RoHS & REACH Compliance
Material Safety for Global Markets
When custom metal products are sold or distributed in the European Union, the United States, and many other markets, buyers often ask about RoHS and REACH compliance. We follow recognized material safety standards and can confirm compliance requirements for your specific order and destination.
What is RoHS?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) limits the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic products. For metal crafts, relevant concerns include lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium in materials and surface coatings.
What is REACH?
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is an EU regulation that restricts Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in products. It applies to all products sold in the EU, including medals, coins, pins, and keychains.
Child Safety
Products for children require extra attention: avoid sharp edges and points, use rounded corners, confirm attachment safety, and consider choking risks for small detachable parts. We can add warning labels or age guidance when needed.
What We Can Do
- Use lead-free, cadmium-free, and nickel-compliant materials on request
- Confirm plating and coating requirements against market standards
- Provide material certification and test reports when required
- Design child-safe products for schools, youth clubs, and children's events
- Recommend packaging and labeling based on destination market rules
Important Note
RoHS and REACH requirements can vary by product type, destination country, buyer industry, and specific customer contract. Please tell us your target market and any required certifications when requesting a quote, so we can confirm the correct material and testing plan for your order.
