Hi,
I'm gathering documentation for RoHS and REACH compliance for a product I'm planning to sell. Many of my components come from McMaster Carr (MM) and the data sheet states that they are REACH and RoHS compliant. Is making a .pdf or taking a screenshot of the datasheet good enough to build my technical file? Let's for example consider this simple screw 91290A117 from MM (I cannot post a link because I'm a new user).
I've read an excerpt from EN50581:2012 (the standard that says what documents are OK for the RoHS technical file) saying that you can use:
1. a certification of compliance (CoC) from the company (with name and signature): the MM page does not have a signature.
2. a data sheet: "1. The data sheet must be from the original manufacturer". Can MM be considered as the original manufacturer?
If not, would that mean that for every MM component I should send an email to MM asking either for a certification of compliance or for the product number and manufacturer and then get the datasheet or CoC from the original manufacturer? One reason I selected McMaster is that the RoHS/REACH is so easy to check in a few clicks. I hope I do not have to go back to original manufacturers to prove my RoHS/REACH compliance.
Thanks a lot for any help
