RoHS Compliance & Material Assessment

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive plays a crucial role in ensuring electrical and electronic equipment meet environmental and safety expectations. At Heurnova Consulting, we help manufacturers, importers, and distributors achieve full RoHS compliance through comprehensive materials assessment, documentation alignment, and process integration.

Our services begin with a detailed bill-of-materials (BOM) review and supplier data verification to identify restricted substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and regulated flame retardants. We then support you in developing or refining Material Declarations and compliance matrices that integrate seamlessly with your Quality Management or Product Lifecycle systems.

From component-level validation to Declaration of Conformity (DoC) preparation, we ensure your products meet the latest EU RoHS and related global environmental standards. Our experts also assist in harmonizing RoHS requirements with REACH and WEEE directives, enabling unified sustainability and regulatory strategies across your product lines.

Whether you’re preparing for market entry, supplier qualification, or ongoing conformity audits, Heurnova Consulting provides the technical clarity and structured guidance needed to keep your products safe, compliant, and ready for global distribution.

Material Inventory & Substance Screening

Not sure whether any of your components contain restricted heavy metals or flame retardants? We conduct a comprehensive materials inventory and screen each part against RoHS restricted substances, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE, and phthalates.

Through supplier data, SDS review, and targeted validation checks, we establish a traceable baseline of compliance across your product portfolio — ensuring you know exactly where risks exist and where immediate action may be required.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Identify all homogeneous materials within each product assembly
Verify restricted substance content against RoHS thresholds (e.g., Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr⁶⁺, PBB, PBDE, DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP)
Review supplier material declarations and certificates of compliance (CoCs)
Maintain a master material list with supplier traceability

Supplier Management & Declarations

Having difficulty obtaining consistent and verified RoHS declarations from your supply chain? We develop structured supplier engagement workflows, declaration forms, and communication cycles to streamline data collection and verification. This includes supplier responsibility mapping, standardized compliance statements, and escalation pathways.

The result is a resilient, transparent supply chain that removes uncertainty and minimizes risk of undocumented material changes.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Collect and verify supplier RoHS and material compliance declarations (e.g., IPC-1752A format)
Require signed supplier declarations or test reports for all critical components
Implement contractual clauses mandating compliance to current RoHS standards
Audit high-risk suppliers periodically to confirm documentation validity

Testing & Verification

Need laboratory validation to confirm substance compliance — but unsure when testing is necessary or how extensive it should be? We guide the decision-making process for analytical testing, focusing on risk-based triggers such as missing data, supplier changes, high-risk material categories, and known non-compliant regions.

We oversee test method selection (e.g., XRF, ICP-MS), manage lab coordination, and convert raw results into clear, audit-ready compliance confirmations.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Conduct XRF (X-ray fluorescence) screening or full chemical analysis when supplier data is incomplete
Prioritize high-risk materials and suppliers for testing (e.g., solder, plating, PVC cables)
Evaluate lab results for consistency with supplier declarations
Document all verification results in compliance reports or product technical files

Documentation & Technical File Management

Do you need a complete and defensible RoHS technical file for regulatory or customer audits? We organize and maintain structured technical documentation, including material declarations, testing evidence, supplier attestations, and compliance statements.

Whether building from the ground up or integrating into your QMS, we ensure your RoHS files are complete, current, traceable, and readily accessible when requested.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Maintain a comprehensive technical file including test reports, supplier declarations, and material data
Ensure consistency with EU MDR or REACH documentation where applicable
Record conformity evidence for each product family or SKU
Retain documentation for at least 10 years after product placement on the market

Risk Assessment & Material Substitution

Facing non-compliant materials and need practical, cost-aligned alternatives? We evaluate feasible substitution pathways using performance, regulatory, manufacturability, and supply continuity considerations.

You’ll receive prioritized replacement recommendations, compatibility evaluations, and phased transition strategies — enabling compliant redesign without disrupting product performance or production schedules.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Identify parts or processes with high RoHS non-compliance potential
Develop substitution plans for restricted or phased-out substances
Assess functional, safety, and environmental impacts of substitute materials
Track implementation progress and update documentation accordingly

CE Marking & Compliance Declaration

Unsure how RoHS ties into CE marking requirements for your device or product? We develop the required RoHS Declaration of Conformity and integrate it into your broader technical documentation to support CE marking.

You’ll receive finalized declarations, compliance evidence packaging, and configuration control support to ensure alignment across design, regulatory, and market release activities.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Prepare the EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) referencing the applicable RoHS Directive
Ensure alignment with product-specific EU harmonized standards
Verify integration with other CE marking requirements (e.g., EMC, LVD, MDR)
Review conformity statements for consistency across all regulatory scopes

Ongoing Monitoring & Regulatory Updates

Want to stay ahead of new restricted substances and upcoming market region changes? We establish proactive surveillance and change-monitoring systems to track regulatory amendments, supply chain risks, and material usage trends.

You’ll receive periodic compliance status updates and prioritized action plans — keeping your organization aligned as regulations evolve, without reactive scrambling.

Deliverables we can provide include, but are not limited to:

Track and manage RoHS exemptions under Annex III and IV
Evaluate implications of expired or modified exemptions
Monitor international RoHS variants for export products
Integrate periodic reviews with REACH and environmental compliance programs
