Product Feature
Screen every component against the REACH SVHC candidate list and surface exactly what requires reporting, before a customer query forces the question.
Overview
REACH is the EU regulation governing registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals in components. Compliance is mandatory for any product made in or shipped into the EU, and a missed substance of very high concern can hold a shipment at the border. Z2 Compliance Manager screens your full BOM against the current SVHC candidate list, flags every substance above the 0.1% threshold, and shows what needs reporting per part, with source documentation attached.
Checking REACH status by hand means reading declarations one document at a time, which is slow and makes comparing candidate parts nearly impossible. Compliance Manager assesses your entire BOM against the REACH SVHC candidate list in a single pass, drawing on Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance for 80 percent coverage on day one. Every substance of very high concern above the 0.1 percent weight-by-weight threshold is flagged automatically, giving you a part-level view of where regulated substances sit rather than a stack of PDFs to interpret yourself.
REACH does not simply sort parts into pass and fail. A component can contain an SVHC above threshold, require reporting to customers and ECHA, and still be lawful to place on the market. Compliance Manager classifies each part as Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant, so a reporting obligation is never confused with a restriction. For Affected parts, it surfaces which SVHC is present and what disclosure is required, giving regulatory affairs a precise worklist. Where ECHA has authorized a substance for restricted use, a link to the manufacturer's documentation is provided alongside the part.
A REACH status is only as defensible as the evidence behind it. Each assessment carries an evidence package: certificates of compliance and full material declarations from Z2's database, plus supplier documentation where your risk tolerance allows. View and download the source directly, so when a customer or auditor asks for proof, it is already in hand. For parts outside out-of-the-box coverage, Z2's compliance team runs supplier outreach to collect the missing FMDs and CoCs.
REACH screening is one regulation inside Compliance Manager, which assesses parts against more than 270 global environmental regulations including RoHS, TSCA, California Proposition 65, and emerging PFAS restrictions. Because REACH and RoHS sit in the base package, coverage is there from the start. As the SVHC candidate list expands, Z2's in-house materials scientist helps customers track new designations, so your REACH posture keeps pace rather than lagging each ECHA update.

REACH 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
Under REACH, an SVHC present in an article above 0.1 percent weight by weight triggers a reporting and notification obligation. Compliance Manager flags any SVHC above this threshold across your BOM automatically, so you identify reportable substances at the part level without reading each declaration by hand.
No. Affected means a part contains a regulated substance that requires reporting, not that it is unlawful. Compliance Manager keeps Affected, Not Affected, and Noncompliant as distinct statuses, and for substances ECHA has authorized for restricted use, it links to the manufacturer's documentation.
Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance delivers 80 percent coverage across REACH and other regulations on day one. REACH sits in the base package, so screening is available immediately, and for remaining gaps Z2's compliance team runs supplier outreach to collect the missing documentation.
