RoHS and REACH¶

Can we post customer specific Certificates of Compliance?¶

For build-to-spec items, it is acceptable to publish customer specific certificates of compliance.

For off-the-shelf items, industry best practice is to publish certificates of compliance common to all customers. This will allow you to author your compliance information one time, and more importantly, make it easier to update your compliance information. If you make certificates of compliance that are customer specific, when you update them, you will have to update every single document each time. This is a time consuming process, and will negatively affect your supplier rating with customers.

Why does GDX show missing RoHS or REACH Coc error message even if I attached document for RoHS and REACH?¶

GDX allows suppliers to indicate document attachment type present in the declaration. Attachment types include certificate (for certificates of compliance), test reports, datasheets and Material Content Disclosure (MCD). For RoHS and REACH, you must now indicate one of the documents you attached as the certificate of compliance; otherwise, GDX will not allow you to publish your parts.
