What is Dells RoHS verification process?
Dell requires suppliers to sign a Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC), modeled after ISO/IEC 17050-1, to ensure that all product materials comply with Dell’s chemical policy. This documentation is required for the release of parts into production. A signed SDoC indicates that a product meets the Dell Materials Restricted for Use specification and records any applicable exemptions. Dell may request additional technical documentation, such as internal design controls, supplier declarations or analytical test data. Our objective is to collect supplier declarations for each part in a product’s bill of materials. A second tier in our compliance verification strategy is our supplier RoHS audit program, which includes a traditional audit and an in-depth supplier survey.
