Newark InOne Offers Free RoHS Bill of Materials Update Service

"Newark InOne, a subsidiary of global distributor Premier Farnell plc, and North America's leading small-quantity distributor of electronic components, test equipment, and solutions to enable compliance with the European Union's Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, announced its launch of a free Bill of Materials (BOM) Update Service to help components buyers comply with this legislation. A simple process, bills of materials for any number of lines can be submitted using the BOM Upload feature on the home page at http://www.newarkinone.com/bom or by contacting 1.800.4.NEWARK. An Excel spreadsheet or the sample template may be used. It is critical that either the manufacturer or Newark InOne part number be included for each part. Upon receipt, a member of the Newark InOne 'Green Team' reviews and qualifies the BOM for service, and determines an update schedule with the customer. Updates are important, as new RoHS compliant parts are continually being added in the marketplace as the legislation's July 1, 2006 deadline approaches." Source: prnewswire.com
