Product Feature
Confirm the lead-free status of every component before it ships. Part Risk Manager surfaces Pb and RoHS posture per line item, so one noncompliant part never disqualifies a finished product.
Overview
Lead is one of the most heavily restricted substances in electronics, and lead-free status is the first compliance question engineers face when selecting a part. Z2 tracks lead-free and RoHS status across more than one billion components, so you verify Pb posture during BOM development instead of at production. In Part Risk Manager, lead-free status sits alongside lifecycle, sourcing, and risk data, giving you one place to confirm a part is safe to design in and ship to regulated markets.
RoHS restricts lead (Pb) along with mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other substances in equipment placed on the EU market. Engineers check lead most often, since it has long been used in solder, finishes, and plating across the component universe. A product with even one noncompliant part can be barred from regulated markets, fined, or recalled. That makes lead-free verification a design-time decision, not an afterthought: knowing a part is lead-free and backed by a current declaration is what lets you build a BOM that passes RoHS and its equivalents in China, the U.K., and beyond. Part Risk Manager puts that answer in front of you the moment you open a component.
Every component page shows lead-free and RoHS posture next to the part's parametric data, lifecycle forecast, and risk score. There is no separate database to cross-check and no datasheet to hunt down: when you evaluate a part, its compliance standing is already on the page. This matters most during cross-reference work. When a part goes obsolete and you search for a drop-in alternative, Z2 lets you filter candidates by compliance status alongside form, fit, and function, so you confirm the replacement is lead-free before committing it, instead of qualifying a cross only to find the same restriction problem.
A part is only as compliant as the declaration behind it. Part Risk Manager flags line items where a lead-free or RoHS declaration is missing, ambiguous, or out of date, so gaps surface while there is still time to resolve them. You see which parts need supplier documentation instead of assuming the BOM is clean. Because REACH SVHC lists update regularly and parts move through lifecycle, compliance posture is never static. Z2 refreshes status as regulations change and as parts transition, and alerts you when a change affects a part already in one of your BOMs.
Lead-free status in Part Risk Manager is the fast, design-time view. When you need deep substance screening, full material declarations, or a Certificate of Compliance, the part links into Z2 Compliance Manager, which carries a large FMD and CoC database and covers more than 270 global regulations including RoHS, REACH, PFAS, TSCA, China RoHS, and UK RoHS. The two products work as one workflow: engineers confirm lead-free posture during selection, and compliance teams push the same BOM into Compliance Manager for an audit-ready assessment. Nothing is re-entered, and the two views stay consistent.

Common Questions
Z2 aggregates lead-free and RoHS status from manufacturer declarations, FMDs, and certificates of compliance across more than one billion components. Status appears on every component page next to parametric, lifecycle, and risk data. Where a declaration is missing or unclear, the part is flagged so you know it needs supplier documentation.
Related but not identical. RoHS restricts lead along with nine other substances, so a part can be lead-free yet still carry another restricted material. Part Risk Manager shows both the lead-free indication and broader RoHS posture, and links into Compliance Manager for full screening across RoHS, REACH, and PFAS.
Z2 refreshes status as regulations update and parts move through lifecycle. If a change affects the lead-free or RoHS posture of a part in one of your BOMs, Part Risk Manager alerts you so you can act before it becomes a market-access problem, keeping a once-compliant BOM from quietly drifting out of compliance.
