RoHS Implementation Issues

This full day workshop continued the efforts of TURI to keep Massachusetts industry on the leading edge of global policy and technological changes. Our intent is to delve into the issues associated with implementation of requirements of the European Union directives known as the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) as the compliance deadline (July 1, 2006) fast approaches.  

Topics and speakers included:

• European Union Guidance on Handling Exemptions, Robert Donkers, Environment Counselor for the Delegation of the European Commission to the United States

• Guidance from IPC Relative to Implementation and Materials Declaration, John Sharp, Environmental & Safety Manager, Teradyne Inc.

• United Kingdom Implementation Case Studies and Recommendations, Dr. Paul Goodman, ERA Technology Ltd.)
