Substance Details
Substances of Concern
The existing entry for Substances of Concern has been extracted from the Industry Restricted and Declarable Substances DSL into its own list. The scope of substances covered is unchanged — this is a structural separation only.
Any existing compliance status for this entry will be automatically transferred to the new list.
The improvement is designed to give companies greater control and visibility into where substances of concern may be present in their supply chains.
New Entry in the POPs DSL — Canada's Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances 2025
A new substance category has been added to the POPs Stockholm Convention DSL to ensure BOMcheck aligns with new requirements from Canada's Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances 2025.
| Substance Category | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Hexabromobiphenyl (HBB) | No intentionally added content |
New Entry for Materials of Biological Origin (applies to medical devices)
To assist with requirements under EU MDR [GSPR 13], a new substance category has been added to the Other Restricted or Declarable Substances DSL, specifically for parts which apply to medical devices.
| Substance Category | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Materials of biological origin | No intentionally added content |
Suppliers of parts for medical devices will be required to indicate if their parts contain any materials of biological origin, and if so, to provide information on the type of biological material (human, animal, microbial, other) and any applicable standards or controls applied.
EU MDR — CMR 1A & 1B Substances
The CMR 1A & 1B substances list in the RCD Tool has been updated to include additional substances from the REACH Candidate List.
As a result:
- Existing CMR 1A & 1B declarations will be set to "Missing" for affected suppliers.
Minor Substance Amendments
- Updated CAS numbers for PFOS entries in the POPs Stockholm Convention DSL, including reclassification of the PFOS anion.
- Updated Azocolourants entry in the Industry Restricted and Declarable Substances DSL — update to the substance name and the associated infosheet to provide greater clarification to suppliers on the limits imposed.
RoHS Exemptions Update
The following exemptions expire in December 2026 and have been updated in BOMcheck to reflect their expiry:
- 6(a)
- 6(b)-I
- 9(a)-III
The exemptions are still selectable by suppliers but will show as non-compliant on the release of Version 9.1.
Updating Declarations
Following the release of v9.1, the BOMcheck team will publish a guidance webinar with step-by-step instructions on how to update Regulatory Compliance Declarations (RCDs).
