The BOMcheck industry-lead shared web database for the electrotechnical industry was launched in May 2008 by Siemens, Philips and GE Healthcare.

The Industry Steering Group now also includes OSRAM, Schneider Electric, AGFA, Stryker and British Telecom and directs the development of new functions and features on BOMcheck. The Industry Substance List Working Group identifies and evaluates new substance regulations.

BOMcheck is owned and operated by thinkstep and was appointed as the

Co-Chair of the US Standard IPC 1752A for supplier material declarations in 2010
European Regional Coordinator for the International Standard IEC 62474 for supplier material declarations in 2012.
In 2012 we gathered and consolidated the BOMcheck Steering Group’s experience in complying with substances restrictions and CE marking directives to help write the EN 50581 Standard for RoHS2 Technical Documentation.
