The Datasheet should be sufficient to show that the past is RoHS complaint.

If you're trying to satisfy a quality auditor that doesn't really understand PCB assembly, you could try requesting a statement letter from the past manufacturer stating that the paste is RoHS compliant. Auditors like official looking letters.

Thanks DWL! As you say, i am dealing with quality auditors. I will follow your advice. I'll ask for a statement from the manufacturer. Thanks a lot

At the same time ask for the technical data sheet and the Safety Data Sheet.

You don't know what other auditors you may have to deal with in the future.

And someone should have all the SDS's in a binder for all the chemicals that you use.
