Understand the requirement
RoHS concerns restrictions on specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment within the applicable regime. The familiar phrase RoHS licence does not describe one universal government-issued licence. Scope, material limits and exemptions depend on the target market and product, with EU RoHS forming part of the relevant conformity framework.
A useful evidence file goes beyond collecting a generic supplier letter. We help relate declarations and reports to identifiable components, materials and product versions, then flag gaps for further review or targeted testing. This gives purchasing and engineering teams a shared basis for assessing changes, especially when a component is replaced or a new supplier is introduced.
Who this service is for
- Electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers
- Exporters preparing EU-market evidence
- Brands managing multi-supplier component lists
- Procurement teams reviewing material declarations

- Supplier material declarations
- Available substance test reports
- Technical documentation and exemption justification where relevant
Frequently asked questions
Will we receive a universal RoHS licence?
No. Our service supports product-specific compliance evidence. The required declarations and conformity steps depend on the applicable market rules.
Is one supplier declaration always sufficient?
Not necessarily. Its product coverage, detail and relevance must be reviewed alongside the rest of the evidence.
Are RoHS and e-waste EPR the same?
No. Substance restrictions concern product composition; EPR addresses defined waste-management responsibilities. Both may require separate consideration.
Important to know
EU RoHS is the reference framework described here. Other jurisdictions, including India, must be assessed separately; no blanket cross-market compliance is implied.
