RoHS Compliance
Arena has worked with dozens of manufacturers to achieve RoHS compliance by providing them the most effective and easy-to-implement PLM tool in the industry.
European Union RoHS 2002/95/EC Directive
Shipping products that are covered by RoHS to Europe amounts to claiming compliance for each unit in the shipment.
Therefore, the producer should be able to demonstrate RoHS compliance by submitting a “RoHS technical file” to the enforcement authorities upon request.

RoHS Compliance Overview
Arena PLM supports RoHS compliance by:
- Tracking part compliance status including exemptions against multiple regulatory requirements.
- Documenting compliance evidence like certificates of compliance, material declarations (e.g., IPC-1752), part screening reports, and supplier audits.
- Enabling efficient Design for Environment (DfE) programs by putting relevant compliance information at the design engineer’s finger tips.
- Collaborating with supply chain partners to gather compliance data, manage part changes, and communicate phase-out information.
- Report on RoHS compliance by instantly generating a “compliance BOM” report of their product, for current as well as historic revisions.
- Implementing and documenting operational controls like ECO compliance impact analysis and closed-loop corrective actions for their Compliance Assurance System (CAS).
With Arena PLM we can properly track, document, and report on
RoHS compliance, and are confident we will be well prepared for the next wave of regulations.”
