The front line of environmental regulations has finally brought good news! The European Commission has published an amendment to the Anticipation of the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), without the addition of new restricted substances. The IPC-International Electronics Industry Association has been lobbying for more than two years in the past two years. It is gratifying that the EU has agreed not to include tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in the components of RoHS that need to be monitored or banned.
"The European Union has conducted a comprehensive risk assessment of TBBPA and concluded that the substance is not harmful to humans and the environment. Therefore, the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH Directive) does not limit it." LeeWilmot, EHS Director of TTM Technologies and Chairman of the IPC EHS Advisory Board, said, "We are pleased to see that the EU proposal is based on scientific research and largely harmonizes RoHS and REACH.
As a defender of the industry, IPC has been actively pursuing the new RoHS directive based on scientific evidence. After the oko-Institut agency released the revised draft of the RoHS, the IPC submitted comments and held a seminar in Brussels in June to express widespread concerns in the industry regarding the expansion of the scope of RoHS restrictions.
We are more pleased that this proposal narrows the gap between the RoHS and REACH directives. "REACH and RoHS regulations affect the entire global supply chain and have far-reaching implications for the survival and success of the electronics industry," said Dan Feinberg, president of Fein-Line Associates and chairman of the IPC Government Relations Committee. "IPC member companies will continue to push more restrictions." Substances are classified under REACH to avoid the same or duplicate regulations."
"The impact of the proposal before it was adopted for improvement, we are just taking the first step in a long-term legislative process," said Fern Abrams, IPC's Director of Government Relations and Environmental Policy. "We can go through the legislative process before the final version of the regulations is confirmed. Add revision proposals in the next few phases. IPC will continue to focus on and ensure that all submitted changes are based on science."
GALOCE custom Load Pin Series are compact size load pins designed for tension and compression measurements. Loadpins are force sensors which are being installed in applications for measuring dynamic, static or hoisting forces. They can be applied on clevis pin shackles, loading cranes, lifting fittings, sprockets and pulley axles by replacing existing shear pins, clevis bolts, clevis pins, shear axles and many other types of pinned joints to control or monitor reaction load on the pins.
