Overview

Most RoHS declarations are not defensible because they do not state what is covered. This template fixes that: it forces scope, homogeneous material coverage, exemptions disclosure, and a change notification commitment.

Section 1

How to use this template

Send this template to suppliers for parts, materials, and subassemblies used in your EEE.

Require a declaration per part family (or per material family) and tie it to part numbers and revision identifiers.

  • Use for: components, cable assemblies, plastics, coatings, solders, and subassemblies
  • Tie to: part numbers + supplier revision + date + manufacturing site(s)
  • Store in: your EN IEC 63000-aligned technical documentation evidence vault
Recommended next step

Keep EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) Supplier Declaration Template in one governed evidence system

SSOT can take EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) Supplier Declaration Template from reusing this material inside a governed evidence system to a reusable workflow inside Sorena. Teams working on EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) can keep owners, evidence, and next steps aligned without copying this guide into separate documents.

Section 4

Verification triggers (when you test anyway)

A declaration is not the end of control. Define when you verify and what happens when results conflict.

This protects you against silent changes.

  • Trigger verification on: new supplier, material change, process change, or inconsistent declarations
  • Target testing on homogeneous materials (not whole assemblies)
  • Define actions: quarantine, supplier corrective action, requalification, redesign decision
