China RoHS Compliance Assessment

Instantly check the China RoHS status of every component and track the marking and disclosure obligations that are distinct from EU RoHS.

Transparency and disclosure for the Chinese market

China RoHS restricts the same ten substances as the EU directive, including the four regulated phthalates, but enforces them through mandatory disclosure and the SJ/T 11364 marking, not a straight restriction. Compliance Manager assesses your whole BOM against those requirements, so here is what you get.

Disclosure first

Disclosure, Not Just Restriction

China RoHS centers on transparency: a detailed substance disclosure and the correct marking for the Chinese market.

  • Each part assessed against China RoHS marking and disclosure requirements.
  • A distinct assessment, not a copy of the EU restriction check.
  • The SJ/T 11364 marking obligation tracked per component.

Kept separate

Kept Separate From EU RoHS

A part compliant under one framework can carry different obligations under the other, so the two are never blended.

  • China RoHS status reported separately from EU RoHS.
  • Distinct China obligations visible at the component level.
  • The documentation each market requires made clear per part.

Verified data

Evidence Sourced From the Supplier

Assessments draw on Z2's database of declarations and certificates, with the supporting document attached.

  • Meaningful coverage on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • The supplier's official source attached to every assessment.
  • Supplier outreach fills any remaining disclosure gaps.

One platform

Part of Compliance Manager

China RoHS is one of more than 270 global regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM.

  • REACH, EU RoHS, TSCA, and California Proposition 65 in one platform.
  • Item rollup shows status at every level of the product hierarchy.
  • Z2-led supplier outreach closes any remaining disclosure gaps.

Substances

The ten substances declared under China RoHS

The hazardous substances disclosed in the SJ/T 11364 marking table, with the concentration limit above which a part must be marked and where each commonly appears. China RoHS now covers the same ten substances as EU RoHS, including the four regulated phthalates.

Common Questions

How is China RoHS different from EU RoHS?

China RoHS restricts the same ten substances as EU RoHS, now including the four regulated phthalates, but emphasizes transparency and disclosure rather than restriction alone, requiring detailed substance disclosure, certificates of compliance, and the correct marking. Z2 reports China RoHS status separately from EU RoHS so each market's obligations stay distinct.

How does Compliance Manager check China RoHS status?

You upload your BOMs and material declarations, and Compliance Manager assesses each component against China RoHS using Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance. It provides meaningful coverage on day one, with supporting documentation attached to each assessment so you can present official evidence.

What is the SJ/T 11364 marking obligation?

SJ/T 11364 is the standard behind the China RoHS marking table, which discloses whether each restricted substance sits below or above its concentration limit in a product. Compliance Manager tracks that marking obligation per component so your disclosure reflects the real substance status of each part.

What if a component is missing the required disclosure?

Where a part lacks the declaration or certificate needed to confirm China RoHS status, Z2's compliance team runs supplier outreach to collect the missing documentation, closing disclosure gaps without your team chasing suppliers individually.
