Substance Regulations

Korea RoHS Compliance

Know where restricted substances sit in the products you sell into Korea, with every part on your BOM classified and the evidence ready for public disclosure.

Hazardous substances restricted for the Korean market

Korea sets EU-style substance limits but asks you to disclose compliance publicly through EcoAS. Compliance Manager assesses the parts and holds the documentation, so here is what you get.

How Z2 helps

/1

Out-of-the-box coverage

Most of your BOM assessed against the Korean list on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.

/2

Compliance status

Each part returned Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.

/3

Item rollup

Compliance status at every level of the product hierarchy.

/4

Compliance evidence package

CoCs, FMDs, and supplier documentation behind every assessment.

/5

Supplier outreach

Z2-led campaigns collect the FMDs and CoCs you're missing.

/6

Monitoring and alerts

Notified as Korea extends the regulation to more equipment.

BOM assessment

Assess Every Part for Korea RoHS

One upload puts your whole BOM against the Korean restricted-substance list.

  • A clear Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant verdict on each part.
  • Strong coverage from the outset on Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • Evaluated in the same run as your EU RoHS and REACH obligations.

Evidence

A Documented Basis for Public Disclosure

Because Korea publishes compliance openly, each result carries the declaration or certificate behind it.

  • Supplier declarations and certificates tied to every part.
  • The relevant exemption logged where a component depends on one.
  • Missing documents pursued through Z2-led supplier outreach.

What Korea adds

One Law for Substances, Recycling, and Vehicles

Korea combines RoHS, e-waste, and ELV in one statute, with compliance posted to a public portal.

  • The same restricted substances as EU RoHS, with the phthalates phased in.
  • Compliance is disclosed on the government EcoAS system, not signalled by a mark.
  • The statute also carries recycling and end-of-life vehicle duties beyond substances.

One platform

Part of Z2 Compliance Manager

Korea RoHS is one of 270-plus regulations Compliance Manager runs on a single BOM.

  • Evaluated beside EU RoHS, China RoHS, REACH, and your other frameworks.
  • Item rollup shows status at each level of the product hierarchy.
  • Z2's in-house materials scientist follows Korea's expanding scope.

Common Questions

How does Z2 handle Korea RoHS?

Korea rolls hazardous-substance limits together with e-waste recycling and end-of-life vehicle requirements in one statute, and asks producers to disclose compliance on the government EcoAS portal rather than affix a mark. The substances match the EU list, with phthalates phased in. Compliance Manager assesses each part against them from the same BOM you use for your other RoHS markets.

Which substances does Z2 assess for Korea RoHS?

The four heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium), together with the PBB and PBDE flame retardants and the four phthalates, each assessed at the homogeneous-material level against the 0.1% weight threshold (0.01% for cadmium).

What does Z2 give me for my EcoAS disclosure?

Compliance Manager builds the documented substance assessment the disclosure draws on, each part classified with its supporting declaration or certificate, so the material record behind your EcoAS posting is ready to hand.

How does Korea RoHS fit with the rest of my compliance program in Z2?

Korea RoHS runs on the same BOM as more than 270 other regulations in Compliance Manager, evaluated alongside EU RoHS, REACH, and the rest, with item rollup across the product hierarchy.
