Eco‐Legislation impacting Electronics Industry
• Europe ‐ EU – RoHS – 2003, ‘06– WEEE – 2003, ‘05– REACH – 2007, ‘08, ‘09– EuP – 2007– RoHS/WEEE Recast 2008‐09
• Asia– China RoHS – 2006, ‘07, ’09– S. Korea RoHS/ELV/WEEE 2007– Japan JGPSSI– Japan – JAMP– Taiwan RoHS – 2006
• USA Federal– Taking a back seat to health
care legislation.– CA most likely to enact
legislation ahead of federal
• South America– Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Columbia, Venezuela– Several regions and
countries with take‐back legislation
• Using EU as guidance; but not verbatim

REACH Update
• EU REACH Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals
– Impacts all products• Mainly focused on chemicals, mixtures, articles
– Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)
– Handful of SVHCs used within electronics
– Additional substances to be added annually (~15)

Trends in Product “Eco”‐Legislation
• Green Chemistry legislation – REACH; CA Green Chemistry Initiative– Latest “hot item” within Eco‐compliance legislation.
• Eco‐compliance legislation – continues to expand and change– continues to place demands on manufacturers and suppliers.
– substance‐level legislation will streamline compliance • E.g. supply chain complying with REACH requests

Eco‐Compliance Goals & Responsibilities
• What are your corporate product compliance goals?– Corporate risk management and compliance– Satisfying legislative demands– Satisfying customer demands
• Understand your responsibilities– Legal definition of compliance– Restrictions and exemptions– Waste management– Packaging/Marking– Required reporting– Product defense

Lessons Learned & Best Practices
• Lesson 1: Process approach– With the constant possibility of changes to any product
eco-compliance legislation, a process needs to be implemented; not simply a project for each type of legislation.
• Best Practices: – Ability to track products by compliance to multiple
requirements and legislative requirements• EU vs China, RoHS vs. REACH, USA by state
– Implementation of the next three lessons learned and best practices.

Lessons Learned & Best Practices
• Lesson 2: Be ready for an audit – No longer just government audits– more customers or suppliers are performing audits
• Best Practices: – 24 hour turn around time to deliver information– Remote access to data & information
• Technical compliance files should include: component data, corporate policies and procedures, classification/justification documents, roadmap(s) of activities
– Information by substance, component, product• Information should be searchable by component, part number,
supplier status, substance, exemption/variation

Compliance Failures
• Almost 50% of companies audited fail
• 80% of audits are competitive in nature
• Were are the obstacles?– Definition of Due‐Diligence
– Misuse of exemptions
– Program sustainability
– Responsiveness

Lessons Learned & Best Practices
• Lesson 3: Gather full materials declarations– More and more countries are creating requirements for
materials reporting requirements or materials restrictions.
– Countries with existing requirements are look at adding additional substances.
• Best Practices:– Full materials declarations by weight
– Listed in database by CAS number
– Ability to search database for specific substance

Lessons Learned & Best Practices
• Lesson 4: Stay current– With changes happening for existing legislation and new
legislation being created, one needs a good service for keeping informed.
• Best Practices: – Industry involvement– Targeted reports – not general knowledge databases or
“tech rags”• Several services provide news; few provide only the info you need
or assist with interpretation and action on changes• Be wary of tech rags and make sure the information you’re using
comes from a reputable source.

It’s not easy going green…
• It’s a Conscious Corporate Decision– Changing critical thinking
• Go beyond substance restrictions and waste management
– Compliance not chaos• Risk elimination
• Business based solution
– Crisp presentation of corporate environmental stewardship
… but the rewards are tremendous.
