Overview – RoHS Basics
• EU Directive 2002/95/EC was issued in Jan 2003 & has been effective since July 1, 2006.
• The recast RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU entered into force on 28 June 2011, draws its scope from the categories laid out in Annex 1 of the Directive.
• Complementary and implemented in parallel to the WEEE Directive.
• Addresses chemical management in EEE by phasing out use of certain hazardous substances

Overview – RoHS Basics
RoHS Directive Requirements
From 1 July 2006, EEE placed on the market shall not contain RestrictedHazardous Substances:
• Heavy metals:– Lead (Pb) – Cadmium (Cd)– Mercury (Hg), – Chromium (VI) (Cr6+)
• Certain brominated flame retardants:– Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB’s)– Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE’s)

Supply chain management challenges:
• How capable is your 1st tier supplier relative to WEEE/RoHS compliance?
• How capable is your 1st tier supplier in implementing RoHS compliance by cascading the requirements further down to 2nd and 3rd tier component and raw material suppliers?
• Does your 1st tier supplier have capability to control material compliance to RoHS, e.g. internal testing capability?

RoHS Compliance Solution
Risk identification / Risk management:
Objective:Practicing control to reduce the chance of RoHS non-compliance
Two main sources for risk:• Material risk
- Components in BOM- Materials used in manufacturing process
• Supplier risk- Mass production variation- Batch compliance to specifications
TÜV SÜD South Asia Slide 613-02-15 RoHS Compliance
RoHS – Risk Assessment
High risk materials:
• Restricted substance being intentionally added for achieving an expected function.
• Known high level of impurities.
• Recycled materials.
• Significant compliance failure statistics.
• Traceability being unable to be established.

BOM analysis:
• BOM analysis is risk assessment performed by technical professionals.
• All components are reviewed and classified into High-risk, Low-risk and Uncertain 3 levels.
• High-risk components will be fully tested.• Low-risk components will be sample tested.• Uncertain items will require more information for classification. • The overall objective is to reduce the testing cost for the client,
can be as much as 60%.

BOM analysis
To develop a compliance plan, information needed includes:
• Complete bill of materials & suppliers• Complete process treatment additives• Classification of component risk level• Compliance qualification & supports• Compliance traceability

Complete bill of materials & suppliers
• Purchased components– Electrical, mechanical, sub-assembly– Designated part number
• Suppliers– Single versus multiple sources
• In-house manufactured parts– Designated part number

Compliance qualification & supports
Compliance evidence may include:
• Certificate of compliance
• Test report incl. test methods
• Material declaration– Substance CAS #– Component construction– Manufacturing process
• Factory audit report

Material ‘Compliance Traceability Tree’
• 1st tier supplier : contract supplier– Compliance evidence for all materials and components as
covered by BOM of EEE.– Process validation: e.g. “lead-free” manufacturing, plating,
plastic molding etc.
• 2nd tier supplier : material & component supplier– Compliance evidence for all materials and sub-components as
covered by BOM of component.
• 3rd tier supplier : raw materials– Compliance evidence for all raw materials.

Control of Procurement
•Design a green procurement system:-Selection of suppliers, subcontractors & laboratories-Evaluation criteria
• Approval vendor list:- Material suppliers- Manufacturers- Assembler- Service providers including laboratory
• Approved product list:- BOM of each product (components, materials)
• A list of banned hazardous substanceTÜV SÜD South Asia Slide 1913-02-15 RoHS Compliance
RoHS – Strategies for Compliance
Control of Process
• Manufacturing, assembling:- Control & segregation of RoHS compliant materials & processes
• Equipment maintenance, upgrading:- Conforming repair processes- Upgrade existing equipment & or phase in lead-free production
• Process change:- Use of new equipment / repaired equipment- Use of new chemicals e.g. cooling liquid, antifreeze, solder, flame retardant, cleaning agent, degreaser, etc.
TÜV SÜD South Asia Slide 2013-02-15 RoHS Compliance
RoHS – Strategies for Compliance
Control of product development & change
• Product review : identify any banned hazardous substances- Existing: a replacement program will be required- New : materials, components, packaging, marking, etc. assessment
• Product / design change : review & approval

RoHS – Strategies for Compliance
Control of raw materials, components, semi-finished & finished products
• All the raw materials, components, semi-finished & finished products must be :
- identified & traceable- inspected & tested- marked inspection & test status
• All non-conforming products must be controlled including marking, segregation, etc. Corrective & preventive actions must be documented.
• All raw materials, components, semi-finished & finished products must be properly handled, stored, packed, preserved & delivered.

India's ROHS…India has enacted the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011. The Rules 2011 cover both the restriction of hazardous materials in electronic and electrical equipment, and also impose responsibility on producers, collection centers, consumers or bulk consumers, dismantlers, and recyclers. Very similar to the European Union’s RoHS directive; restricts the same six substances at the same maximum concentrations as in the EU but the scope of products is different.
WEEE related provisions have entered into force on 1 May 2012, and RoHS related provisions will enter into force on 12 May 2013.
Two year transition period.
