Geir Hørthe Jon Ivar Tidemann

• Restriction of Hazardous Substances
• European Directive (2011/65/EU)
• Requiring CE marking
• Covers majority of electrical equipment
• Temporary exemptions where technical alternatives are missing

The RoHS directive

2

• Lead
• Cadmium
• Chrome VI
• Mercury
• Bromine compounds

The substances

3

• Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB)
• Polybrominated Diphenylether (PBDE)

• Cadmium: 0.01% (100ppm)
• Others: 0.1% (1000ppm)
• Homogenous material

Limits - 0.1% of what?

4

Test everything

2 ways to comply with RoHS

EN 62321 series

System to check suppliers

EN 50581:2012

Method 1 - measurements

Safeguarding RoHS compliance through quality system

• Shall be done through risk assessment of

suppliers vs. probability of RoHS non-compliant parts

WHY!

Methode 2

9

Could have been easy- you buy from component manufacturer

10

Component/Material RoHS Documents Everything okay? Checked

Component manufacturer

Most often the case!

11

Dealer1 Dealer2 Dealer4 Dealer3 Documents for RoHS found on Internet Can I trust that I got the real component and that the documentation is correct????

Additional sourcing

Component manufacturer

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

Where do you start?

12

Need drawing photos showing relationship between product and TCF

13

You buy from: 1.Manufacturer 2.OEM manufacturer 3.Authorized Representative 4.Component vendor with good quality systems 5.Component vendor without QA system ..... ....

• XYZ. Alibaba.com,Baidu

Suppliers thrustworthiness

14

History collected Spotchecks Audits Documentation exchange Updating for changes

If not- Evaluation based on suppliers chain You have quality records on all pre-qualified suppliers

Probability of restricted material

Documents to request:

17

Part Supplier ID. Material Declaration Analytical Test reports Contractual Agreements /supplier declarations Material-Enclosure11 Du Pont Yes Component part 4478 399- 5444-3- ND YES Sub assembly-PCB 14 466-312 DOC Material declaration /analytical testing based on own analyzes or third party, audit, quality certification – etc.

Decide what documentation to request from your supplier based

• n risk category

18

• 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

Evaluation of incoming documentation

19

Evaluate each document if it meets the substance restriction

• If no, determine further action-like......
• Additional testing
• Additional information
• Change component
• Change supplier

If no?

20

We shall have a technical file for our product. Shall consist of following:

Completing our technical file

21

Description of product Technical documentation for materials, parts or sub-assemblies Relationship between product and file List of harmonized standards – in this case EN 50581:2012

Review periodically the technical file

Check if techical files is still valid Check for updates in Components, Materials Exemptions, Standards, Legislation etc Check suppliers, especially for new Check for obsolete components (establish early warning systems)

22

Collecting information Audits, other Controls, update History Continuous acceptance Yes/No Supplier evaluation process List of suppliers

Reminder - 4 new phthalates in 2019

23

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 %) Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (0,1 %) Di isobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (0,1 %)

July, 2019

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 1st, 2017. Amendment to RoHS 2 of November 15th, with scope changes and adopting to circular economy. See: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs _eee/legis_en.htm
