Europe's first - and much needed - guide to compliance with the EU's complex Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive has been launched today by Farnell InOne.
Europe's first - and much needed - guide to compliance with the EU's complex Restriction of the use of Certain hazardous substances (RoHS) Directive has been launched today by Farnell InOne, in association with consultancy, ERA Technology. Farnell InOne, the award-winning international distributor of electronic and industrial components, has compiled A Step-by-Step Guide to Compliance with the RoHS Directive with ERA, in response to an unprecedented number of requests for help from customers and suppliers. European businesses must conform to the Directive by July 2006.
Gary Nevison, Head of Product Market Strategy at Farnell InOne, comments: "We were one of the first to put up a dedicated area about the Directive on our website, which has received a massive number of hits from people desperately seeking information.
What prompted us to go on to produce this guide was the single most asked question on the site - 'What do I need to do to comply with RoHS?' We believe the launch of this guide will provide the first comprehensive aid for everyone affected by the new legislation."
