WHAT IS ROHS?
Know the materials. Support the claim.
RoHS—Restriction of Hazardous Substances—limits certain substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Directive 2011/65/EU, as amended, establishes the EU framework, including product scope, substance restrictions and specific exemptions.
CEB helps you organise the preparation around your product and supply chain. We review the information available, structure requests for missing evidence and help connect supplier documents with the components they describe. Your team gains a clearer view of what is documented and what still needs attention.

From supplier records to clearer evidence.
RoHS preparation often means bringing together information from several suppliers. We help make those records easier to trace, review and maintain around the product you place on the market.
Evidence linked to the components and materials in your product.
01
Product scope and parts
Clarify the product, its variants and component list, with scope questions and claimed exemptions identified for review.
02
Supplier information
Organise declarations, material information and available reports, and structure requests where evidence is incomplete.
03
Evidence and traceability
Help link supporting records to part numbers, suppliers and product versions so your team can review them consistently.
04
Documentation and updates
Support the organisation of your technical file and the follow-up needed when components or supplier information change.
OUR CONSULTANCY PROCESS
A practical route to organised evidence.
We build the preparation plan around your product and the records you already hold. Clear responsibilities and targeted requests help your team work through missing information without losing sight of the wider dossier.
01
Understand
Review your product range, component list, suppliers and the documents currently available.
02
Plan
Agree the support scope, identify evidence gaps and prioritise questions for suppliers or technical specialists.
03
Prepare
Help organise incoming information and connect declarations, reports and other records to the relevant parts.
04
Review
Review the agreed documentation, record unresolved issues and define how follow-up information will be managed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions, answered.
Useful answers about RoHS consultancy, restricted substances, supplier information and preparing your technical documentation.
No. CEB provides consultancy and documentation support. The manufacturer is responsible for conformity assessment, technical documentation and the EU Declaration of Conformity. Our support does not replace those responsibilities or guarantee compliance.
RoHS currently restricts ten substances or groups: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, PBDE and four phthalates—DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP. Concentration limits apply at homogeneous-material level, with specific exemptions where applicable.
They are an important starting point, but need to be reviewed in context. We help check which parts the records cover and flag unclear, missing or outdated information for follow-up. Further evidence or technical review may be needed depending on the gaps identified.
We do not assume that every component needs a new test. Preparation begins with the product and available evidence. Where questions remain, your technical specialists can determine the appropriate assessment or testing. CEB helps organise the information; laboratory testing is arranged separately.
Some specific uses of restricted substances have exemptions. Their scope, conditions and validity must be checked for the relevant application and equipment category. An exemption cited in an old supplier document should not simply be assumed to remain applicable.
Share a product description, component or bill-of-materials list and supplier details. Include available declarations, material information, test reports and any exemptions you rely on. Tell us about product variants, recent changes and target dates so we can agree the next steps.
