It also adds Category 11 products. RoHS3 takes effect 22 Jul Lead in very specific applications for Categories 8 and 9 is also exempted under Annex III for a few more years. Will there be a "RoHS 4" There are discussions called RoHS Pack 15 taking place for the possible admendment and inclusion of seven new substances.
REACH is a general regulation and stands for R egistration, E valuation, A uthorization, Restriction of Ch emicals, and addresses the production and use of chemical substances and their potential impact on human health and the environment. Substances on the list have been identified as being carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic, bio-accumulative and toxic, or as endocrine disruptors. WEEE compliance aims to encourage the design of electronic products with environmentally-safe recycling and recovery in mind.
The ELV directive applies to electrical cables, wiring, and associated components used in transportation vehicles. It went into effect July 1, , and limits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium also restricted under RoHS. The conflict minerals are tantalum, tungsten, tin, and gold - referred to as 3TG minerals if they originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo DRC.
Also mined in the DRC is cobalt, which is used in the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles. Cobalt mining is set to increase dramatically to meet this demand. Does RoHS apply to batteries? The Battery Directive restricts the use of lead to 0. This has particular implications for the electric vehicles market given the size of the battery pack. In the case of packaging, it falls under Category 3.
Where RFID tags are permanently attached to equipment or device, it falls under the category of the parent device. Examples of such substances are lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium and cadmium. Manufacturers of electronic devices are required to use more environmentally-friendly alternatives, e.
Since , manufacturers have been allowed to use only CE-certified products. CE see also above. EU Declaration of Conformity With the EU Declaration of Conformity, the manufacturer in the EU or an authorized representative established in the EU confirms that a product he has placed on the market complies with the essential health and safety requirements of all relevant European directives.
WEEE compliance aims to encourage the design of electronic products with environmentally-safe recycling and recovery in mind. RoHS compliance is meant to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals used in electronic manufacturing.
Put another way, RoHS regulates the hazardous substances used in electrical and electronic equipment, while WEEE regulates the disposal of this same equipment.
The RelianceCM staff is highly trained to handle and manufacture RoHS compliant products using dedicated equipment and workstations. We are sure to use specific, unique part numbers to segregate RoHS components so that they can be properly kitted and routed through the facility.
