In our experience purchasers/compliance officers in large retail organisations expect to explicitly see the RoHS amendment listed in the DoC text as per Mike writes below, because this ticks their box that the product has addressed the additional four substances the amendment was concerned with. They may also want it to say ‘RoHS 3’ in the DoC and supporting documentation (technical file) too.
Hence a triumph of commercial requirements/persons with clipboards(!) to use colloquial terms and extra words over the actual obligation. I gave up arguing and just did what they wanted, path of least resistance and all that! Have had some other run ins with some retailers on some other things too that weren’t relevant to the product in question, but they wanted it declared none the less. I won that one though 😊 A story for my book for whenever I get to retirement age (probably never because the UK will be broke by then but I digress!) Matthew Wilson, GB Electronics (UK) Ltd.

The same goes for any exemptions you may have applied, or indeed have previously applied but have now expired.
