Substance Regulations

Switzerland RoHS Compliance

Assess every part on your BOM against the ten substances Switzerland restricts in electronics, and run the Swiss result as its own answer beside your EU one.

How Compliance Manager handles the Swiss list

Switzerland restricts the same ten substances as the EU under its own ordinance and expects the documentation to be there when asked. Compliance Manager assesses the parts and holds the evidence, so here is what you get.

How Z2 helps

/1

Out-of-the-box coverage

Most of your BOM assessed against the ten Swiss-restricted substances 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 when the Swiss substance and exemption position changes.

One upload

Assess Every Part Against the Swiss List

One upload puts your whole BOM against all ten Swiss-restricted substances.

  • A clear Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant result on each part.
  • Strong coverage from the outset on Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • Assessed together with your EU RoHS and REACH obligations.

Swiss evidence

Evidence Behind Your Swiss Market Claim

Because a Swiss result has to stand on its own, each part carries the record behind it.

  • Manufacturer declarations and certificates tied to each part.
  • The applicable exemption recorded where a part relies on one.
  • Missing documents recovered through Z2-led supplier outreach.

What Switzerland adds

EU-Shaped, but Its Own Law

The same ten substances, answered as a Swiss assessment rather than an EU one.

  • Ten substances at the same thresholds, so your EU assessment does most of the work.
  • Swiss law rather than the EU directive, so Z2 keeps Switzerland as its own result on the BOM.
  • Swiss and EU exemption positions can differ for a period, and Z2 watches the gap.

One platform

Switzerland RoHS Runs Beside Your Other Frameworks

Switzerland 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 Swiss requirement updates.

Common Questions

How does Z2 handle Switzerland RoHS?

Switzerland restricts hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment under its Chemical Risk Reduction Ordinance, ChemRRV, overseen by the Federal Office for the Environment. Compliance Manager assesses each part against all ten substances from the same BOM you use for your other RoHS markets, so Switzerland is answered in the same pass rather than as a separate project.

Which substances does Z2 assess for Switzerland RoHS?

Lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, the PBB and PBDE flame retardants, and the four phthalates DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP. Each is assessed at the homogeneous-material level against the 0.1% weight limit, with cadmium at 0.01%, the same thresholds you already work to for the EU.

Does my EU RoHS work cover Switzerland?

It does most of the work, and Compliance Manager is built to reuse it. Switzerland is outside the EU and the EEA, so the requirement lives in Swiss law and your EU declaration is not automatically the Swiss answer. Z2 runs Switzerland as its own result on the same BOM, drawing on the same part-level evidence, so you can see at a glance where the Swiss position matches the EU one and where it does not.

How does Z2 keep up when the EU exemption list changes?

Swiss law references the EU rules as adopted at a point in time, and updating that reference takes its own act, so the Swiss and EU exemption positions can differ for a period. Compliance Manager records the exemption each part relies on and Z2 monitors both sides, so you are told when the two move apart instead of finding out from a customer questionnaire.

What does Z2 give me for my Swiss market documentation?

Compliance Manager supplies the substance assessment and downloadable evidence behind your Swiss market claim, each part classified with its supporting documentation, so the material record for your technical file is already assembled when you need to show it.

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

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