China RoHS Compliance for Your Whole BOM

Part Risk Manager surfaces China RoHS status on every component page and across your full BOM, so you know which parts can enter the Chinese market before you commit.

Overview

China RoHS restricts the same heavy substances as EU RoHS, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, but takes a transparency-first approach built on disclosure rather than outright restriction. Components entering China carry hazardous substance marking and a substance list documenting what each part contains. Part Risk Manager checks that status for every BOM line automatically, drawing on supplier-sourced declarations so you have the official documentation when you need it.

Clear every line for the China market

Transparency, Not Just Restriction

China RoHS differs from EU RoHS in posture. Where the EU bars non-compliant equipment from the market outright, China's framework leans on disclosure: products carry hazardous substance marking and manufacturers publish a substance table showing which controlled materials are present and where. A part can be sold into China while containing a restricted substance, provided the presence is declared. Compliance is therefore as much about documentation completeness as substance limits, and that is the dimension Part Risk Manager tracks per component.

China RoHS in Your Risk View

Part Risk Manager pulls China RoHS status onto the same component page as lifecycle forecast, market availability, PCN history, and supplier profile, so you are not jumping between datasheets and disclosure tables. When you upload a BOM, it rolls the status up across every line item beside REACH, RoHS, PFAS, and TSCA, so a compliance officer can scan an entire product for disclosure gaps in one view.

Documentation Sourced From Suppliers

A China RoHS substance list is only as trustworthy as its source. Part Risk Manager draws on declarations collected directly from suppliers and manufacturers, backed by Z2's compliance database, so the status ties back to official documentation rather than an assumption. When a declaration is missing or expired, the part is flagged instead of silently passing, keeping an undocumented component out of a China-bound shipment.

Part of Part Risk Manager

China RoHS visibility is one facet of the BOM compliance layer inside Part Risk Manager, not a separate tool. The same upload that returns risk scores, lifecycle forecasts, and cross-references also returns substance posture for every part. When you need a full material declaration review or want to campaign suppliers, Part Risk Manager links into Compliance Manager, where Z2 covers 270+ regulations in 105+ jurisdictions, China RoHS among them.

Common Questions

How is China RoHS different from EU RoHS?

Both restrict the same core substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. The difference is approach: EU RoHS bars non-compliant equipment, while China RoHS emphasizes transparency through hazardous substance marking and a published substance list. A part can enter China while containing a controlled substance as long as its presence is declared, so documentation completeness matters as much as limits.

Where does Z2 get China RoHS compliance data for a part?

Part Risk Manager draws China RoHS status from declarations collected directly from suppliers and manufacturers, backed by Z2's compliance database, so each status traces to official documentation rather than an inference. When a declaration is missing or expired, the part is flagged so you can request current documentation before committing.

Can I check China RoHS across an entire BOM at once?

Yes. Upload a BOM and Part Risk Manager returns China RoHS status for every line item beside REACH, RoHS, PFAS, TSCA, and the risk score. You can scan a full product for disclosure gaps in one view, then link into Compliance Manager for deeper review on any flagged part.
