Electronics & Appliances
Electronics carries the densest regulatory load of any category — six regulations reading one bill of materials, each naming a different document, and most of them signed by you.
TRADE LANE
Non-EU electronics or appliance manufacturer selling finished equipment or assemblies into EU importers and brands.
FIRST THING THAT BREAKS
A “RoHS compliant” statement on letterhead is sent where the directive asks for evidence per homogeneous material.
REGULATIONS THAT REACH YOU
What each of these wants from you.
Your sector is a starting point, not a determination. Which regulations reach a company depends on its products — that is what the platform works out.
Six regulations on one product. Four of them read the same bill of materials, and you sign most of the documents yourself.
RoHSTen substances per homogeneous material — the four phthalates included — with a technical file under EN IEC 63000.OPEN →REACHSVHC screening at 0.1% w/w per article, re-run at each candidate list update, with the Article 33 communication.OPEN →BatteryEmbedded cells and packs: carbon footprint per model and plant, recycled content, and the passport from February 2027.OPEN →Conflict MineralsTin, tantalum, tungsten and gold in solder, capacitors and contacts — smelter list, confirmed on buyer invitation.OPEN →ESPR / DPPElectronics are named in the working plan: expect a passport carrying composition, repairability and recycled content.OPEN →PPWRRetail cartons and protective packaging — substance limits on the whole unit, and a declaration that carries no CE mark.OPEN →
ON THE GROUND
Four things an electronics maker hits in the first month.
01A compliance letter is not a technical fileRoHS measures each homogeneous material; an assurance about the finished product does not evidence that.
02The phthalates were added laterFour were added in 2015 and are the most commonly missed of the ten.
03One BOM, four regulations, four separate requestsRoHS, REACH, Conflict Minerals and ESPR all read the same materials list, usually collected one at a time.
04The embedded cell brings its own regulationA backup battery inside an appliance pulls the Batteries Regulation onto a product nobody flagged for it.
