How to ensure Legal Compliance at minimal cost
ERA are proposing a new RoHS course to help you train your employees who are carrying out the procedures that ensure compliance. Please let us know whether this would be of interest to you or your company by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.
As the RoHS directive is now in force, manufacturers and importers will be expected to take all reasonable steps to comply with this legislation.
Complete product analysis is rarely possible, so enforcement bodies will expect producers to be able to show due diligence based on documentation and training of staff. However, if the risk of non-compliance cannot be eliminated, recent case law from similar legislation shows chemical analysis will be required.
Proposed course content:
1. Overview of RoHS Directive
- Legal Requirements
- Definitions of terms
- Scope of legislation
2. National implementation and enforcement
- How enforcement bodies will operate
- What enforcement bodies will expect from manufacturers and importers
- What is “Due Diligence”?
- Lessons from relevant past legal cases
3. Overview of RoHS Directive
- Step by step approaches
- RoHS compliance management processes
- How to obtain suitable documentation
- How to assess documentation – can it be trusted?
- How to assess suppliers – can they be trusted?
- Procedures to minimise the risk of non-compliance at minimal cost
- How to determine if more information is required before using components, materials or sub-assemblies – is analysis necessary?
4. Where RoHS substances are used
- Knowledge of where these are used helps to minimise risk
5. Procedures for carrying out analysis if required
- How to deal with contract analysis labs – communication of what you require
- Limitations of analysis techniques and how to overcome these
- Simple screening strategies and more accurate analysis techniques
