A Review of Substance Restrictions Worldwide Affecting Electrical Equipment Wednesday, December 12, 2007 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am (CT) Presented by: Dr. Paul Goodman, ERA Technology Ltd. Many countries around the world are introducing legislation based on, and with similarities to, the EU RoHS directive. However, they are seldom identical and manufacturers need to be aware of the differences and the status of legislation. This presentation will provide an update on RoHS-like requirements worldwide (China, US, Japan, Korea etc.) including recent developments that are occurring in the EU. New Requirements: Update on EU REACH Chemicals Regulations and Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive Thursday, December 13, 2007 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am (CT) Presented by: Chris Robertson, ERA Technology Ltd. Electrical products are subject to an increasing burden of regulation with an environmental flavor. While RoHS restricts just six substances, the new REACH chemicals regulation affects over 30,000 existing chemicals. REACH supersedes 40 existing pieces of EU regulation, in particular the Marketing and Use Directive, and places the onus on the party manufacturing or importing a chemical to prove that it is safe. It also puts obligations on users of chemicals and producers of products (called "articles"). REACH will increase the pressure for substitution of hazardous substances. This presentation will review the requirements of regulations, the current status and key actions for anyone in the electrical supply chain.
