WASHINGTON, DC – China is gearing up for a January implementation of its version of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, according to a posting last month by a federal agency employee on the leadfree.org listserv. At an August workshop at the Department of Commerce, Chinese officials announced that China’s version of RoHS will go into effect January 2006, said Dr. John Sieber. Test methods and approved laboratories were cited, said Sieber, a research chemist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (nist.gov). Sieber suggested interested parties visit the Notify US Website run by NIST at http://tsapps.nist.gov/notifyus/data/about/about.cfm for more information.
