E-Book24 chapters # UK REACH and RoHS Compliance Handbook A UK REACH and RoHS handbook for electronics: how Brexit split chemical law, registration timelines, SVHCs, restrictions, GB vs NI rules and the UK DoC. The reference you keep open on your desk while you actually run a compliance programme, not a video transcript you have to scrub back through to find one number. This book covers the same curriculum as the Krono Labs UK REACH and RoHS course, restructured for reading, searching, and returning to mid-project. It starts from what Brexit actually did to UK chemical law — the specific legislation, the institutions, and the timeline, including the 2026 amendment that pushed UK REACH's transitional registration deadlines out to between 2029 and 2031. It then builds forward through scoping your own product, registering a substance, screening against the UK candidate list and Authorisation List, applying UK RoHS's ten restricted substances at the homogeneous material level, commissioning and reading laboratory test reports, building a complete technical file, and writing a UK Declaration of Conformity that references the correct legislation rather than its EU predecessor. The UK Only Representative role, downstream user obligations under UK CLP, Northern Ireland's position under the Windsor Framework, real enforcement failure patterns, and a full end-to-end worked walkthrough are all covered in depth, with reference tables and worksheets that go beyond what fits into narrated video. ## What you'll learn * Understand exactly how Brexit split EU REACH and RoHS into independent UK regimes * Determine whether your product or substance is in scope of UK REACH and UK RoHS * Register a substance under UK REACH and track the correct 2029-2031 transitional deadline * Screen a bill of materials against the UK candidate list and Authorisation List * Apply UK RoHS's ten restricted substances correctly at the homogeneous material level * Commission and interpret RoHS testing, including its limitations and sampling strategy * Build a complete technical file and write a legally correct UK Declaration of Conformity * Know when a UK Only Representative is required and manage the Northern Ireland dual regime $24.99 One-time purchase · Read in browser · No subscription * Understand exactly how Brexit split EU REACH and RoHS into independent UK regimes * Determine whether your product or substance is in scope of UK REACH and UK RoHS * Register a substance under UK REACH and track the correct 2029-2031 transitional deadline Buy for $24.99 Secure checkout via Paddle Not what you expected?
