Combination of data base systems and material assay testing: Answer increasingly complex material related questions with confidence

Abstract

Growing number and complexity of material related regulatory regulations compel electronics manufacturers to rethink product compliance. Can your company state with confidence they can identify every substance in the final product, and from where each part was sourced, by all direct and indirect suppliers? The partly long supply chain is a challenge considering the short time and limited resources for product development in the electronic industry. When placing a product on the market product related (RoHS) and material related (REACH) questions have to be answered. In order to be able to answer these questions it is important to have the answers readily at hand.
