Herndon, Va. — The National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (NEMI) is sponsoring a summit meeting October 18 through 20 to discuss the status of RoHS/WEEE implementation.
The meeting is co-sponsored by AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association), the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries, and will be held at StorageTek in Louisville, Colo. (near Denver).This summit brings together industry experts from the U.S. and Europe to provide a broad overview of the current status of, and key issues related to, implementation of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directives. It will also provide a forum for sharing best practices from successful company programs, and help identify gaps that industry must still address as legislative deadlines approach. Topics planned for discussion at the summit include:
- Regulatory environment — European directives as well as other pending and emerging legislation.
