DCA and EPTAC Seminar on Compliance with EU RoHS/WEEE Directives - 7/21: Boca Raton, FL, sponsored by NRC Electronics
NRC Electronics, DCA, and EPTAC Corporation are pleased to announce a management-level seminar on the impact of the EU Reduction of Hazardous Materials (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directives to Electronics OEMs. These directives take effect as early as August, 2005. You cannot wait until 2006 to get started. Your materials suppliers are shipping Lead-Free and RoHS-compliant products today and your competitors are preparing for the transition today.
(PRWEB) June 22, 2004 -- More than simply a "manufacturing issue", whether or not your products are fully or partially "exempt", and whether or not you ship products in to the EU, these directives will impact product development and manufacturing business processes and people, your existing relationships with the supply base, and require marshalling additional resources that will have to be addressed in your budget. This management-focused seminar will give you the insights and tools you need to start planning for how these directives will impact you and your company and for how you will meet their requirements.
