EU RoHS directive in 2007 to lock the terminal assembly plant-RoHS directive, LCD upstream – HC Network Appliance Industry
EU RoHS Directive in July last year, the road, but there are still many home electronic appliance manufacturers and downstream supply chain is not up to standard, well-known unit of the German Rhine verify that the violation of RoHS directive not only be fined, and the impact of brand image is enormous appeal to the European manufacturers to pay special attention to supply chain partners.
Said, according to the industry last year, before the RoHS road, the upstream component suppliers rather cautious response, but downstream of the assembly plant was a bit overlooked, resulting in a large liquid crystal display (LCDMonitor) plant in the assembly process, because the color is too bright to use the label stickers, small stickers tested the results of harmful substances, affecting the shipping schedule.
TÜV Rheinland Taiwan chapter manager
Kids Today pointed out that the upstream supply chain manufacturers assembly plant preparations have been relatively easy compared with the terminal.
He said, the downstream assembly plants are likely to mistake the upstream suppliers are RoHS directive through the norms, that the finished product must meet the specifications, but the fact is the process of assembly may be because of careless use of sub-standard welding material breach of adhesion instruction.
The two EU environmental directives : Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) before and after the road, WEEE implementation has been more than a year-end sales of larger companies. Zhang Kids Today, once violated RoHS directive, manufacturers will have to face tens of thousands to several million euros a fine ranging from, depending on Governments to be the attitude of environmental issues.
Kids Today chapter explained, RoHS officially implemented in July last year, although it did not spread, some manufacturers have been punished relevant units of the EU, but not because the vendors well prepared, but because the EU’s investigation unit has not yet decided verification specification.
He said, wait until the investigation unit identified under the RoHS Directive standard method of detection of related substances, supply chain, companies may start being investigated.
Kids Today Zhang said that as the violation of RoHS will involve heavy fines, the EU’s investigation units have very strict, continuous increase in the exclusion clause.
He cited, such as directives specify banned hazardous substances lead, the EU has the semiconductor or diode in the lead glass as excluded objects.
The road in the spotlight last year after RoHS, manufacturers found that the investigation unit of the European Union seem to have no positive action, may be mistaken for the production supply chain, the test have already passed EU standards. Kids Today that chapter, in fact, supply chain application vendors have tested, but the brand, the terminal assembly plant did not apply for testing of finished goods, once the access buyers in Europe or Outsourcing (OEM) vendors are eyeing the investigation unit, and finally Or then go to the supply chain manufacturers in Taiwan.
Proposed co-verification vendors should carefully choose the unit, does the latest information to the relevant laws in response to the request.
