Substance Regulations

EU RoHS Compliance Screening

Check every part on your BOM against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list and see which components clear, which qualify under an exemption, and which fall out of compliance.

Hazardous substances restricted across the EU market

EU RoHS restricts ten hazardous substances, from lead and cadmium to the regulated phthalates, in electrical and electronic equipment sold into the EU. Compliance Manager screens your whole BOM against the list, so here is what you get.

Screen Your Entire BOM Against RoHS

Upload your BOM and see every part checked against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list at once.

  • Every component classified Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
  • Meaningful coverage on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • RoHS in the base package alongside REACH, with no separate workflow.

Verified data

Verified Statuses From the Largest FMD and CoC Database

Statuses come from Z2's declaration and certificate database, the most comprehensive on the market.

  • Backed by downloadable manufacturer documentation.
  • The specific exemption category identified when a part qualifies.
  • Restricted substances tested against RoHS thresholds, not assumed.
  • Supplier outreach fills any remaining coverage gaps.

Live monitoring

Catch Noncompliance Before the Border

Get notified the moment a part crosses a RoHS threshold, before it reaches EU customs.

  • Notifications the moment a part crosses a threshold.
  • Time to qualify an alternative before a shipment is detained.
  • Flagged parts evaluated against REACH and China RoHS at the same time.

One platform

Part of Z2 Compliance Manager

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

  • REACH, China RoHS, TSCA, and California Proposition 65 in one platform.
  • Item rollup shows status at every level of the product hierarchy.
  • A branded certificate auto-generated once a product reaches full compliance.

Common Questions

Which substances does Z2 screen components against for EU RoHS?

Compliance Manager screens parts against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list, covering substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, and flags any part over the directive's thresholds. Where a part meets the standard through an exemption, it identifies the specific exemption category.

Where do the RoHS compliance statuses come from?

Statuses are pulled from Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance, the most comprehensive on the market, and backed by downloadable manufacturer documentation. That evidence travels with the assessment, so you can show the basis for every Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant designation.

What is the difference between an exemption and noncompliance?

A part can exceed a RoHS threshold and still be lawful to place on the market when it qualifies under a named exemption, such as lead in certain high-temperature solders. Compliance Manager identifies the specific exemption category behind a compliant status, so an exemption is never confused with a substance that has simply been removed.

Is RoHS screening separate from the rest of Compliance Manager?

No. RoHS is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses, included in the base package alongside REACH. The same BOM is evaluated against REACH, TSCA, China RoHS, and your other frameworks in one platform, with item rollup showing status at every level of the product hierarchy.
