REACH Compliance Screening

Screen every component against the REACH SVHC candidate list and surface exactly what requires reporting, before a customer query forces the question.

Substances of very high concern, caught before a customer asks

REACH puts a reporting duty on any SVHC present above 0.1% by weight in an article, and the candidate list grows twice a year. Compliance Manager screens your whole BOM against the current list, so here is what you get.

How Z2 helps

BOM screening

Screen the BOM Against the SVHC List

Upload your BOM and see every part checked against the current REACH SVHC candidate list in one pass.

  • Every SVHC above the 0.1% weight-by-weight threshold flagged automatically.
  • Meaningful coverage on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • A part-level view of where regulated substances sit, not a stack of PDFs.

Clear obligations

Know Exactly What Needs Reporting

A reporting duty is never confused with a restriction, so regulatory affairs gets a precise worklist.

  • Each part classified Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
  • The specific SVHC surfaced for every Affected part, with the disclosure required.
  • Manufacturer documentation linked where ECHA has authorized a substance.

Verified data

Source Evidence Behind Every Status

Every status carries an evidence package from Z2's database, the most comprehensive on the market.

  • Certificates of compliance and full material declarations on file.
  • Downloadable source behind every status, ready when a customer or auditor asks.
  • Supplier outreach fills any remaining coverage gaps.

One platform

Part of a Wider Compliance Platform

REACH is one of more than 270 global regulations Compliance Manager screens on the same BOM.

  • RoHS, TSCA, China RoHS, and California Proposition 65 in one platform.
  • Access to Z2's in-house materials scientist as the SVHC list expands.
  • Item rollup shows status at every level of the product hierarchy.

Common Questions

What is the 0.1% threshold in REACH SVHC screening?

Under REACH, an SVHC present in an article above 0.1 percent weight by weight triggers a reporting and notification obligation. Compliance Manager flags any SVHC above this threshold across your BOM automatically, so you identify reportable substances at the part level without reading each declaration by hand.

Does an Affected REACH status mean a part is noncompliant?

No. Affected means a part contains a regulated substance that requires reporting, not that it is unlawful. Compliance Manager keeps Affected, Not Affected, and Noncompliant as distinct statuses, and for substances ECHA has authorized for restricted use, it links to the manufacturer's documentation.

How much REACH coverage does Compliance Manager provide out of the box?

Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance delivers meaningful coverage across REACH and other regulations on day one. REACH sits in the base package, so screening is available immediately, and for remaining gaps Z2's compliance team runs supplier outreach to collect the missing documentation.

How does Z2 keep pace as the SVHC candidate list grows?

ECHA updates the candidate list roughly twice a year. Compliance Manager re-screens your BOM against the current list and alerts you when a newly added SVHC affects a part you already ship, and Z2's in-house materials scientist helps customers track new designations before they become a customer query.
