The above article is nice. There is a question If your products are currently exempt from the lead-in-solder restriction, do you have plans in place for a lifting of the exemption?Thanks

I believe we need to check below things to do.

1. Check whether you provided your internal specification for control of banned/hazardous materials to supplier.

2. Check the awareness of supplier staff on RoHS & related compliance. Provide them the Education on awareness/training on Compliance

3. Raw materials used by Supplier /sub-supplier for the finished products being supplied.

4. Control Plan for RoHS Compliance listing its test frequency.

5. Change management system being followed for Materials, Machines, processes, sub-supplier etc.

6. Supplier/sub-supplier declaration of RoHS Compliance

6. Storage systems/procedures of supplier for maintaing Compliant/Non-compliant materials.

7. Plan for replacement of banned substances if present in existing supplies.

8. Check their Supplier Internal AUDIT details etc

9. Third Party test reports of raw materials testing for RoHS Compliance per specified frequency.

10. Check for Quality control Plan for receiving Inspection & DFMEA CAPA’s accordingly.

I believe this is small part of Audit for checking RoHS Compliance.
