The RoHS Directive has created tremendous complexity throughout the electronics supply chain worldwide.
Manufacturers worldwide are expected to transition all of their parts to RoHS compliant versions, or face huge penalties as well as jeopardise their ability to sell their products internationally.
Specifically, RoHS bans the use of certain substances, such as lead and mercury, above designated concentration levels.
Because of Sea View's commitment to inspire unwavering confidence in the electronic components and services it supplies worldwide, the company has implemented strategies such as employee education, component testing, creating compliance officer and component manufacture experts in-house, hired compliance audits by outside experts, and implemented processes to prevent any cross-contamination between RoHS-compliant and nonRoHS-compliant parts.
Sea View will also expand its comprehensive, environmentally compliant recycling services in order to meet the increasing demand of its customers.
The company aims to share its knowledge with colleagues worldwide, and a high turnout is expected as many companies try to cope with this demanding initiative while the clock is ticking.
The seminar will include an overview of RoHS and WEEE, why they were enacted, a comparative study of worldwide and California developments, case studies, followed by a Q and A session.
