Product Feature
Part Risk Manager shows EU RoHS status for every BOM line item, with the manufacturer documentation and exemption details behind each verdict.
Overview
EU RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EU, RoHS 3 under 2015/863) restricts ten hazardous substances in electronic equipment placed on the EU market, including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. Part Risk Manager makes that posture visible on every component page and across your BOM: each part carries a RoHS status, any exemption it relies on, and the manufacturer source documentation. Compliance sits alongside lifecycle and risk data, so the team sees noncompliance exposure in the same view they use to manage obsolescence.
Z2 maintains EU RoHS status across more than one billion off-the-shelf components, sourced from manufacturer declarations and certificates. Every component page surfaces that status next to parametric data, lifecycle forecast, and risk score, so an engineer evaluating a part for fit and availability sees its RoHS standing in the same view. Upload a BOM and the check rolls up across every line item, replacing a document hunt across dozens of supplier portals with a single screen.
Many components meet RoHS through a specific Annex III or IV exemption rather than substance-free construction, and exemptions expire on their own schedules. Part Risk Manager specifies the exemption type a component relies on, so compliance officers can tell genuine substance-free parts from exemption-dependent ones and plan for exemptions set to lapse. That distinction matters most during design freeze, when an expiring exemption can quietly turn a compliant BOM noncompliant.
A RoHS status is only as defensible as the document behind it. Part Risk Manager links each verdict to the manufacturer's source declaration or certificate, downloadable for audit files, customer requests, and import paperwork. When a declaration is missing or expired, the part is flagged rather than assumed compliant, so the gap is visible before it becomes a border detention, with the evidence tied to the same part record engineers and sourcing already use.
RoHS is one layer of the compliance overlay Part Risk Manager applies to your BOM, alongside REACH, PFAS, and TSCA status per line item. Because compliance lives next to lifecycle and supplier risk, an end-of-life part triggers a cross-reference search where RoHS is a filter from the start, so the replacement is compliant by design. For full substance screening, FMD collection, and certificate generation, PRM links into Z2's Compliance Manager, which covers 270+ global regulations.

Common Questions
It reflects EU RoHS 3, covering the ten restricted substances under 2011/65/EU as amended by 2015/863: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, and the phthalates DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIBP. Status comes from manufacturer declarations and certificates; for deeper screening, PRM links into Compliance Manager.
PRM names the exemption type a component relies on rather than just marking it compliant. That lets compliance officers separate substance-free parts from exemption-dependent ones and track exemptions set to expire, which can turn a compliant BOM noncompliant.
Yes. Each verdict links to the manufacturer's source declaration or certificate, downloadable for audit files, customer requests, and import paperwork. When a declaration is missing or expired, the part is flagged instead of assumed compliant, so you can close the gap before a shipment is detained at the EU border.
