RoHS debate continues
By Gina Roos Green SupplyLine - Oct
10, 2006
In a recent EE Times letter to the editor titled RoHS isn't
just inconvenient; it's potentially deadly, one CEO makes it
perfectly clear that implementing RoHS is a time-consuming,
expensive and ill-conceived environmental law.
Excerpts from the letter: "The electronics industry is absorbing a
$30 billion hit as it tries to find RoHS-compliant
replacements. Engineers are working on this madness instead of new
products, so why should there be a book-to-bill ratio above 1.0?

Company Calls for U.S. Version of
RoHS
By Colleen Taylor - Electronic
News, 9/19/2006
On the heels of the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) directive, which took effect July 1, Newark InOne
is calling for a comparable law to be enacted in the United States.
Although no national RoHS-style legislation has been proposed yet in
the United States, California has enacted its own RoHS rule,
SB20/SB50, which takes effect January 1. The state's rule is not as
comprehensive as the EU's RoHS. |
Federal RoHS
Legislation Imperative as EU Law Takes Hold
By Chelsey
Drysdale - Tuesday, 19 September 2006
CHICAGO
- On the heels of the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) directive, Newark InOne has issued a warning
about the need for a comparable US law. The complete text can be
viewed at
www.newarkinone.com/fedlaw.
With no national RoHS-style legislation yet
proposed, California has enacted its own RoHS rule to take effect
January 1: SB20/SB50. State rules aimed at restricting mercury
have been enacted in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois,
Maine, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
Newark InOne is conducting a poll on this issue at
www.newarkinone.com/rohs, and will make the results
available in November.

| Beijing, China - The Chinese
Ministry of Information Industry intends to announce this month
the postponement of the new China RoHS law by six months
to January 1, 2007. However, the new legislation is likely to be
more demanding than the EU RoHS directive.
