Lead-Free Status Across Your BOM

Assess every part on your BOM for lead content and see which components are genuinely lead-free, which carry lead under a RoHS exemption, and which sit over the 0.1% limit.

A lead threshold that RoHS exemptions can quietly cross

Lead-free is built around the 0.1% lead limit that also anchors RoHS, yet the two part ways at the exemptions: high-lead solder, leaded glass, and leaded alloys can keep a part RoHS-compliant while leaving it short of lead-free. Compliance Manager assesses your whole BOM for lead, so here is what you get.

How Z2 helps

/1

Out-of-the-box coverage

Much of your BOM assessed for lead content the day you upload it.

/2

Lead-free status

Each part returned as lead-free, leaded under an exemption, or over the limit.

/3

Exemption clarity

The RoHS lead exemption behind a leaded part named, so a RoHS pass is never mistaken for lead-free.

/4

Item rollup

Lead-free status at every level of the product hierarchy.

/5

Compliance evidence package

FMDs, certificates, and solderability data behind every assessment.

/6

Monitoring and alerts

Notified when a finish or formulation change puts lead back into a part.

BOM assessment

Assess Your Whole BOM for Lead Content

Upload your BOM and see every part measured for lead against the 0.1% lead-free threshold at once.

  • Each component returned as lead-free, leaded under an exemption, or over the limit.
  • Useful coverage from day one out of Z2's FMD and certificate database.
  • Lead-free assessed on the same BOM you already run for RoHS and your other requirements.

Material data

Read Lead Content Straight From Material Declarations

Statuses come from Z2's declaration and certificate database, so lead content is measured, not assumed.

  • Lead figures pulled from full material declarations for terminations, solder, plating, and glass.
  • Downloadable manufacturer evidence behind each lead-free result.
  • Termination finish identified, from SAC305 and pure tin to a tin-lead legacy finish.
  • Supplier outreach closes any remaining gaps in lead data.

Beyond RoHS

Separate Lead-Free Parts From RoHS-Exempt Leaded Ones

A part can clear RoHS under a lead exemption and still miss a lead-free requirement. Z2 keeps the two apart.

  • The RoHS lead exemption behind a leaded part named, not hidden inside a pass.
  • High-lead solder, leaded glass, and leaded alloys surfaced even when RoHS is met.
  • A clear line between a part that meets a lead-free spec and one that only meets RoHS.

One platform

Part of Z2 Compliance Manager

Lead-free is one of more than 270 regulations and specifications Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM.

  • RoHS, REACH, China RoHS, and customer-defined requirements evaluated in one platform.
  • Item rollup shows lead-free status at every level of the product hierarchy.
  • A branded certificate generated once a product meets the lead-free requirement.

Common Questions

How does Z2 tell a lead-free part from a RoHS-exempt part that still contains lead?

Compliance Manager reads the material declaration behind each part and measures its lead content against the 0.1% lead-free limit. When a part carries lead under a RoHS exemption, such as high-lead die-attach solder, Z2 marks it leaded and names the exemption rather than folding it into a plain RoHS pass, so you can see which parts are genuinely lead-free and which only meet RoHS.

Where do the lead figures behind each status come from?

Lead content is pulled from Z2's database of full material declarations and certificates, backed by downloadable manufacturer documentation. That evidence travels with the assessment, so you can show the measured lead content and the termination finish behind every status rather than relying on an unverified claim.

What lead threshold does Z2 assess a part against for lead-free?

Compliance Manager assesses each part against the 0.1% (1000 ppm) by-weight lead limit in a homogeneous material, the same threshold that anchors the RoHS lead restriction. A part that reports lead below that limit is returned lead-free, and Z2 also identifies the finish, so a SAC305 or pure-tin termination is distinguished from a tin-lead one.

How does lead-free fit alongside the rest of my compliance program in Z2?

Lead-free is assessed on the same BOM Compliance Manager runs for RoHS, REACH, China RoHS, and your customer-defined requirements. The whole program lives in one platform, with item rollup showing lead-free status at every level of the product hierarchy, so a lead-free requirement is tracked next to the RoHS assessment it is so often confused with.
