California takes the lead in restricting phthalates in toys and child care products

In early 2007, San Francisco proposed law amendment No. 120-06, reiterating that toys, child care and child feeding products are prohibited from containing phthalates (Phthalates); on October 14, 2007, the California Governor passed AB 1108. . Starting from January 1, 2009, this bill will restrict the manufacture and sale of certain toys and child care products to not exceed the limits of six phthalate compounds. Phthalates are chemicals used to increase the plasticity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic products and to add fragrance to cosmetics. They can be used in many products used by children, such as teethers, toys, and soft plastic books. In California, four compounds, including DEHP, DBP, BBP, and DIDP, are chemicals known to cause cancer or produce toxicity. Toy means "all products designed or intended by the manufacturer to be used by children for fun." Child care articles are "any products that help children sleep, relax, maintain hygiene, feed children, or allow children to suck, including pacifiers of various shapes and types." The six phthalate items restricted by the California AB 1108 bill are exactly the same as those stipulated in the EU Directive 2005/84/EC. The comparison is shown in the following table: Phthalates California AB 1108 Bill EU Directive 2005/84/ EC Restricted Product Limits Restricted Product Limits D

In 2008, the EU will implement the ROHS directive more strictly. Domestic manufacturers must not take it lightly.

Are you still taking chances? Perhaps you don’t know that EU countries have launched investigations into products on the market that comply with the RoHS directive. In the past, some people in the industry still believed that the RoHS directive would never be implemented. So far, the UK has launched more than 200 product investigations. In September this year, the first case of prosecution for violating the ROHS directive occurred in the UK. It is understood that Denmark is cooperating with three other Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden and Finland) to launch monitoring operations on 25 types of consumer products (IT, telecommunications, audio and toys), and the results will be released in December 2007. Belgium has also conducted on-site XRF screening of 88 electronic products on the market. The RoHS (2002/95/EC) directive aims to harmonize the laws of EU member states restricting the use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment, protect human health, and promote the recycling and processing of waste electronic and electrical equipment in an environmentally friendly manner. Require. In fact, EU countries have formed a RoHS Network to communicate with each other and share experiences regarding the implementation of the RoHS Directive. The current chairman of the RoHS Network is the British representative. Common enforcement practices in various countries include document review, customs inspection when goods enter the customs, purchase or seizure on the market, and even cross-border transfers, etc. At present, most EU countries have experience in inspecting low-concentration heavy metals in the packaging materials directive, but they have less experience with more complex electronic and electrical equipment. Therefore, the recent market product testing and survey activities are like testing the responsibilities of various countries.

The latest on U.S. state regulation of e-waste

Since this year, many states in the United States have greatly strengthened their supervision of electronic waste. Among them, Connecticut, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas have all passed similar electronic waste management regulations. Previously, eight states including Arkansas, California, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Washington State had implemented relevant regulations. In the medium term, more states will legislate to regulate e-waste. As more and more states formulate their own e-waste laws, the United States needs to formulate federal laws in this regard, or implement uniform national standards through various relevant parties. A brief summary of the electronic waste laws passed by many states in the United States is as follows: Minnesota (MINNESOTA) Starting from September 1, 2007, all new video display equipment must bear a clear and permanent manufacturer's trademark, and the manufacturer must also Participate in the annual registration program run by state government authorities, otherwise the equipment may not be sold to retailers. Starting September 1, 2008, manufacturers must submit annual reports to state authorities showing the retail sales of video equipment containing hazardous substances that exceed EU standards. Video display equipment refers to televisions and computer monitors sold to households, including laptop computers, with screens exceeding 9 inches diagonally. Connecticut (CONNECTICUT) Starting from January 1, 2008, all regulated electronic equipment must bear a clear and permanent manufacturer's trademark, and manufacturers must also participate in the annual registration program implemented by state government authorities.

