MELVILLE, NY – Arrow Electronics Inc. has expanded its Component Information Services, an online toolset that provides engineering, procurement and supply chain professionals with data to research and select electronic components. The enhancements offer a richer data set for compliance with RoHS and WEEE regulations issued by the EU.

In addition to identifying RoHS and lead-free compliance status for five million parts, data elements available include expected compliance dates, manufacturing parameters and hazardous material composition data for semiconductors, electro-mechanical and passive components.

 “One of the biggest challenges for manufacturers is gathering and staying current with the necessary environmental data as requirements evolve,” said Leonie Tipton, VP, Global Supply Chain Programs. “Arrow ensures that customers get the latest data --the same data used to manage our own business worldwide--conveniently accessible in one, centralized location.”
