participants, regardless of membership
• Over 1,000 standards exist within the IPC
library
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?
