerial order;**

**The Administrative Measures is regarded as Chinese RoHS. The Administrative Measures and the stipulation process comply with WTO rule, and are in line with international convention and Chinese situation. It is a standard legal document following international trend and embodying Chinese characteristics;    **

**The Administrative Measures highlights the commitment and confidence of the Chinese government in pollution control of electronic information products, as well as the down-to-earth attitude; the detailed execution approaches of the Administrative Measures are highly flexible and operable.     **

## Stipulation of the Administrative Measures
