RoHS and REACH document kit: declaration of conformity, technical documentation and REACH Article 33 statement

Before electrical or electronic equipment is placed on the EU market, its manufacturer draws up technical documentation, carries out internal production control (Module A), draws up the EU declaration of conformity and affixes the CE marking (Article 7 of Directive 2011/65/EU). Under Article 33 of REACH, a supplier also tells its customers which Candidate List substances an article contains above 0,1 % by weight. Type your company and products once; the kit writes these documents as Word files you can edit and sign.

Products

Product 1
As marked on the product, for example LD-40.
A batch code, a range or a list, as marked on the products (Article 7(g)).

It goes into the technical documentation. Annex IV exemptions exist only for categories 8 and 9.

What it is and how it is built, for example a 40 W LED driver on one circuit board. It opens the technical documentation and goes into point 4 of the declaration.
The number and what it covers, for example III 7(a): lead in high melting temperature solders. Write None if there are none.
For example EN IEC 63000:2018. Where one was applied only in part, name the parts.
Who declared what, for which part or material, and when.
Laboratory, report number and date.
With the publication reference, for example Directive 2014/35/EU (OJ L 96, 29.3.2014).

Counted in each article of the product, including each part that is an article itself (Article 33 of REACH).

Languages of the declaration (your countries of sale)
The European Chemicals Agency updates the list about twice a year.

What is in the files

  • the technical documentation of each product: the ten restricted substances of Annex II with their maximum concentrations and a column for your evidence, the exemptions you rely on, your supplier declarations and test reports, and the six elements of Module A;
  • the EU declaration of conformity (Annex VI) in each language you choose, in the wording published in the Official Journal in that language;
  • the REACH Article 33 information for your customers, written from your answer: none above 0,1 %, or the substances and the information for safe use;
  • a read-me with what the kit leaves out.

The ten substances

Lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and the four phthalates DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP: 0,1 % by weight in homogeneous materials. Cadmium: 0,01 %. The phthalates were added by Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 and apply to medical devices and monitoring and control instruments (categories 8 and 9) from 22 July 2021. Annexes III and IV list exemptions, many with an expiry date; Annex IV applies only to categories 8 and 9.

Who must do what

The manufacturer draws up the documents and keeps them for 10 years after the product is placed on the market (Article 7). An importer checks that the manufacturer has done so and keeps a copy of the declaration for 10 years (Article 9). The declaration is translated into the language or languages required by the Member State where the product is sold (Article 13). The harmonised standard EN IEC 63000:2018 describes how to build the technical documentation from supplier and material information; the kit leaves the standards for you to name.

What the kit does not do

It does not test your product or judge whether an exemption covers your use. The category, exemptions, evidence and REACH answer are yours; whatever you leave empty is marked TO COMPLETE. The kit never writes that a substance is below its limit. It does not check the Candidate List for you, notify the SCIP database, or cover REACH restrictions, WEEE registration or other directives such as electrical safety.

Nothing you type leaves your browser; the files are built on your device. Templates, not legal advice. The declarations quote the Official Journal; everything you type stays as you typed it and is not translated. The other files are in English.
