NASHUA, NH -- National Standards Authority of Ireland is the first registrar to receive authorization to provide registration under the new EIA/ECCB-954 specification adopted by IECQ. The move permits NSAI to certify hazardous substance (lead-free) processes at electronics companies.
IECQ is the IEC’s quality assessment system for electronic components. It specifies technical requirements that manufacturers must meet to ensure that their products conform to new environmental limits.
As a result, NSAI is now able to offer a process certification solution for electronics companies to demonstrate compliance with the new environmental regulations regarding lead and other hazardous substances, NSAI said in a press release.
Credit Suisse First Boston expects electronics manufacturing services and component companies to report "mostly inline" second-quarter results.
CSFB said, "Given a slow demand environment, we continue to overweight EMS names that are 'creating their own destiny': leveraging secular margin expansion as Celestica or new business wins as Jabil Circuit and Flextronics International to drive above-average earnings growth."
The cell-phone business and increasing Nortel Networks revenue "should get Flextronics over the line in the second quarter, with the booming Multek PCB business driving an opportunity for margins to beat. Celestica and Sanmina-SCI will both likely achieve earnings consensus on margin improvements from restructuring, despite lackluster revenues," the research firm said.
SAN JOSE -- Flextronics has entered into an employment agreement with chief executive Michael Marks, who becomes chairman in January, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday.
