Substances & supply chain

Materials and substance compliance

RoHS, REACH, PFAS, Prop 65, and related substance programs — from BOM scrutiny and supplier declarations to market-facing statements that match what you actually ship.

BOM-level truth

Marketing claims fail when a single part is out of scope — we dig into the bill of materials.

Supplier evidence that works

Full material declarations and CoCs structured for audits.

Region-specific rules

EU, California, and emerging PFAS rules treated as one program.

Standards & pathways we support

We do not list every acronym for show. These are the frameworks this service typically engages — scoped to your product after a short intake.

RoHS

Restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

REACH / SVHC

Registration, evaluation, and substance communication duties.

SCIP

EU database obligations for SVHC in articles.

Prop 65

California warning and exposure assessment considerations.

PFAS restrictions

Emerging bans and reporting — scoped to your chemistry.

Packaging & EPR

Where packaging substance and EPR rules intersect.

A clear path from intake to mark

Scope

Product, markets, and claims — we define what must be true to sell legally.

Gap analysis

Design, labeling, and evidence gaps before you spend on formal testing.

Test & remediate

Lab coordination, failure triage, and efficient retest planning.

File & maintain

Documentation pack, declarations, and change-control advice.

What you leave with

  • Substance compliance scope by market
  • BOM / FMD collection plan
  • Gap list and supplier chase process
  • Labeling and disclosure recommendations
  • Evidence pack for customers and auditors

Common questions

Can we just get a RoHS certificate online?

Cheap certificates without BOM evidence create risk. We focus on defensible supply-chain evidence.

Do you test every part?

Testing is selective and risk-based. Declarations plus targeted testing is the usual efficient path.

Is PFAS in scope for electronics?

Often yes — coatings, gaskets, and process chemicals can be implicated. We scope before you overreact.
