Is Nickel Plating RoHS compliant?

I am to have some fasteners stripped & replated Nickel, my question is, will they be RoHS compliant after the nickel process?

Electrolytic nickel is RoHS complaint. However, electroless nickel traditionally employed lead and cadmium in the formulation and was not RoHS compliant. There are RoHS complaint formulations but you must be sure that that is what your plating shop is using.
