Study: RoHS Cost 2-3% of COGS

"Meeting RoHS requirements requires a one-time investment of 2% to 3% of cost of goods sold, a top research firm said today. The firm released its findings to counter what it called "false information and speculation" about the cost of compliance. In a press release, Pamela Gordon, president of Technology Forecasters, said, "We are hearing statistics from some mistaken consultants that name-brand electronics companies need to spend 10% of their R&D budgets to comply to RoHS."" Source: circuitsassembly.com
