RoHS Compliance: A Requirement for Accessing the EU Market

The EU RoHS Directive covers any business that sells electric and electronic equipment (EEE), subassemblies, cables, components, or spare parts in the EU that may contain any of 10 restricted substances. Requirements under the act are well established and equally well enforced.

Overview

Don’t Just Meet Your RoHS Requirements — Start Outdoing Them

While rules for RoHS compliance are well-established, labeling requirements can be complicated, data can be difficult to collect, and the actual data you need often changes as exemptions expire, new substances are restricted, and parts are altered.

Assent’s solution was built in collaboration with supply chain and regulatory experts, giving you the deep insights you need to avoid costly enforcement action despite complex requirements — and continue your company’s growth in the EU.

The Risks of RoHS Non-Compliance

Companies that don’t get the real insights needed for RoHS compliance take on significant risks:

  • Economic loss: Losing access to the EU market could cause major financial pain.
  • Reputation: Bad PR around substances in your products could have devastating consequences.
  • Inability to prove compliance: Without a streamlined process — and deep visibility into your supply chain — it won’t be easy.
  • Taking focus away from your people: In the event of a compliance challenge, staff will spend time resolving the issue rather than focusing on the jobs they were hired to do.
