Product Feature
Know where lead lives in your BOM. Z2 Compliance Manager shows the current lead-free or leaded status of components across more than a billion parts, tied to RoHS lead restrictions.
Overview
Lead is restricted under the EU RoHS directive, and a single leaded component can put an otherwise compliant product out of conformance. The Lead-Free Status feature in Z2 Compliance Manager gives sourcing and compliance teams the current lead-free or leaded status across 1B+ parts. Check status before you design a part in, then map every result to RoHS lead restrictions so noncompliant components never reach production.
Lead-free conversion is a core requirement for electronics sold into regulated markets, and catching a leaded component after design freeze costs far more than catching it during selection. Z2 surfaces the lead-free or leaded status while you are still evaluating alternates, so part choice is informed by compliance from the start. Because the status sits inside Compliance Manager rather than a separate spreadsheet, sourcing and compliance teams work from the same view, and lead stays tied to the rest of your compliance picture instead of being a one-off check.
Lead-free status is only useful if it maps to the regulation that governs it. Z2 ties each result directly to RoHS lead restrictions, so a leaded component is flagged in the regulatory context your auditors and customers expect, not as an isolated data point. Compliance Manager assesses parts against RoHS as standard coverage, drawing on Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance, so Lead-Free Status gives you the substance-level answer for lead alongside the broader RoHS determination.
Most noncompliance comes not from a part you knew was risky but from a leaded component buried deep in an assembly, inherited from a prior design or a substituted alternate. Z2 lets you check lead status across an entire BOM, so a leaded part cannot hide inside a product you believed was lead-free. Results roll up through the product hierarchy, so you see lead status at the assembly and sub-assembly level, not just the line item, making it practical to clear a full BOM before release and re-check it whenever a component is swapped.
A feature of
Lead-Free Status is one capability inside Z2 Compliance Manager, automated material compliance across 270+ regulations, so RoHS, REACH, PFAS, conflict minerals, and more stay audit-ready.
Common Questions
Z2 provides lead-free or leaded status across more than a billion components. You can check it while evaluating a part, so compliance is part of the decision rather than a downstream surprise.
Lead is restricted under the RoHS directive. Z2 ties each lead-free or leaded result directly to RoHS lead restrictions, so leaded components are flagged in the same context as the rest of your RoHS assessment.
Yes. You can check lead-free status across an entire BOM, with results rolling up through the product hierarchy to the assembly and sub-assembly level, so you can clear a product before release and re-check whenever a component is substituted.
