Definition#
Product compliance is the catch-all term for everything a product must meet before it can go on the market, covering both legal rules and customer requirements.
Why the word matters#
People often say "compliance" and mean only chemicals. Keeping the wider term in mind prevents tunnel vision. A part can be perfectly RoHS-compliant and still fail product compliance on a different axis. Material data is what proves the chemical slice. See material declaration.
