Dates: 13‐15 January 2010

Location: SEMI 2010, Half Moon Bay, CA, USA

Presenter: Krista Botsford, Botsford EcoTech Partners


Agenda

• Eco‐Compliance Legislative updates impacting Electronics Industry and its supply chain

• Goals and Responsibilities for Compliance• Lessons Learned & Best practices from Industry


Eco‐Legislation impacting Electronics Industry

• Europe ‐ EU – RoHS – 2003, ‘06– WEEE – 2003, ‘05– REACH – 2007, ‘08, ‘09– EuP – 2007– RoHS/WEEE Recast 2008‐09

• Asia– China RoHS – 2006, ‘07, ’09– S. Korea RoHS/ELV/WEEE 2007– Japan JGPSSI– Japan – JAMP– Taiwan RoHS – 2006

• USA Federal– Taking a back seat to health

care legislation.– CA most likely to enact

legislation ahead of federal

• South America– Argentina, Brazil, Chile,

Columbia, Venezuela– Several regions and

countries with take‐back legislation

• Using EU as guidance; but not verbatim


REACH Update

• EU REACH Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals

– Impacts all products• Mainly focused on chemicals, mixtures, articles

– Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)

– Handful of SVHCs used within electronics

– Additional substances to be added annually (~15)

Trends in Product “Eco”‐Legislation

• Green Chemistry legislation – REACH; CA Green Chemistry Initiative– Latest “hot item” within Eco‐compliance legislation.

• Eco‐compliance legislation – continues to expand and change– continues to place demands on manufacturers and suppliers.

– substance‐level legislation will streamline compliance • E.g. supply chain complying with REACH requests


Eco‐Compliance Goals & Responsibilities

• What are your corporate product compliance goals?– Corporate risk management and compliance– Satisfying legislative demands– Satisfying customer demands

• Understand your responsibilities– Legal definition of compliance– Restrictions and exemptions– Waste management– Packaging/Marking– Required reporting– Product defense


Sustaining Compliance


Total Compliance

Data & Information

Policies and

Procedures

News & Updates

Legislative Changes

•Part material breakdown•Life cycle information•Testing results

•Data procedure•Educational Modules

•Product•Company•Legislative

•Conferences•Industry Events•Listservs/Blogs•Group digests

•Regional•National•International


Lessons Learned & Best Practices

• Lesson 1: Process approach– With the constant possibility of changes to any product

eco-compliance legislation, a process needs to be implemented; not simply a project for each type of legislation.

• Best Practices: – Ability to track products by compliance to multiple

requirements and legislative requirements• EU vs China, RoHS vs. REACH, USA by state

– Implementation of the next three lessons learned and best practices.



• Lesson 2: Be ready for an audit – No longer just government audits– more customers or suppliers are performing audits

• Best Practices: – 24 hour turn around time to deliver information– Remote access to data & information

• Technical compliance files should include: component data, corporate policies and procedures, classification/justification documents, roadmap(s) of activities

– Information by substance, component, product• Information should be searchable by component, part number,

supplier status, substance, exemption/variation


Compliance Failures

• Almost 50% of companies audited fail

• 80% of audits are competitive in nature

• Were are the obstacles?– Definition of Due‐Diligence

– Misuse of exemptions

– Program sustainability

– Responsiveness



• Lesson 3: Gather full materials declarations– More and more countries are creating requirements for

materials reporting requirements or materials restrictions.

– Countries with existing requirements are look at adding additional substances.

• Best Practices:– Full materials declarations by weight

– Listed in database by CAS number

– Ability to search database for specific substance



• Lesson 4: Stay current– With changes happening for existing legislation and new

legislation being created, one needs a good service for keeping informed.

• Best Practices: – Industry involvement– Targeted reports – not general knowledge databases or

“tech rags”• Several services provide news; few provide only the info you need

or assist with interpretation and action on changes• Be wary of tech rags and make sure the information you’re using

comes from a reputable source.


It’s not easy going green…

• It’s a Conscious Corporate Decision– Changing critical thinking

• Go beyond substance restrictions and waste management

– Compliance not chaos• Risk elimination

• Business based solution

– Crisp presentation of corporate environmental stewardship

… but the rewards are tremendous.
