RoHS Substance Testing & Declaration of Conformity — Exporter Checklist
Practical RoHS testing workflow: homogenisation, XRF screening, confirmatory chemistry, and how to support your EU buyer's Declaration of Conformity.
RoHS Substance Testing & Declaration of Conformity — Exporter Checklist
EU importers ask for RoHS test reports that match the exact BOM shipping today — not a report from an old supplier lot. Build a conformity folder your buyer can attach to their CE technical file.
Testing workflow
- XRF screening on homogeneous materials.
- Confirmatory chemistry (ICP-OES / GC-MS for phthalates) where screening fails.
- Supplier material declarations with CAS-level detail.
- Change-control: re-test when plating, solder or PVC supplier switches.
See heavy metals / chemical testing for overlap with REACH SVHC.
