3E Exchange's RoHS Compliance Software

Manufacturers and companies use 3E Exchange an RoHS compliance solution to:

• Stay up-to-date on product compliance standards for RoHS
• Use reporting features to see information at a glance or generate in-depth audits
• Make informed decisions about potentially toxic chemicals and materials
• Provide transparent supply chain data to importers, purchasers, and other stakeholders

3E Exchange simplifies reporting, tracking, audits, data analysis, and compliance determinations. Our user-friendly software combines your product data with industry standards and regulations.

Compliance is a complex subject that's constantly evolving. But when the information is easier to review and understand, compliance data can start to work for your company.

3E Exchange and RoHS Compliance

3E Exchange's software brings all of the right info to your fingertips. It tracks supply chain, compliance, and materials data in one central location. Within the software, you can import information on the parts, substances, and materials you use within your products. There's also the capability to upload supplemental data, such as test results, certifications, or SDS files.

If your company is selling products with electric or electronic components within the EU, you will have to comply with RoHS. This includes compiling technical documentation of compliance, as well as completing an "EU declaration of conformity." There must also be a CE marking on the product itself. Additional elements of the legislation apply to the manufacturing process, how long documentation is kept, and more.

3E Exchange is specifically designed to make navigating these complex requirements more simple. And if your team is supplying parts, rather than creating consumer-facing goods, the ability to hand over the correct information to your customers is likely to prove a valuable asset to that relationship.

One big benefit of 3E Exchange's compliance software? Our program stays current with regulatory changes and product changes. It updates scores accordingly and proactively notifies you about any issues that arise from changes. As RoHS requirements evolve, Toxnot updates and adjusts to keep your information current, too.

When things change, you'll see updates reflected in your reports and receive notifications on the status of your products.

3E Exchange centralizes a wide suite of features in one place. Those include the abilikty to easily collect data, the integration of supplier data, the ability to send surveys to suppliers, data inheritance, and a product library. And that's all in addition to many other tools.

Excellent data collection and organization combine with powerful filtering and analytical tools to make Toxnot the ideal spot for managing everything related to compliance.

With 3E Exchange, you have the tools you need to manage RoHS compliance and other environmental regulations. The data and findings are easy to add, edit, analyze, and communicate.

How 3E Exchange simplifies RoHS compliance

If you're already using 3E Exchange for your other ESG goals, it's a simple matter of running your products through the RoHS filter to see how they perform. That's because 3E Exchange compiles all your materials data in one place so you can quickly analyze for risks, impact on the environment, potentially hazardous substances, potential for recycling or circularity, and more.

Not using 3E Exchange? Our all-in-one software solution scales to handle whatever level of usage you need. Get started by adding one finished product, then play around with the software to discover everything you can do with your data.

Importance for companies outside the EU and EEA

Having chemical and material information on hand (and being able to show a transparent supply chain) can make your product more appealing for import. Toxnot gives you the tools to demonstrate regulatory compliance and supply chain transparency.

What products fall under RoHS regulation?

The regulation applies to all products that contain any electric or electronic component. This includes:

• Cell phones and other mobile devices, including tablets and e-readers
• Televisions
• Laptops and PC computers
• Appliances, both large & small
• Toys with electronics or electric elements
• Radios & speakers
• And much more!

There are certain exemptions, such as certain military equipment and select medical devices. However, just because a product category was previously exempt doesn't mean it has remained that way. For example, medical devices as a category used to have a broader scope exemption than they do today.

These changes and updates make keeping up with current standards essential. Good record-keeping and careful tracking of materials and supply chains can help companies future-proof their process.

How does RoHS relate to other standards?

Companies manufacturing and selling products have to keep multiple overlapping standards in mind. These can include California Prop 65, REACH, conflict mineral concerns, and more. While there is some overlap between RoHS and these other standards, just because a product complies with one set of standards does not necessarily mean it will pass muster for another set. Additionally, different authorities and regulations may require different types of authentication or documentation.

3E Exchange integrates all of the relevant regulations you need to track materials and chemicals, communicate throughout the supply chain, and optimize for safety and compliance. It's a centralized system where all of the relevant RoHS compliance data can be accessed, filtered, studied, and shared.

The history of the RoHS Directive

RoHS went into force in February of 2003, with the goal of limiting the amount of certain substances found in electronics. RoHS 1 went into effect in 2006; additional changes have been made over the years.

The European Commission website calls WEEE (or waste electronic and electrical equipment) "one of the fastest growing waste streams." Coordinated, region-wide regulation under RoHS seeks to enact safer practices on a sweeping scale.

Electronic recycling makes the problem even more pressing. Not only does the recycling of electronics with toxic substances (such as lead and mercury) often damage the health of the person doing the recycling, but it can also lead to those substances re-entering the market because of contamination.
