1. What is QC080000?

QC080000 is a specialized Hazardous Substance Process Management (HSPM) standard developed by the IECQ (IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components) under the authorization of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It aims to help companies effectively manage hazardous substances (HS) in their product components, demonstrate their ability to comply with relevant national and regional laws and regulations—such as the EU's RoHS and WEEE directives—and is applicable to manufacturers of electronic and electrical products, components, and raw materials.

2. Background of QC080000

Many existing or pending regulations worldwide impose control requirements on a specified list of hazardous substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which may be present in electronic and electrical products.

However, different regulations have varying control requirements for hazardous substances, and customer demands for hazardous substance control also differ significantly. Only by establishing a globally recognized authoritative standard or specification, providing all relevant parties with a unified and clear guideline to follow, can this issue be fundamentally resolved, thereby minimizing technical barriers to international product trade.

For this reason, the Hazardous Substance Process Management (HSPM) standard emerged, helping companies confidently address various environmental regulations and customer requirements.
