EU ELV Heavy-Metal Compliance

Run each part in your vehicle BOM against the four heavy metals restricted by Directive 2000/53/EC, and see which parts are clear, which rely on an Annex II exemption, and which fall out of compliance.

Four heavy metals restricted across every EU vehicle

The ELV Directive bars lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium from vehicles and their components unless the use appears in Annex II. Compliance Manager assesses your whole automotive BOM against those restrictions, so here is what you get.

How Z2 helps

/1

Out-of-the-box coverage

Much of your vehicle BOM assessed against the four ELV metals from the first upload.

/2

Compliance status

Each part flagged Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant for the four heavy metals.

/3

Item rollup

ELV status carried up every level of the vehicle product hierarchy.

/4

Compliance evidence package

FMDs, CoCs, and supplier documentation behind every ELV assessment.

/5

Supplier outreach

Z2-led campaigns collect the FMDs and CoCs your automotive suppliers still owe.

/6

Monitoring and alerts

Notified when a part crosses a threshold or an Annex II exemption sunsets.

BOM assessment

Assess Your Vehicle BOM Against ELV

Load your automotive BOM and every part is checked against the four ELV restricted metals in one pass.

  • Each part returned as Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant.
  • Substantial coverage from the first upload, drawn from Z2's FMD and CoC database.
  • ELV assessed on the same BOM you run against REACH and RoHS, with no separate project.

Statuses Grounded in Full Material Declarations

ELV determinations come from Z2's declaration and certificate database, backed by manufacturer documentation.

  • Every status supported by a downloadable FMD or certificate of compliance.
  • The applicable Annex II exemption named when a part relies on one.
  • Heavy-metal content measured against the ELV thresholds in homogeneous material, not assumed.
  • Targeted Z2-led supplier outreach closes any remaining coverage gaps.

Know When an Exemption Sunsets

Get alerted when a part exceeds an ELV threshold or when the Annex II exemption it depends on is withdrawn.

  • Alerts the moment a part crosses an ELV heavy-metal threshold.
  • A heads-up when an Annex II exemption behind a part is set to expire.
  • Room to qualify an alternative before a build is affected.

Perguntas frequentes

Which substances does Z2 assess vehicle components against for ELV?

Compliance Manager assesses each part against the four heavy metals restricted by Directive 2000/53/EC, lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, and flags any part above the ELV thresholds in homogeneous material. Where a part stays lawful through a listed use, it names the applicable Annex II exemption.

How does Z2 handle Annex II exemptions?

When a part exceeds a threshold but relies on a use listed in Annex II, Compliance Manager records the specific exemption behind its status and keeps the declaration on file. Because Annex II is revised over time, Z2 also alerts you when an exemption a part depends on is set to be withdrawn, so a lapse never goes unnoticed.

Where do the ELV compliance statuses come from?

Statuses are drawn from Z2's database of full material declarations and certificates of compliance, each backed by downloadable manufacturer documentation. That evidence travels with the assessment, so you can show the basis for every Affected, Not Affected, or Noncompliant designation to a customer or auditor.

How does ELV fit with the rest of my automotive compliance program in Z2?

ELV is one of more than 270 regulations Compliance Manager assesses on a single BOM. The same vehicle BOM is evaluated against REACH, RoHS, PFAS, and your other frameworks in one platform, with item rollup showing status at every level of the assembly from component to finished vehicle.
