RoHS

RoHS1

• 2002/95/EC

• Took effect on July 1, 2006

• Restricts 6 substances for in-scope EEE

products placed on EU market

• Focused on consumer electronics

RoHS2

• 2011/65/EU

• Entered in force on July 21, 2011; member

states transposition by January 2, 2013

• Replaced RoHS1 on January 2, 2013

RoHS2 Main Changes

• Scope and scope exclusions

• Definition of EEE

• Restricted substances

• Conformity assessment and CE

marking

• Exemption procedure

Expanded Scope

RoHS2 applies to EEE falling under the

categories set out in Annex I:

1. Large household appliances

2. Small household appliances

3. IT and telecommunications equipment

4. Consumer equipment

5. Lighting equipment

6. Electrical and electronic tools (with the exception of

large-scale stationary industrial tools)

Expanded Scope

RoHS2 applies to EEE falling under the

categories set out in Annex I:

8. Medical devices (beginning 2014; in vitro diagnostic

beginning 2016)

9. Monitoring and control instruments (beginning in

2014) and industrial monitoring and control

instruments (beginning in 2017)

10. Automatic dispensers

11. Other EEE not covered by any of the categories

above (2019)

Exclusions from scope

• Military equipment

• Equipment designed to be sent into space

• Equipment designed and installed as part of another type of

equipment not within scope

• Large-scale stationary industrial tools

• Large-scale fixed installations

• Means of transport

• Non-road mobile machinery for professional use

• Active implantable medical devices

• Photovoltaic panels

• R&D equipment only available on B to B basis

Changed definition of EEE

‘EEE’ means equipment which is dependent

on electric currents or electromagnetic fields

in order to work properly ….etc.

…‘dependent ‘ means, with regard to EEE,

equipment needing electric currents or

electromagnetic fields to fulfil at least one

intended function;

17

RoHS2 CE Marking

• Declaration of Conformity and technical file

required

• CE mark to be affixed on the finished EEE

• The CE mark on a product means that the

product conforms to all CE marking

directives that apply to it, including RoHS2

18

RoHS2 Substance Restrictions

• IPC and industry advocacy resulted in

no additional substance restrictions

Despite significant efforts by NGOs; Green

Party

IPC position: Additional RoHS substance

restrictions should be based on a scientific

methodology

RoHS2, Article 6

• Requires the European Commission to

review the list of restricted substances in

EEE:

Before 22 July 2014

Periodically thereafter on its own initiative; or

Following the submission of a proposal by a Member

State

RoHS 2 Review of Substance Restrictions

• EU Commission hired Environment Agency Austria –

Umweltbundesamt (UBA) to:

Develop a methodology to identify and assess substances based

on the criteria in Recital 10 and Article 6(1) and 6(2);

Assess the substances addressed in Recital 10 with a view to

their future restriction;

Review (for restriction) of priority substances in RoHS 2 Annex II

• Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD)

• Bis (2- ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)

• Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)

• Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)

Methodology Concerns

• Does not require full evaluation of alternative

substances

Can lead to unintended consequences

• Focuses on evaluating the substance’s

environmental and human health impacts during

end of life

Should review full life cycle

IPC Comments on Annex 2 Dossiers

• Dossiers contain a significant amount of inaccurate

information and flawed assumptions

• Reports focus on irrelevant data from uncontrolled

waste treatment in developing nations

• HBCDD dossier assumes that a complete change in

the flame retardant and laminate system would have

no cost impact for EEE producers

Final Report

• Final Report on Study for the Review of the

List of Restricted Substances under RoHS2

issued January 2014

http://www.umweltbundesamt.at/rohs2

• Final dossiers for HBCDD, DEHP, BBP and

DBP

Although the final dossiers acknowledge stakeholder

comments, the findings were unchanged

Recent RoHS2 Updates

• Potential addition of new substances onto the

restriction list

24 substances with 6 levels of priority

• New working group on substance restrictions

formed

Substances Identified for Restriction

Eight substances were identified to be of

highest priority:

