ATLANTA -- Companies that currently import into the EU are implicitly
declaring RoHS compliance. This was the message conveyed by Steve Andrews, head
of the eco-design and product registration unit with the UK Department of Trade
and Industry. European countries are taking self-declarations on good faith;
there is no visible mandate, according to Andrews.
Andrews and others spoke on RoHS issues last week in a
special Webcast on due diligence and environmental compliance. The presentation
focused on laws in place in the EU and pending in China.
