ELV test
ELV test introduction
ELV stands for End-of-Life Vehicle, a mandatory standard established by EU legislation. Its full name is "Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous ingredients in electrical and electronic equipment". This standard has been officially implemented on July 1, 2006. It is mainly used to regulate the materials and process standards of electronic and electrical products to make them more conducive to human health and environmental protection.
ELV is a directive on the recycling of scrapped vehicles formulated by the European Commission and the European Parliament to protect the environment and reduce the waste generated by scrapped vehicles. The recycling directive defines the two stages of "reuse and reuse" and "reuse and recycling" of scrapped vehicles in the EU and the recycling rate targets, and clearly states the limit of recycling rate and the heavy metals that are prohibited or restricted. Member states have formulated mandatory regulations to implement the requirements of the directive. Since January 1, 2007, the governments of EU member states have fully implemented the scrapped vehicle recycling directive. It is required that since 2008, my country's automobile production or sales companies should start to register and file the recyclable utilization rate of automobile products, and make technical preparations for the implementation stage goals. Starting from 2010, my country's automobile enterprises or general agents of imported automobiles shall be responsible for recycling and disposing of the automobile products and packaging materials they sell. Toxic substances and materials that damage the environment shall be prohibited in the design and production of automobiles, and the use of materials that cannot be recycled and are not conducive to the environmental protection of automobiles shall be reduced and stopped. The use of harmful substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) shall be restricted.
Application of restricted substances in automobiles
1. Lead (Pb)
Mechanical processing steel or electroplated steel (steel fuel tank), copper alloy (shaft sleeve, valve, etc.), glass (windows, rearview mirrors, etc.), ceramics, rubber (sealing strips, engine shock absorbers, etc.), plastics (ABS decorative parts, front door guards, PVC artificial leather interior, etc.), leather, plating, anti-corrosion coating, others (motor carbon brushes, throttle seat, brake lining friction materials, etc.).
2. Cadmium (Cd)
Aluminum materials for machining (aluminum alloy cylinder block), copper alloys (valve nozzles, synchronizer rings, etc.), rubber, plastics (PP bumpers, dashboards, PVC anti-scratch strips, bellows-seat belt assemblies, sun visor assemblies, etc.), fabrics (cab ceilings, seat fabrics, etc.), plating, others, etc.
3. Mercury (Hg)
Rubber, plastics, leather, fabrics, anti-corrosion coatings, etc.
4. Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
Metal plating samples (bolts, nuts, galvanized sheets, chassis thick plates, etc.), glass, ceramics, plastics, etc.
5. Polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers
Ventilation devices (fillers and filters), wires and cables (plastic flame retardants), chokes, servo amplifiers, encoders, laser transformers, coil skeletons, welding gun handles.
Regulatory requirements
Limit the content and use of hazardous substances in all automotive parts and materials
· Reduce the use of hazardous substances in the design process of vehicles
· After July 1, 2003, vehicles put on the market must not contain Hg, Cd, Pb, Cr(VI), and components (except those specified in the exemption regulations) must be limited to prohibited components in all parts and materials
· Cadmium (Cd) ≤ 100ppm (0.01%)
· Mercury (Hg) ≤ 1000ppm (0.1%)
· Lead (Pb) ≤ 1000ppm (0.1%)
