What is it?
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that
promises to affect the complete electronic product supply chain in a most profound way.Effective July 1, 2006, RoHS restricts the import into the EU of electronic product containing levels of specific hazardous materials. Maximum content levels have been established for the following substances: Japan and the State of California will be adopting compliance laws similar to RoHS, with others expected to follow suit. Most, if not all, suppliers in the commercial electronic supply chain will soon transition to a RoHS-compliant product output, as non-compliance means no market access for any OEM’s products. How is supplier compliance met?
OEMs will either request “generic” compliance, or product-specific compliance BUT,
if an audit is requested, the OEM has just 28 days to provide a detailed “Material
Declaration Sheet”.
Is Coretec RoHS-compliant?
Prior to the July 2006 deadline, Coretec deployed significant resources to ensure it was
RoHS-ready. Our RoHS program included the following actions:Coretec’s Denver and Toronto are compliant. An IPC1752 Material Declaration Sheet can be provided on request for all products produced in our Denver or Toronto operations. Coretec is one of a select few PCB suppliers that can provide this Material Declaration Sheet on demand. Sample Material Declaration Sheet
