Overview

EN IEC 63000 is the checklist for your RoHS paperwork. It tells a manufacturer exactly what evidence to gather and keep to prove a product is RoHS-compliant.

Key point

RoHS requires a manufacturer to hold technical documentation. Compile it to EN IEC 63000 and you get a presumption of conformity, a recognised, auditable way to show the documentation duty is met.

What it covers

The standard specifies the documentation needed to assess electrical and electronic products against substance restrictions, such as:

  • the bill of materials and breakdown of parts and materials;
  • supplier declarations and material or substance data, for example via IEC 62474 or IPC-1752A;
  • evidence of supplier reliability and, where needed, analytical test results.

Where it sits

The regulation

RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EU) says you must hold technical documentation proving compliance.

The standard

EN IEC 63000 says how to assemble that documentation so it is presumed to satisfy the obligation.

It replaced EN 50581:2012 and is maintained in the family of work around IEC/TC 111.
