MIIT Publishes New Draft to expand Product Scope under China RoHS

Following the publication of GB 26572-2025, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has proposed a 2025 catalogue and began a public consultation within the industry. As was the case with the first batch, the revised catalogue lists the products that must restrict hazardous substances under China RoHS.

The proposed 2025 catalogue would dramatically expand the scope by adding a wide range of new products, such as:
