Danem Test & Certificate supports manufacturers with RoHS assessment and testing coordination for regulated markets. RoHS evaluation helps confirm that electrical and electronic products, components, and materials meet substance restriction limits and that the required technical documentation is in place for market access.
We support clients from early applicability checks through material and component review, test planning, and coordination of laboratory analysis where needed. Our approach is tailored to the product structure, supply chain reality, and target markets, helping manufacturers reduce risk related to material declarations and documentation gaps.
From the outset, we define the assessment scope, evidence requirements, and expected timelines to ensure a structured and transparent path from evaluation to final documentation readiness.
What Is RoHS?
RoHS refers to EU legislation restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. The main legal framework is the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, as amended, which defines restricted substances, concentration limits, and applicable exemptions.
RoHS assessment typically focuses on controlling restricted substances in materials and components and confirming adequate technical documentation across the supply chain. Testing and verification are commonly based on material declarations and targeted laboratory analysis where required.
Typical products include electrical and electronic devices, control panels, power supplies, lighting equipment, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and electrical assemblies intended for regulated markets.
RoHS Assessment & Testing Process
Our RoHS process is designed to keep requirements clear and reduce supply-chain uncertainty.
Applicability and scope definition
We confirm whether RoHS applies to the product category and define the assessment scope, including any relevant exemptions.
Testing coordination (as needed)
Where appropriate, we coordinate laboratory analysis of materials and components to support the required evidence package.
Documentation and supply-chain review
We review material declarations, supplier evidence, and product documentation to identify gaps and define required proof.
Documentation readiness and market support
We support final RoHS documentation readiness suitable for market access and related conformity assessment files.
Plan your RoHS assessment with clarity
Independent RoHS support for regulated EU markets.
Does RoHS apply to industrial equipment and control panels?
Often yes, depending on the product category and how it is placed on the EU market. We confirm applicability and scope during the initial review.
Do we need laboratory testing for RoHS, or are supplier declarations enough?
Not always. Many projects rely on supplier declarations and documentation, while testing may be used to verify risk areas or close evidence gaps. The required approach depends on product risk and documentation quality.
What evidence is typically needed for RoHS documentation?
Common evidence includes supplier material declarations, component compliance statements, bill of materials, and technical documentation showing controlled materials. The exact package depends on the product and supply chain structure.
How do RoHS exemptions work?
Some applications may qualify for exemptions defined under RoHS, but they are specific in scope and conditions and may change over time. We help assess whether an exemption can be applied and how to document it correctly.
Is RoHS required for CE marking?
RoHS is separate from the CE mark itself, but for many electrical and electronic products placed on the EU market it is part of the overall regulatory obligations. The applicable requirements depend on the product category and relevant EU legislation.
