REACH, which stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, is also a regulation that restricts certain chemicals from being used in products sold and/or manufactured in the EU. However, RoHS only applies to Electronics and Electrical Equipment (EEE), while REACH extends to virtually all products. Consequently, there are 224 hazardous materials; including the 10 that RoHS specifies.

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances or RoHS is a regulation adopted by the EU in 2003. Instituted as a directive in 2006, the intent of RoHS was to make  electronics safer by restricting certain materials from the manufacturing process. Initially, six substances were covered under RoHS; however, through revisions, the list has grown to include 10 substances, which are listed below.

If your electronic circuit board or product will be used in the EU, even if all or some of its parts are manufactured or procured from elsewhere, RoHS and REACH compliance is required.  Therefore, it is important to follow guidelines; such as those listed below, to avoid unnecessary redesign, manufacturing, and other post production costs, as well as any penalties that may be levied for failing to satisfy these safety requirements.

If you’re looking for CAD models for common components or PCBA design guidelines to ensure RoHS and REACH compliance, Ultra Librarian helps by compiling all your sourcing and CAD information in one place. Working with Ultra Librarian sets up your team for success to ensure streamlined and error-free design, production, and sourcing. Register today for free.

RoHS and REACH complianceDeclaration

The European Union (EU) has been a leader in establishing safety standards for products made in or sold in EU countries. However, there are many other countries that have and are instituting similar regulations. Therefore, it is important for PCB designers and developers to understand what RoHS and REACH compliance are and how to design boards to satisfy their requirements, if necessary.

Ultra Librarian offers the world’s largest PCB CAD library, putting cutting-edge materials at your fingertips so you can build better products faster—all for free.

REACH and RoHSdifference

RoHS and REACH compliance is mandatory in the EU now. However, the implementation of similar restrictions is increasing around the globe. If you are not already impacted, the likelihood that your design process will need to incorporate  guidelines like these is high.

There are no shortage of rules, regulations, standards, and guidelines that you must or should follow when designing and developing PCBs and electronics products. Many of these are in place to ensure interoperability, performance, and reliability. However, an increasing number of regulations primarily target the safety of end users, and others that could possibly be affected in the event of a contingency.

For RoHS compliance, none of the banned substances listed above, which may potentially be found in electronic components, electrical wiring, cables, equipment, and enclosures, can be present in electronics products made in, imported into, or used in the EU. Lead, which is a primary material in many solders, is probably the most widely used restricted substance. RoHS compliance is acquired by completing the steps and obtaining a Certificate of Compliance. This enables manufacturers to label their products, indicating adherence to this directive.

REACH also differs from RoHS in enforcement. For RoHS, each member country sets its own framework for handling non-compliance. For REACH, the European Commission oversees enforcement, and violating its provisions may result in civil or criminal penalties, up to incarceration.

Working with us allows you to target the right audience for your component, provide content to nurture them along their design process, and analyze how your parts are being received and used.
