Compliance declarations

Producers can request a Declaration of Conformity from the manufacturer of each product or component.

Product labelling

Recent changes to the RoHS Directive means that it has been brought into scope of the CE Marking Directive. This means all products that are required to be RoHS compliant should have the CE Mark on them.

You should use ‘due diligence’ to implement the most relevant compliance process.
