Arrow Electronics Reports Some Companies Prepared, Many Not, for New Environmental Regulations

"Leonie Tipton, vice president, Arrow Global Supply Chain Programs, will present the findings during a NetSeminar hosted by Electronics Supply & Manufacturing (ESM) magazine on Tuesday, October 11, at noon ET. During her presentation, "RoHS Compliance Information, End Producer Readiness, Supplier Response and Action Recommendations," Tipton will provide insight on the readiness of end equipment producers and component manufacturers to meet the compliance information requirements of RoHS, challenges in collecting environmental compliance information, and recommendations on building a RoHS compliance information model. She also will share results from two surveys conducted by Arrow and Electronics Supply & Manufacturing magazine on both end equipment producers' and component manufacturers' plans for complying with the RoHS directive and how the industry is responding to information sharing standards such as the proposed IPC-1751/2 standard."
