REACH, RoHS & SGS: What Importers Should Ask Suppliers

REACH, RoHS & SGS: What Importers Should Ask Suppliers

Compliance is where cheap suppliers quietly fail. Here is what every AOWEIDA shipment can document.

REACH (EU)

Regulates chemical substances. Ask for a Declaration of Conformity and, where relevant, an SVHC statement confirming no substances exceed 0.1% on the candidate list.

RoHS (EU/electronics)

Limits lead, cadmium, mercury and similar in electronic-adjacent goods. Request the test report, not just a self-declaration.

SGS / third-party testing

An SGS or equivalent lab report is the gold standard. Check: the sample description matches your product, the test date is current (≤12 months), and the lab is accredited.

Red flags to avoid

  • A “certificate” that is really a supplier’s Word document.
  • No lot/batch number tying the report to your shipment.
  • Tests older than a year on a reformulated product.

AOWEIDA keeps current reports on file and can attach the relevant certificate to every order. Visit our certifications page for the latest list.
