GreenData Manager PC software manages environmental compliance data and documentation. Collects and manages RoHS compliance status and supplier certificates, material composition substance data, MSL and peak temperature data for Pb-free manufacturing, Sn-whisker mitigation strategies, etc. Will validate compliance information against EU RoHS, China RoHS, Korea RoHS, Halogen-Free, and Norwegian PoHS; report compliance status on all parts or BoMs; provide validation on the required material composition substances for each component and aggregate the status to products or BoMs; determine if test reports or certificates need to be recollected. A 30-day free trial can be downloaded at www.greensofttech.com.
