RoHS and REACH: The Documentation Requests

Material compliance is won at the request stage. This page itemizes what to ask for on the electronics side and the materials side, and what weak answers look like.

RoHS and REACH are different frameworks with one practical similarity: outcomes depend on how precisely you ask. A generic request returns a generic declaration; a component-level request returns documentation that describes your product. The framework overviews sit in the certification guide and the REACH note; this page is the request list.

The requests

ScopeRequestNote
Electronics (RoHS)Declaration covering the boards, cables and modules, with homogenous-material logicPowered and smart models
Plastics (REACH-aligned)Declarations per resin and color, including colorantsShell, tray, hood, drawer
Textiles and films (REACH-aligned)Declarations for liners, mats, adhesivesInclude inks and laminates
Test reportsScoped per component where declarations are thinStructure per the test reports page
Change noticeWritten notice on any material or supplier changeDeclarations expire when the material does

Red flags in supplier answers

Filing discipline

Index declarations per component and color in the same file as the technical documentation, link them to the tech pack BOM lines, and re-request on any change. The vetting questionnaire asks which declarations already exist, so the request list only pays for the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does RoHS apply to passive trays?
RoHS targets electronics; passive boxes rely on the material-side frameworks, while powered models carry both.
Is a supplier declaration enough?
Declarations are the baseline; scoped test reports fill gaps and satisfy marketplace or retail asks.
When do declarations need renewing?
When the material, colorant, supplier or process changes; a change-notice clause keeps them current.
