"RoHS and REACH compliance have become more complex in 2025 due to the updates on SVHC, etc. Besides, the surprise reviews of exemptions in RoHS and rigorous market surveillance by the EU have changed the approach of manufacturers towards the chemical safety management. Now, the companies have realized that the strong requirements of RoHS compliance and the full REACH compliance checklist are the only ways to avoid the expensive delays, testing gaps, and supplier-related risks. The situation in 2026 is going to be even worse because of the enforcement that will be especially strict with new CLP labelling and strengthened RoHS limits in China. Therefore, manufacturers will be forced to reconsider their supplier mapping, testing protocols and their documentation quality practices.
The year 2026 will require better digital traceability and stronger supply chain coordination ranging from early XRF testing to proactive monitoring of SVHC. The teams that will update their compliance systems this year will not only be audit-ready, but also will not face any disruption in their shipments.
