The opportunity in front of us, please stand up and take action and express their views. IPC - the International Association for the electronics industry are connected to all the member companies of technical experts and the electronics industry's other stakeholders participate in the June 18, 2008 in Brussels at a special meeting to discuss their RoHS extend the scope of the problem. Will also invite representatives of the European Commission.
In last week to its members a letter, IPC detailed statement of its Öko Institute "issued by the draft report," the view, the agency commissioned by the European Commission to the expansion of the RoHS directive restricting the material in question to study, but its research methods There biased and shortcomings.
In this report, which goes beyond the first by the European Commission set the framework, in order to restrict other substances into the RoHS directive and the establishment of new standards and categories, they are now the proposal is: should be found in the environment And the burning of the material included in the RoHS directive prohibited. Which included Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), which is more than 80 percent of printed circuit boards are used in flame retardants and comprehensive assessment of the EU in the report that it is safe. In addition to TBBPA, the agency also recommended that the ban on the use of six bromine Central dodecane (HBCDD), a variety of phthalate ester plasticizer chlorine and bromine, and all the organic compounds.
IPC to its members in a letter also disclosed that the agency staff had "limited the participation of experts in science and technology" as an excuse to refuse to participate in the IPC on the report at the seminar. The bodies within and ignore the IPC members of the technical experts of the existence and the European Commission intends to go beyond the original intent of expanding the scope of restrictions, this has aroused the concern of the entire industry: the lack of scientific basis for the contents of the report.
Although the agency refused to allow some stakeholders to attend their meetings, but the IPC show that all the scientific basis is essential, and IPC believe that this held in Brussels special session of industry experts will provide a platform for them to have the opportunity to In the European Commission to make a final decision before the display of their technology found.
In addition, IPC to support the reunification of the European REACH chemicals and regulations of the objectives of the organization opposed to the strengthening of electronic and electrical equipment concern over the legislation. The bodies of the RoHS extend the scope of the position will be entirely different from the implementation of REACH, which is the position to play the role of overall policy.
