July 13, 2004 8am-Noon: EU RoHS/WEEE Compliance Seminar for the Silicon Valley
DCA and EPTAC Corporation are pleased to announce a management-level seminar
on the impact of the EU Reduction of Hazardous Materials (RoHS) and Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directives to Electronics OEMs.
These directives take effect as early as August, 2005. You cannot wait until
2006 to get started. Your materials suppliers are shipping Lead-Free and
RoHS-compliant products today and your competitors are preparing for the
transition today.
More than simply a "manufacturing issue", whether or not your products are
fully or partially "exempt", and whether or not you ship products in to the
EU, these directives will impact product development and manufacturing
business processes and people, your existing relationships with the supply
base, and require marshalling additional resources that will have to be
addressed in your budget. This management-focused seminar will give you the
insights and tools you need to start planning for how these directives will
impact you and your company and for how you will meet their requirements.
Key Topics Covered
Overview: The Big Picture
Lead-Free: Legislation, Materials
Business Environment: Cost of non-conformance, materials availability,
