Current challenges in Environmental Compliance

Environmental regulations are pushing the industry to share environmentalinformation within the supply chain: e.g. RoHS and REACH Directives

Challenges for the industry:

No standard way to share information Sharing information requires infrastructure, knowledge and resources Need to convince suppliers to disclose information

Current challenges in Environmental Compliance

Environmental regulations targeting EEE are growing fast and changeFrequently: e.g. REACH SVHC Candidate list changes every 6 months!

Challenges for the industry:

Need to build up in-house regulatory knowledge Need to keep track of regulatory changes and updates worldwide Need to update compliance information provided by suppliers

Environmental Compliance: current initiatives

Joint Industry GuidePublished by the Consumer Electronics Association

Aim: guide suppliers to understand the materials and substances to be disclosed if present in EEE.Information on:•Thresholds•Related regulations•If substance is subject to restriction/information requirements

IPC Association Connecting Electronics Industries

Provides a standard (IPC-1752A) to be used by suppliers to disclose material information.Suppliers can disclose RoHS information, but also full material declarations at the article and homogenous level.

Bomcheck.net - ENVIRON

Bomcheck.net is an web-based platform that allows suppliers to submit environmental declarations to their customers online.

Suppliers can submit both substance declarations (e.g. for RoHS or REACH) and full material declarations.
