RoHS Directive 2002 / 95 EC Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment Lead Mercury Chromium VI 1,000 ppm PBB PBDE Cadmium 100 ppm
RoHS The directive applies to equipment as defined by a section of WEEE directive • Large and small household appliances • IT equipment • Telecommunications equipment (although infrastructure equipment is exempt in some countries) • Consumer equipment • Lighting equipment – including light bulbs • Electronic and electrical tools • Toys, leisure, and sports equipment • Medical devices (currently exempt) • Monitoring and control instruments (currently exempt) • Automatic dispensers
RoHS Deca – BDE • exempted from RoHS Directive on 15 October 2005(based on conclusios of EU 10 year environmental and human health risk assessment) • 1 April 2008 Commission Decision has been annuled (procedural errors at establishing the exemption) • no longer use from 1 July 2008
RoHS Review of RoHS EC placed an order with Öko-Institut for a study of further hazardous substances Investigations on • inventory of other substances in EEE • risk management of hazardous substances • possible substitutes • policy options for candidate substances Deadline for final report: probably end of June 2008
RoHS Öko-Institut‘s proposals candidate list: 3,000 substances • Stakeholder consultation • Candidate list shortened up to 46 substances • Stakeholder consultation
RoHS Expert Workshop on Hazardous Substances in EEE not regulated by RoHS 6 May 2008 in Brussels
RoHS Criteria for selection of high priority substances (I) • Substances of very high concern (SVHC) as defined by REACH • Carcinogenic category 1 or 2 • Mutagenic category 1 or 2 • Toxic for Reproduction category 1 or 2 (CMR) • Persistent, Bioaccumulative & Toxic (PBT) • very Persistent & very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) • Endocrine Disrupters (ED) • Substances found as contaminants in humans and biota raising concern regarding potential long-term harmful effects • Substances forming hazardous substances during the collection and treatment of EEE (e.g. during incineration)
RoHS Criteria for selection of high priority substances (II) • Substances classified as dangerous according to Annex I of Directive 67/548, but not fulfilling criteria 1 – 3 and • Substances which are already regulated by existing legislation have been documented but have not been further evaluated.
RoHS Proposed candidate substances for potential RoHS inclusion
RoHS • TBBPA • intent of proposal of TBBPA by Öko-Institute • reactive and additive TBBPA • current standard of knowledge: • Additive TBBPA part of RoHS • Reactive TBBPA part of exemption-list of RoHS • new discussion of substitution at each review process of RoHS
RoHS Lead in solders • exemptions in some applications within RoHS • positive aspects for lead in solders • low solder temperatures → lower stress for PWB • higher reliability than lead-free soldering • long term experiences • knowledge about handling • for automotive and industrial applications exemption of lead in solders should be preserved
RoHS Environmental management concerns all fields of production of AT&S AT&S can offer: • RoHS compliant PWBs • alternative surfaces to HAL: ENIG, HAL-leadfree, OSP… • halogenated as well as halogen-reduced PWBs
RoHS Conclusion • Environmental protection is one of the most important targets → substitution of substances is one of several instruments • Nevertheless following considerations have to be made • process engineering alternatives • approval of alternatives – long time experiences • know how about the handling of new substances • economic aspect
RoHS Thank you for your attention
