Why compliance teams choose Z2 over Assent.
Compliance teams at leading OEMs run on Z2
It was a game changer for us. Z2 freed our team from manual checking and data gathering, delivered incredible time savings across our entire product portfolio, and gave us a scalable foundation to future proof our compliance processes.
Z2 matches your BOM against 1B+ components the moment you upload, so most lines return a compliance status before any campaign. Targeted outreach then closes the remaining gap, and the lines an auditor asks about already carry an answer.
| Topic | Without Z2 | With Z2 |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Campaigns stall near 50%, gaps persist | 80% screened on day one from built-in data |
| Product declaration | Roll supplier responses up to a product by hand | Component data rolls up to a product-level declaration automatically |
| Audit evidence | Assemble proof from many sources under pressure | Evidence trail sits behind every declaration |
Coverage, documentation, and reporting for the regulations you answer for, maintained by Z2 rather than configured by your team.

Day-One Coverage
Z2 builds coverage the moment you upload: it matches your BOM against 1B+ components and 270+ regulations, so 80% of parts return a compliance status without a single supplier request. Campaigns become a way to close the last gap, not the only way to build the picture, so teams reach 80%+ coverage from the first pass.
Product Rollup
A portal gives you supplier and component status, then leaves your team to translate it into a finished-product declaration by hand, one BOM at a time. Z2 rolls component-level compliance up to the product automatically, so a RoHS or REACH SVHC determination for the assembly reflects every line beneath it. When a substance flag changes on one part, the product declaration updates with it, and the evidence behind each answer stays attached for the audit.
Audit Trail
When an auditor asks to see what sits behind a declaration, the campaign model sends your team hunting through full material declarations, certificates, and email threads. Z2 keeps the source data attached to every part and every product, so a Certificate of Compliance is generated from documented evidence rather than reconstructed under deadline. The same record covers REACH SVHC, RoHS, PFAS, SCIP, and conflict minerals, which means one trail answers the question instead of several.
Everything on this page is one tool. Upload a BOM to Compliance Manager and every line returns its compliance status across 270+ regulations, rolls up to a product-level declaration, and generates an audit-ready Certificate of Compliance, with 80% of parts covered before the first supplier campaign.

Drag in any spreadsheet, CSV, or ERP/PLM export. Z2 reads it as-is, with no template or column mapping.
Every line is matched to the Z2 database for compliance status across RoHS, REACH, PFAS, and conflict minerals. Most of the BOM clears before any campaign.
Z2 rolls component data into a product-level declaration and generates the Certificate of Compliance for your team to file, with the evidence trail attached.

Z2 has been a valuable tool allowing our organization to avoid supply driven product redesigns and, alternatively, massive inventory over-purchasing. Manually gathering and analyzing market data is incredibly labor intensive. Z2 has allowed our team to react quickly and regularly to early warning signs.
Z2 starts with 1B+ components and 270+ regulations built in, so 80% of a typical BOM returns a compliance status on day one and campaigns only close the remaining gap. Beyond compliance, the same component record carries part risk scoring, obsolescence forecasting, and cross-reference alternates, so one platform covers compliance, sourcing, and supply chain risk together.
Z2 provides out-of-the-box compliance coverage for 80% of parts against 270+ regulations, drawn from a database of 1B+ components across 1,000+ commodity types. Coverage begins the day you upload, before any supplier outreach. Targeted campaigns then close the remaining gap, and customers reach 80%+ overall coverage.
Yes. Z2 rolls component-level compliance data up to the finished product automatically, so a RoHS or REACH SVHC determination for an assembly reflects every line in the BOM. When a substance flag changes on one component, the product declaration updates with it. The supporting evidence stays attached to each part for audit.
Because most of the BOM is already covered by built-in component data, Z2 only campaigns the specific suppliers and parts where a real gap exists. That replaces blanket, repeated requests with targeted outreach, which means fewer messages to your suppliers and faster responses on the lines that actually need them.
Z2’s in-house regulatory team maintains applicability rules across 270+ regulations covered out of the box, including RoHS, REACH SVHC, PFAS, SCIP, TSCA, conflict minerals and EMRT, UFLPA, and expanding scopes like CSRD, CSDDD, and CBAM. Keeping those rules current is handled for you, not configured by your team or bought as a separate managed service.
Z2’s in-house regulatory team maintains the applicability rules behind each one, so your coverage keeps pace with changing scopes without configuration work from your team.
