Substance & materials
RoHS, REACH, PFAS, and supply-chain substance control
Restricted substances, material declarations, and market-ready chemical compliance programs for electronics and hardware.
What this engagement covers
We map which substance regimes apply to your SKUs and customers, build a supplier evidence program (full material declarations, test reports, certificates), and close gaps with risk-based analytical testing — including Prop 65 and emerging PFAS expectations.
Best fit for
- Electronics OEMs selling into EU retail or industrial channels
- Brands facing retailer portals (RoHS/REACH/Prop 65 questionnaires)
- Companies with complex BOMs and weak supplier data
- Products with coatings, plastics, solders, or batteries driving substance risk
What's included
- Regime mapping by market and customer requirement
- BOM / supplier data collection playbook
- RoHS, REACH SVHC, Prop 65, PFAS screening
- Risk-based lab testing strategy (homogenous materials)
- SCIP / communication obligations support when triggered
- Change control when components or finishes change

How we work
One clear path from classification to market-ready evidence.
Map
Regimes, customers, and SKU risk
Collect
FMD / declarations / CoCs from suppliers
Verify
Analytical testing where evidence is weak
Maintain
BOM change and annual refresh cadence
Engineering notes
Declarations at “product level” are often useless — we push for homogeneous material evidence on high-risk parts.
PFAS and Prop 65 are moving targets; we design a refresh cadence instead of a one-time PDF dump.
