Executive Guide: RoHS and compliance
By Electronic Business Staff Report -- 7/11/2006
RoHS is reality, and there are additional regulations from other regions of the world on its heels. Are you prepared? We’ve compiled some of our most popular stories from the Reed Electronics Network on RoHS and on compliance issues in general.
The stories are categorized in several easy-to-navigate sections. So whether you are looking for stories strictly on RoHS, case studies on the subject or commentaries from your peers, this guide has what you want.
We also plan to update this Executive Guide frequently as we write stories on this important topic—undoubtedly for years to come.
