Frequently Asked Questions on RoHS
Find quick answers to the most important questions about RoHS compliance and how they affect your business.
RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. It's an EU directive that limits ten specific substances - including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) - in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The directive evolved in three key stages:
- RoHS 1 (Directive 2002/95/EC) introduced the original restriction of six substances and came into effect in 2006.
- RoHS 2 or "RoHS Recast" (Directive 2011/65/EU) replaced RoHS 1 in 2011, expanding the scope to include medical devices and monitoring instruments, introducing CE marking obligations, and formalizing exemption lists.
- RoHS 3 (Directive 2015/863) amended RoHS 2 by adding four additional phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP), bringing the restricted substance count to ten.
The directive applies to manufacturers, importers, and distributors who place EEE on the EU market. However, RoHS-like regulations are also enforced in countries like China, South Korea, Turkey, the U.S. (California), and more. Covered products range from consumer electronics and household appliances to industrial controls, medical devices, automotive electronics, and even toys. Products must not exceed the defined concentration limits and must meet documentation and labeling requirements to be legally sold.
Achieving RoHS compliance requires companies to have full visibility into the materials and substances used in every component of their products - down to the supplier level. Manufacturers must assess the presence of restricted substances, test materials where needed, and gather accurate declarations from suppliers.
Additionally, multiple regulatory frameworks exist globally, each with its own scope and thresholds. This creates challenges in data management, supplier engagement, and maintaining compliance as regulations evolve. Managing RoHS exemptions, tracking product updates, and ensuring alignment with CE-marking requirements (e.g., EN 50581) further increase the complexity.
Non-compliance can result in significant financial and operational consequences, including fines, customs seizures, withdrawal of products from the market, and legal liability. Products without proper documentation or exceeding substance limits can be blocked from being sold in the EU.
Beyond legal penalties, companies risk reputational damage and the loss of strategic partnerships, particularly in sectors with strict procurement and ESG standards. A single non-compliant component can jeopardize the marketability of an entire product line, making robust RoHS compliance a business-critical function.
iPoint Compliance is a purpose-built software platform that automates and centralizes RoHS compliance processes. It enables manufacturers to collect material data and certificates of compliance, request missing information from suppliers, and validate data against current RoHS thresholds and exemptions.
The platform supports integration with systems like ERP and PLM, ensuring consistency and traceability across your organization. With tools like the Compliance & Substance Inspector (CSI), users can perform real-time conformity checks across multiple RoHS variants (EU, China, Korea, California, etc.) and generate documentation such as CE declarations and RoHS letters. All this reduces manual effort, ensures up-to-date compliance, and supports risk mitigation and audit readiness.
While RoHS originated in the EU, similar regulations have been adopted by many countries, including the UAE, Japan, India, Turkey, Serbia, Vietnam, and several U.S. states. Although each jurisdiction has its own regulatory nuances - such as different scopes, reporting obligations, or exemptions - they share the same core goal: reducing hazardous substances in electronics.
iPoint Compliance helps companies navigate this global complexity by maintaining an up-to-date regulatory ruleset, supporting multiple country-specific RoHS versions, and allowing organizations to manage everything through one centralized platform. This ensures global market access, reduces duplication of effort, and strengthens long-term regulatory resilience.
