SMTA Mini-conference to Focus on RoHS Compliance
February 17, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
MINNEAPOLIS — The SMTA announces a new mini-conference, entitled, "Complying with RoHS: Real-World Examples of What Companies Are Doing Today." This one-day program will be held April 5, 2005, in San Jose, Calif., and May 4, 2005, in Boston, Mass., in conjunction with SMTA Boston/NEPCON East/Electro. An additional program in June 2005 will be held in Minneapolis. Harvey Stone of the Goodbye Chain Group is slated to moderate the conference, focusing on actual experiences that companies are having in solving the many difficult challenges of environmental legislative compliance.
A general session on complying with RoHS will cover topics such as legal requirements, multi-functional implications, key issues and current examples. Break-out session topics throughout the day include gathering organizational resources for RoHS-compliance; determining your post-RoHS product mix; solving the parts numbering and inventory puzzles; converting to lead-free manufacturing; collecting, aggregating and reporting substance-level data; and building a "reasonable steps" defense. The mini-conference will conclude with a review of key issues and practices.
