What is driving this change? Primary global initiatives that concentrate on Material Composition and Hazardous Material reporting mandates by the European Union [Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances – RoHS] and other Gov er nments in Asia such as China and Singapore and North America (California Proposition 65) as well as de sign improvement initiatives and cost control initiatives by major corporations across industries.
AMR Research indicates that this initiative around compliance with RoHS will cost corporations from 1 to 2 percent of their revenues and about 6% of their IT budgets, citing that the biggest ch a llenge will be gaining “access to the information”.
Companies will have to answer questions such as:
- Which parts are RoHS compliant?
- Are there part number changes?
- Will packaging of parts be conspicuously labeled as compliant?
- If there are no parts number changes, how will be able to order comp liant parts?
- How will be notified of changes?
- When will samples be available?
- When will product parts be available?
- Are there price changes?
In essence, a vendor will be given a Bill of Materials and asked to an swer all the above questions.
This package, presents the issues at hand and descriptive solutions that allow your company to implement an automated solution.
