Shimadzu Scientific Publishes White Paper Outlining RoHS Compliance Requirements

"Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. (SSI), one of the leading developers of analytical instrumentation in the U.S., today announced the availability of its new free white paper 'Understanding RoHS.' The paper is available for download from the Shimadzu Scientific Instruments web site at www.ssi.shimadzu.com. The paper offers guidance and tips for the many organizations that have yet to properly comply with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations, which are scheduled to take effect in July of this year. RoHS regulates the concentration levels of substances considered hazardous in electrical and electronic equipment. The white paper also provides insight into how RoHS will affect U.S. manufacturers, how they can earn compliance, and the ramifications of non-compliance." Source: busineswire.com
