Find the answer you need
Four practical starting points. Pick your question and go straight to the guide.
What does RoHS restrict?
10 restricted substances. Limits apply to homogeneous materials: 0.1% for most, and 0.01% for cadmium.
Missing supplier documents?
Know what to request, check that it covers your parts, and let EcoComply automate collection and template preparation.
Does your exemption still apply?
Check the exemption, product category and relevant dates. An old supplier statement is not enough on its own.
What information must you share?
Candidate List substances above 0.1% in an article can trigger communication duties. REACH and RoHS need separate checks.
All RoHS and REACH guides
Substance limits, exemption deadlines, the EN IEC 63000 documentation route, and REACH updates on SVHCs, PFAS and flame retardants. CE marking has its own guides.
Need RoHS documentation that holds up?
RoHS sits inside CE marking. EcoComply collects the supplier and material declarations, assembles the EN IEC 63000 documentation and issues your Declaration of Conformity at a fixed €3,800 per product, testing excluded.
