RoHS Geir Hørthe Jon Ivar Tidemann 2017-12-13 1
The RoHS directive • Restriction of Hazardous Substances • European Directive (2011/65/EU) • Requiring CE marking • Covers majority of electrical equipment • Temporary exemptions where technical alternatives are missing 2
The substances • Lead • Cadmium • Chrome VI • Mercury • Bromine compounds • Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) • Polybrominated Diphenylether (PBDE) 3
Limits - 0.1% of what? • Cadmium: 0.01% (100ppm) • Others: 0.1% (1000ppm) • Homogenous material 4
2 ways to comply with RoHS System to Test everything check suppliers EN 62321 series EN 50581:2012
Method 1 - measurements youtube: Nemko RoHS 6
Method 1 – Test report Sample Unit Cd Cr Pb Br Hg Result 1 Metal core % ND 0.07 0.02 ND ND Pass 2 Metal surface 1 % ND 0.07 0.15 ND ND Fail 3 Metal surface 2 % ND 0.15 0.06 ND ND Inconclusive 4 Insulation wire - red % ND ND ND 0.05 ND Inconclusive 0.05 ND = Not Detected 7
Method 2 Quality Assurance standard EN 50581:2012 Jon Ivar Tidemann 2017/12/13 v1.0 8
Methode 2 Safeguarding RoHS compliance through quality system -Shall be done through risk assessment of suppliers vs. probability of RoHS non-compliant parts WHY! 9
Could have been easy- you buy from component manufacturer Everything okay? Checked Component/Material Component manufacturer RoHS Documents 10
Most often the case! Can I trust that I got the Additional sourcing real component and that the documentation is correct???? Dealer3 Dealer1 Component manufacturer Dealer4 Dealer2 Documents for RoHS found on Internet 11
Where do you start? In the same way as for method 1- Your product and the Bill of Material-BOM list • What shall the BOM contain: • List of components and parts-with relevant data • Identification of the part • Your identification of the part • The suppliers identification • The manufacturers identification • Cross reference between the product / component / material and your compliance file 12
Need drawing photos showing relationship between product and TCF 13
Suppliers thrustworthiness If not- Evaluation based on suppliers chain You have quality records on all pre-qualified suppliers You buy from: 1.Manufacturer History 2.OEM manufacturer collected 3.Authorized Representative 4.Component vendor with good quality systems Updating for Spotchecks changes 5.Component vendor without QA system ..... .... XYZ. Alibaba.com,Baidu Documentation Audits exchange 14

After BOM – The Supplier list and Risk assessment 2 2 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 16
Documents to request: Part Supplier Material Analytical Test Contractual ID. Declaration reports Agreements /supplier declarations Material-Enclosure11 Du Pont Yes Component part 399- YES 4478 5444-3- ND Sub assembly-PCB 14 466-312 DOC Material declaration /analytical testing based on own analyzes or third party, audit, quality certification – etc. 17
Decide what documentation to request from your supplier based on risk category 18
Evaluation of incoming documentation • Are international accepted standards used, like EN 62321-series,(IEC 62321-xx)? • Are exemptions used, and are they valid- when expire-note in TCF? • Are data considered to be of sufficient quality or trustworthiness? • Missing documents? If everything found satisfactory-into Technical File 19
If no? Evaluate each document if it meets the substance restriction • If no, determine further action-like...... • Additional testing • Additional information • Change component • Change supplier 20
Completing our technical file We shall have a technical file for our product. Shall consist of following: Technical List of harmonized documentation for Relationship between standards – in this Description of materials, parts or product and file case product sub-assemblies EN 50581:2012 21
Review periodically the technical file Check if techical files is still valid List of Collecting Check for updates in Components, Materials suppliers information Exemptions, Standards, Legislation etc Check suppliers, especially for new Check for obsolete components (establish early warning systems) Audits, other Supplier Controls, evaluation update process History Continuous acceptance Yes/No 22
Reminder - 4 new phthalates in 2019 Lead (0,1 %) Mercury (0,1 %) Cadmium (0,01 %) Hexavalent chromium (0,1 %) Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) (0,1 %) Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) (0,1 %) Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (0,1 %) Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) (0,1 %) July, 2019 Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (0,1 %) Di isobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (0,1 %) 23
What is new Ukraine has implemented EU RoHS and require full TCF-technical file. UAE- In process of implementing Final review of last batch of exemption applications for Annex III with commenting deadline December 1 st , 2017. Amendment to RoHS 2 of November 15 th , with scope changes and adopting to circular economy. See: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs _eee/legis_en.htm 24
