Price: $0.00 Companies around the world are currently working to comply with cur rent and future global regulations that require the tracking and reporting of substances used in their products, such as the le ad currently found in the soldered parts of a computer. Tw o of the most comprehensive regulations were adopted by the European Union (EU). The directive for the Restrictions on the use o f Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) limits the use of six substances in electrical and electronic products and the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive requires producers to provide recovery and recycling programs for the pro cessing of electronic waste. Companies that do not have compliance management programs today will struggle to meet the deadline for RoHS due to the complexity of the regulation and the level of effort required to determine product compliance. Failure to c onform to the directive will introduce potential financial risk including banned or delayed shipments, penalties and exclusion from important markets. This white paper begi ns with an analysis of the many challenges to deploying a cost-effective compliance program and explores the limitations of tac tical approaches. The final section presents recommendations for organizing a compliance task force, optimizing design and suppl y chain processes and deploying information systems for maximum return on investment. ©1998-2008 RosettaNet Privacy IP Policy Contact Us
