The following are the steps needed for RoHS certification:
- Testing: Either on-site or XRF testing and/or lab phthalate solvent extraction testing must be done to determine the values of the ten restricted RoHS substances. The testing results must be fully documented in a certified test report to demonstrate that your product complies with the RoHS directive.
- Process Audit: Inspection of all applicable manufacturing processes used towards RoHS compliance must be done on-site.
- Documentation Review: All documents including, the Bill of Materials, Technical File, assembly drawings, materials declarations, test reports, and conformance/compliance certificates from all suppliers must be submitted for review.
The Technical File must contain the following:
- General product description and design structure information
- Risk assessment of materials, parts, and subassemblies
- Conformity information on materials, parts, and subassemblies
- Manufacturing documentation and records
- Harmonized standards, specifications, and conformity procedures
4. Certification Statement: A RoHS Certificate of Compliance (also known as a Certificate of Conformity or Declaration of Conformity) is issued after a successful audit.
