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