Substance Regulations

UK RoHS Compliance

Assess every part on your BOM for the hazardous substances UK RoHS restricts in electronics sold into Great Britain, and see which parts are clear, which carry a regulated substance, and which fall out of compliance.

Hazardous substances restricted for the Great Britain market

UK RoHS restricts the same hazardous substances as the EU but is enforced on its own for the Great Britain market. Compliance Manager assesses your whole BOM against it, so here is what you get.

How Z2 helps

/1

Out-of-the-box coverage

Most of your BOM assessed against the UK RoHS list 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 a substance restriction or exemption changes.

BOM assessment

Assess Every Part Against UK RoHS

Upload your BOM and every part is assessed against the UK RoHS substance list at once.

  • Each part classified Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
  • Meaningful coverage on day one from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • Assessed in the same pass as EU RoHS and REACH, with no separate workflow.

Source documentation

Every Status Backed by Documentation

Each status comes from Z2's declaration and certificate database, with downloadable manufacturer documentation.

  • Downloadable manufacturer documentation confirming each part.
  • The specific exemption category identified when a part qualifies.
  • Supplier outreach fills any remaining coverage gaps.

What UK RoHS adds

A Separate Great Britain Obligation

UK RoHS restricts the same hazardous substances as the EU, but it is a distinct regulation you meet on its own to sell into Great Britain.

  • A distinct UK RoHS status is needed even when a part already clears EU RoHS.
  • Great Britain uses UKCA conformity marking; the CE mark is still accepted while the requirements stay aligned.
  • Northern Ireland continues to follow the EU RoHS requirements rather than UKCA.

One platform

Part of Z2 Compliance Manager

UK RoHS is one of more than 270 global regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM.

  • EU RoHS, China RoHS, REACH, and PFAS in one platform.
  • Item rollup shows status at every level of the product hierarchy.
  • Once a product reaches full compliance, Compliance Manager can auto-generate a certificate.

Common Questions

How does Z2 handle UK RoHS alongside EU RoHS?

UK RoHS restricts the same substances at the same thresholds as EU RoHS, with administrative differences: Great Britain uses UKCA marking (the CE mark stays accepted while the regimes remain aligned) and Northern Ireland follows EU RoHS under the Windsor Framework. Because the substances match, Compliance Manager produces a distinct UK RoHS status from the same BOM you already assess for EU RoHS, with no separate data collection.

Which substances does Z2 assess for UK RoHS?

Lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, plus the PBB and PBDE flame retardants and four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP), each assessed at the homogeneous-material level against the 0.1% weight limit (0.01% for cadmium).

Where do the UK RoHS statuses come from?

Statuses are drawn from Z2's database of manufacturer declarations and certificates of compliance, with downloadable documentation attached, so you can show the basis for every Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant designation for the Great Britain market.

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

UK RoHS is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses on the same BOM, evaluated alongside EU RoHS, China RoHS, REACH, and your other frameworks in one platform, with item rollup showing status at every level of the product hierarchy.
