RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Corporate Training
Build team skills for RoHS substance limits, exemptions and supplier evidence, from screening to audit-ready technical files.
This instructor-led program builds your team's RoHS compliance capability end to end: interpreting the directive, applying substance limits and exemptions, collecting supplier declarations, and assembling audit-ready technical files. Guided labs use realistic product data, so teams leave with working templates and evidence packs they can apply to their own product lines immediately.

Program Overview: What is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is Edstellar's instructor-led program for product compliance, quality, and supply chain teams shipping products into regulated markets. Participants master RoHS regulatory foundations, restricted substances and their limits, and exemptions under Annex III and IV. Topics include supplier declarations and evidence, testing and screening, documentation, audits, and nonconformance remediation.
Teams work on their own product lines across the 26 hours. Participants screen bills of materials against restricted substance lists, verify supplier declarations, document exemption justifications, interpret test reports, and run audit and nonconformance drills in guided labs. Instructors coach every evidence package, testing completeness with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone: a complete RoHS compliance file for one product line.
RoHS gaps are costly: a single nonconforming product can trigger recalls, market blocks, and damaged customer trust. This program teaches your team to screen materials systematically, collect supplier evidence rigorously, and document exemptions defensibly. Compliance becomes a controlled process, not a scramble before shipment.
The capstone is a complete RoHS compliance file for one of the team's own product lines: screened BOM, verified supplier declarations, exemption justifications, and test evidence, reviewed by instructors. Compliance teams return with a file that survives audit and a method they can repeat for every product.
Across seven modules, teams screen bills of materials against restricted substance lists, verify supplier declarations, document exemption justifications, interpret test reports, and run audit and nonconformance drills. The program closes with a capstone in which each team assembles a complete RoHS compliance file for one of its own product lines, reviewed by the instructor. Content is tailored to your products, markets and supply chain before delivery, and the 26-hour schedule runs in hybrid mode with live virtual sessions and guided labs.

Teams that Benefit from this RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Group Training
Designed for the groups that own RoHS compliance end to end: regulatory, quality, engineering and supply chain teams who live with substance restrictions and audit duties. Content adapts to each cohort's role and experience, so every group practices the workflows it owns.
Own RoHS duties with total confidence
For the teams that sign off on compliance: interpret the directive correctly, track exemptions and answer audit questions with documented evidence.
Workflow friction
- Exemptions expire faster than internal tracking
- Declarations arrive incomplete or unverified
- Audits expose gaps in documented justification
How the program helps
- Interpret RoHS scope and duties the same way, every time
- Track exemptions, expiries and renewals with less effort
- Answer audit and surveillance requests with clean evidence
Practice use cases
- Substance screening labs
- Exemption tracking
- Audit evidence packs
Turn compliance checks into a repeatable system
For quality teams embedding RoHS into daily operations: standard screening workflows, measurable readiness and files that survive audits.
Workflow friction
- Screening practices vary across sites and teams
- Late findings delay launches and cost rework
- Test evidence is scattered across systems
How the program helps
- Standardize screening and declaration workflows
- Measure audit readiness before regulators do
- Reduce rework from late compliance findings
Practice use cases
- Screening workflows
- Test plan drafting
- Audit preparation
Design products that pass RoHS first time
For design and engineering teams choosing materials and components: know the restricted substances early and avoid costly redesigns.
Workflow friction
- Substance risks surface after design freeze
- Component data lacks substance detail
- Redesigns cost time and budget late in cycle
How the program helps
- Select compliant materials at design stage
- Avoid redesigns from late substance findings
- Document design decisions for the technical file
Practice use cases
- Material selection labs
- BOM screening
- Design reviews
Get the supplier data compliance actually needs
For procurement and supply chain teams: request the right declarations, verify what comes back, and keep substance data flowing.
Workflow friction
- Suppliers delay or resist full disclosure
- Declaration formats vary wildly by supplier
- Data goes stale as lists and parts change
How the program helps
- Request complete declarations from every supplier
- Verify and reconcile declaration data quickly
- Keep substance data current across the chain
Practice use cases
- Declaration requests
- Supplier verification
- Data maintenance
Cohorts can mix functions or run per team; labs are tailored to the product lines each group owns.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
RoHS comes second, after REACH. Both control hazardous substances, and REACH gives your team the wider chemical compliance picture first. The path then combines them into full product compliance and ends with the Digital Product Passport and eco-design work.

Build Traceable RoHS Evidence From Substance Limits to Remediation Decisions
Edstellar develops RoHS assessment skills through product evidence and realistic compliance cases. Participants examine restricted substances, exemptions, supplier declarations, and test reports before practicing nonconformance response. The resulting product compliance file is reviewed for consistent determinations, traceable supporting information, and clear documentation of unresolved evidence or corrective actions.
- Step 01
Consult
We discuss product-compliance ownership, supplier evidence gaps, and familiarity with substance restrictions to focus learning on screening and documentation decisions.
- Step 02
Plan
Regulatory scope and substance limits lead into exemptions, supplier declarations, testing evidence, nonconformance handling, and an integrated product compliance file.
- Step 03
Align
Product regulatory and quality expertise supports engineering and supply-chain roles, with foundational explanations for participants unfamiliar with RoHS responsibilities.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample bills of materials, declarations, and test reports reflect relevant product types, allowing teams to examine evidence quality without exposing supplier information.
- Step 05
Execute
Teams check concentration thresholds, evaluate documentation, and rehearse nonconformance containment, receiving feedback on evidence sufficiency, exemption reasoning, and corrective actions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the product compliance file for consistent substance determinations, traceable supplier evidence, justified exemptions, and documented handling of identified gaps.
