The RoHS Directive restricts specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment within its scope. Exclusions and exemptions require product-specific review. A useful assessment connects component and material evidence to the equipment actually placed on the market.
How we support this
We review material declarations and reports, identify evidence gaps, discuss component information with the manufacturer and coordinate additional verification where justified.
RoHS and REACH are different frameworks. Compliance with one does not automatically demonstrate compliance with the other.
General information only. Applicability depends on the product, intended use, economic-operator role, destination market and relevant dates. A guide does not replace a product-specific assessment.