• Four phthalates: Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), Di-n-

butyl phthalate , (DBP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) and

Diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP)

• The chlorinated flame retardant tris(2-

chloroethyl)phosphate

• The 2 brominated flame retardants

Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and

• 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol

• Dibromoneopentyl-glycol

26

Substances Identified for Restriction

• Four substances were identified to be of the

second highest priority:

antimony trioxide

diethyl phthalate (DEP)

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and

medium-chain chlorinated paraffins

• The polymer PVC was classified to be of the

third highest priority, in particular because of

its high waste relevance

Next Steps

• Commission is required to complete a review

of Annex II by July 2014

• Next EU Commission substances review in 4

years (2018)

• It is likely that additional substance dossiers

will be submitted by EU Member States by

July 2016, triggering a review of those

substances

28

Exemptions

• Specific exempted applications listed: In Annex III (for all EEE), and

In Annex IV (for medical devices and monitoring and

control instruments only)

• Manufacturers can apply for exemptions Must show no reasonable alternatives, little impact to

environment and health, etc.

• Exemptions have expiry dates 5 years for Categories 1-7, 10 and 11

7 years for Categories 8 and 9

Exemptions -Renewal

• Application to be made 18 months before the exemption expires

• Commission to decide no later than 6 months before expiry date

• Rejection of an application for renewal shall not take effect until at least 12 months and no later than 18 months after the date of the Commission Decision

• Ongoing industry effort to collect technical information on the need to extend certain exemptions

MATERIALS DECLARATION AND ROHS COMPLIANCE

IPC Data Exchange Standards

• B2B communication on materials in products

• XML-schema based

• IPC-1751A contains basic demographic and

contact information

• Four sectional standards

Materials declaration (IPC-1752A)

Packaging declaration (IPC-1758)

Laboratory declaration (IPC-1753)

Conflict minerals declaration (IPC-1755)

34

• IPC Data Exchange Standards:

Defines what data is to be collected and shared

Defines the language (XML) for sharing data

The standard is NOT a reporting form

• Independent third-party providers develop tools (i.e.

forms) compatible with the standards

Data can be easily exchanged among all tools that support IPC-

1755

Some tools provide sophisticated data management

Tools can also interface with internal company systems

Ex. CFSI Template

IPC Data Exchange Standards

IPC-1752A Materials Declaration

• Four classes of declaration allowed

Class A: Declaration/Query Reply

• RoHS, REACH, custom

Class B: Material Group Declaration

• General composition information about a product

Class C: Material Composition Summary Declaration

• Types of substances within a product (i.e. RoHS substance

categories, IEC 62474 Material Declaration substance

categories)

Class D: Material Composition Declaration

• Substances at the homogeneous material level (full materials

declaration)

• Appendices include:

RoHS Substances and Exemptions list

Joint Industry Guide (sunsetted – replaced by IEC

62474 database)

REACH SVHC list

REACH substance restrictions list (Article 67)

• Appendices updated biannually to coincide

with the updates to the REACH SVHC list –

January and July

IPC-1752A Materials Declaration: Appendices

• Committee continues to review potential

enhancements to the standard

• Working to harmonize with the IEC 62474

Materials Declaration Standard

• Committee working to review solution

providers that have developed compliant

software tools

Comprehensive Data Approach

- Complete data on the orderable part level for all materials contained in making of the part.

- Due diligence documentations for legal issues

Regulations

- RoHS/RoHS-2

- China RoHS

- REACH with all of its updates

- WEEE

- Green, JIG-A, JIG-B

Environmental Compliance

Why use data to mitigate RoHS risk?

• Know which end products are most likely affected by RoHS2

• Environmental Challenges/ Regulations are not going away

• Find cross-references for parts that are not RoHS2 compliant

• Access to other imperative information such as Lifecycle Status, Counterfeit Risk, Multi-sourcing Data, and more

• Have an answer to the question: Are my products RoHS2 compliant?
