Distributor claims comprehensive RoHS coverage

Farnell InOne reckons it now offers nearly twice as many stock keeping units under the RoHS Trusted BSI Kitemark as its nearest competitor.

Farnell InOne reckons it now offers nearly twice as many stock keeping units under the RoHS Trusted BSI Kitemark as its nearest competitor.

Farnell InOne is able to assure such a market leading number of compliant products due to its unique approach to RoHS and its stringent policy of changing part numbers to clearly segregate compliant and noncompliant stock even where the manufacturer hasn't changed them.

Farnell InOne provides a certificate of compliance for each RoHS compliant product made available after an exhaustive due diligence process.

A complete audit trail for each product, rigorous risk assessments for suppliers, random product testing, and the request for independent test results from higher-risk suppliers mean that customers can be confident that every individual component will have been through a stringent and rigorous process to confirm it is RoHS compliant.

Gary Nevison, Head of Product Market Strategy at Farnell InOne, explains: "Farnell InOne believes that going the extra mile is essential so that we can put our customers' minds at rest".

"Our commitment to RoHS compliance goes way beyond the industry standard".

"Distributors who aren't changing part numbers and so may be holding stock in mixed bin locations are going to be leaving engineers unsure of whether they are using compliant or noncompliant products in design".

"Farnell InOne's rigorous approach enables us to offer customers a much greater degree of certainty".
