Smaller Enterprises Lag in RoHS Compliance

"According to analysts at Boston-based AMR Research Inc., small- to medium-size enterprises (SMEs) have not been able to keep up in the shift to environmental compliance. With less little more than nine months left until the RoHS deadline of July 1, 2006, lagging companies present much of the electronics industry with a real problem. “Large companies are really attacking compliance,” says Eric Karofsky, senior research analyst at AMR Research. “They may not be 100 percent compliant, but they have an articulate strategy, they understand the risk, and they’re comfortable with their position. But the SMEs are having problems." Source: designnews.com
