Compliance

While the main legislation driving lead free continues to be the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) Directive, new regulations in California and China are adding to the imperative, while other countries and regions continue to explore the idea.

While harmonized regulations is the hope and dream of every global manufacturer, each regulation has its own nuances. Each regulatory body has its own set of regulations regarding what is covered and how to demonstrate compliance. In addition to a country by country discussion of regulations, we've provided a quick comparison chart.

IPC has designed regional and web-based seminars and workshops to bring you up to speed on all expected aspects of RoHS compliance.

We've also provided an archive of top papers and presentations from our past conferences and seminars, as well as reference books.
