Substance Regulations
Check every part on your BOM against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list and see which components clear, which qualify under an exemption, and which fall out of compliance.
EU RoHS restricts ten hazardous substances, from lead and cadmium to the regulated phthalates, in electrical and electronic equipment sold into the EU. Compliance Manager assesses your whole BOM against the list, so here is what you get.
How Z2 helps
Most of your BOM assessed against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list on day one.
Each part returned Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
Compliance status at every level of the product hierarchy.
CoCs, FMDs, and supplier documentation behind every assessment.
Z2-led campaigns collect the FMDs and CoCs you're missing.
Notified when a part crosses an EU RoHS threshold.

Upload your BOM and see every part checked against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list at once.
Verified data
Statuses come from Z2's declaration and certificate database, the most comprehensive on the market.
Live monitoring
Get notified the moment a part crosses a RoHS threshold, before it reaches EU customs.
One platform
RoHS is one of more than 270 global regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM.
In practice
Your BOM is assessed against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list the moment you upload it.
One part carries its RoHS, REACH, China RoHS, and PFAS status together on a single part record.
Full material disclosure tests each part against the RoHS threshold instead of assuming it.
FMDs and certificates sit behind every status, ready when a customer or auditor asks for proof.
Status rolls up from each part to the finished product, so you release with the full picture.
Alerts flag a part that crosses an EU RoHS threshold, before it reaches a customer or shipment.
Substances
The substances restricted under EU RoHS 3, with the maximum concentration allowed by weight in homogeneous materials and where each commonly appears.
Solder alloys, plating, and glass in passives
Switches, relays, and backlight lamps
Plating, contacts, and older pigments
Corrosion-resistant coatings on hardware
Flame retardants in plastics
Flame retardants in boards and housings
Plasticizer in cables and flexible PVC
Plasticizer in adhesives and coatings
Plasticizer in inks and adhesives
Plasticizer, a common DBP substitute
Part of
automated material compliance across 270+ regulations, so RoHS, REACH, PFAS, conflict minerals, and more stay audit-ready.
Common Questions
Compliance Manager assesses parts against the EU RoHS restricted-substance list, covering substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, and flags any part over the directive's thresholds. Where a part meets the standard through an exemption, it identifies the specific exemption category.
Statuses are pulled from Z2's database of declarations and certificates of compliance, backed by downloadable manufacturer documentation. That evidence travels with the assessment, so you can show the basis for every Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant designation.
A part can exceed a RoHS threshold and still be lawful to place on the market when it qualifies under a named exemption, such as lead in certain high-temperature solders. Compliance Manager identifies the specific exemption category behind a compliant status, so an exemption is never confused with a substance that has simply been removed.
RoHS is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses, included in the base package alongside REACH. The same BOM is evaluated against REACH, TSCA, China RoHS, and your other frameworks in one platform, with item rollup showing status at every level of the product hierarchy.
