Electri-Cord Compliance

RoHS Compliance

The European Union’s RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU, as amended by 2015/863) restricts the use of ten hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. These include heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, as well as phthalates commonly used as plasticizers in insulation and jackets.

• At ECM, we ensure that our products and components comply with RoHS requirements. This includes careful oversight of materials used in cables, connectors, molded parts, and assemblies.
• We work closely with our suppliers to verify compliance and actively eliminate restricted substances from our products.

REACH Compliance

The REACH Regulation (EC 1907/2006) requires companies to identify and control the use of chemicals that may pose risks to human health or the environment.

• At ECM, we actively monitor the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) list maintained by ECHA and update our compliance programs as new substances are added.
• If any SVHC is present in our products above the 0.1% w/w threshold, we will notify customers in accordance with REACH Article 59(10) and provide the necessary documentation.

Conflict Minerals (CMRT/EMRT)

ECM supports responsible sourcing of minerals in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and international due diligence frameworks.

• We use the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) to collect and disclose information about the presence of 3TG (tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold) and other high-risk minerals in our supply chain.
• Our goal is to ensure that our products are not sourced from operations that finance armed conflict.

PFAS Compliance

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are under increasing global regulation due to persistence and health/environmental risks.

• ECM actively evaluates its supply chain to identify and eliminate PFAS where possible.
• We stay aligned with EU REACH, U.S. EPA actions, and state-level PFAS restrictions.

Full Material Disclosure (FMD)

ECM supports customer requirements for Full Material Disclosures (FMDs) to enable compliance with global regulations.

• We collect material composition data down to the homogeneous material level where available.
• Data formats such as IPC-1752A and other structured reporting templates are supported.

📄 Need a certificate? If you require product-specific FMD data, please contact us at compliance@ecmfg.com.

SCIP (Waste Framework Directive)

The EU Waste Framework Directive (WFD) requires companies to notify the ECHA SCIP database of articles containing SVHCs above 0.1% w/w.

• ECM submits required SCIP notifications for applicable products to ensure transparency in the waste and recycling chain.
• Customers can request SCIP notification numbers as needed.

Tariffs & Country of Origin

ECM understands the importance of accurate Country of Origin (COO) and tariff classification information for our customers’ import and export activities.

• We determine COO in compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rules and international trade agreements.
