Substance Regulations
Assess every part on your BOM against the four metals California restricts in covered display devices, and hold the evidence behind your own declaration.
California restricts four metals in covered display devices, a narrower scope than the EU that is easy to overlook. Compliance Manager assesses the parts and holds the evidence, so here is what you get.
How Z2 helps
Most of your BOM assessed against the four California metals on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
Each part returned Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
Compliance status at every level of the product hierarchy.
CoCs, FMDs, and supplier documentation behind every assessment.
Z2-led campaigns collect the FMDs and CoCs you're missing.
Notified when DTSC substance requirements change.

One upload puts your whole BOM against the four California-restricted metals.
Declaration evidence
Because compliance rests on your own declaration, each result carries the record behind it.
What California adds
A much shorter list than EU RoHS, applied to a much narrower set of products.
One platform
California RoHS is one of 270-plus regulations Compliance Manager runs on a single BOM.
In practice
Your BOM is matched against the four California-restricted metals the moment you upload it.
RoHS and Proposition 65 ask different questions, and one part shows both answers together.
Material disclosure tests each part against the California limit instead of assuming it is under.
The evidence behind your declaration is assembled up front rather than reconstructed later.
Status rolls up from each part to the finished product, so you release with the full picture.
Alerts flag it when California requirements change or a part's status changes on you.
Part of
automated material compliance across 270+ regulations, so RoHS, REACH, PFAS, conflict minerals, and more stay audit-ready.
Common Questions
California restricts four heavy metals in covered electronic devices under its Electronic Waste Recycling Act, administered by the Department of Toxic Substances Control. Compliance Manager assesses each part against all four from the same BOM you use for your other RoHS markets, so a US obligation that EU-focused programs tend to miss is answered in the same pass.
Lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, each assessed at the homogeneous-material level against the 0.1% weight limit, with cadmium at 0.01%. The flame retardants and phthalates restricted under EU RoHS are not part of the California list, and Compliance Manager keeps the two scopes distinct so an EU result is not mistaken for a California one.
They answer different questions, and Compliance Manager runs both. California RoHS is about what may be in a covered product and restricts four metals above a concentration limit. Proposition 65 is about warning consumers of exposure to a much longer list of substances. Both run on the same BOM, so you see each result beside the other rather than managing them separately.
California RoHS runs on the same BOM as more than 270 regulations in Compliance Manager, evaluated alongside EU RoHS, Proposition 65, and REACH, with item rollup across the product hierarchy.