Chemical label revision bill submitted for review

On June 27, 2007, the European Commission adopted a bill on regulations on the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures, aiming to align the EU system with the United Nations Global Harmonized System. If the bill is passed, the current individual labeling requirements for products imported into the EU will be lifted, which should benefit Hong Kong and mainland Chinese manufacturers. In addition, the Ordinance Bill is also complementary to the new Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals Regulations ("REACH"). The current EU chemical classification and labeling system is set out in the following three important directives, which provide a high degree of protection in terms of health, safety, environment and consumers: • Hazardous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC); • Hazardous Preparations Directive ( 1999/45/EC); • Safety Data Sheet Directive (91/155/EEC – from 1 June 2007, this directive has been replaced by the REACH regulation). The first two directives above set out the requirements for classification, packaging and labeling of hazardous substances and preparations, while the third directive ensures that suppliers of substances and preparations provide professional customers with information on the hazards and safe use of chemicals. The goals of the regulations include: 1) unifying the classification, labeling and packaging rules for substances and mixtures; 2) requiring companies to classify the substances and mixtures they manufacture on their own and notify relevant authorities; 3) developing a unified list of substances; 4) A label catalog is provided. The following is an example of labeling changes for extremely flammable chemicals: For most chemicals, the proposed regime would be similar to the current regime

The UK will implement WEEE from July 1st

The UK finally began to implement the WEEE regulations on July 1, 2007, to reduce the impact of waste electronic products on the environment through reuse and recycling, instead of discarding them in already overcrowded landfills. Technically speaking, end users are now not allowed to throw waste electronic products directly into the trash can; if they do not reuse and recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) properly, they will theoretically have You may face the consequences of being discovered and punished by the Environmental Agency. Once notified of the need for disposal, product suppliers are responsible for the collection and recycling of WEEE. For small companies, the cost of registering directly with the government is very high, and the time spent on paperwork and the effort required are also a lot. Currently, more than 37 companies have been established to help reduce these costs. The WEEE Directive was recognized together with the RoHS Directive in February 2003, with the common goal of reducing the amount of waste in the environment. With the existence of consumer product specifications, there has been confusion about how some commercial goods should be managed. So the trade association (including the UK's Laboratory Technology Industry Trade) led the establishment of a non-profit organization called b2bcompliance. According to David Burton (b2bcompliance's planning director), this organization has been established to protect the interests of their members and provide a complete customer service from registration to processing, and provide certification of legal compliance. Although registered

EU environmental policy is far ahead of the US

When it comes to environmental policy, there is no doubt that the EU has achieved much more than the United States, but of course, EU member states are not required to deal with governance and currently only grudgingly acknowledge the possibility of global warming, recycling needs or other countries level of environmental policy. The Environmental Policy Review (EPR) implemented by the EU every year not only highlights the main developments in environmental policies of member states in the past year, but also provides methods to monitor the goals of each environmental policy, including the recent 2007 Research, environmental trends and major controversies. In 2006, the EU took a big step in dealing with climate change through the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, and also updated the EU Sustainable Development Strategy; since December 2006 With the new REACH act adopted, it is estimated that 30,000 chemical substances need to be registered. The EU hopes to gradually eliminate these dangerous chemicals and replace them with safer ones in the future. In addition, the EU's European Energy Strategy is expected to reduce energy consumption in 20% in 2020. The Commission also proposed a new energy policy in advance in 2007 that combines energy and climate change issues to enable various countries to Member states can achieve this by 2020

South Korea RoHS will be officially implemented on January 1, 2008

South Korea's RoHS will be officially implemented on January 1, 2008. On April 2, 2007, the South Korean National Assembly officially passed the "Resource Recycling Act for Electronic and Electrical Equipment and Vehicles" (The Act for Resource Recycling of Electrical/Electronic Products and Automobiles). The regulatory requirements are like a series of EU specifications, including the RoHS, WEEE and ELV directives. This law is expected to be officially implemented on January 1, 2008. Although South Korea’s RoHS is a resource recycling regulation for electronic and electrical equipment and automobiles, and includes elements of EU directives, it is also unique, according to Michael Kirschner of Design Chain Associates, an industrial design chain consultancy. Just like EU RoHS and China RoHS, South Korea RoHS has not yet specified the details of the regulations. Therefore, the preliminary classification of electronic and electrical equipment and vehicles will first be based on South Korea's "Act on the Promotion of Conservation and Resource Recycling". Saving and Recycling of Resources), as for the types of hazardous substances, concentration limits and environmental requirements design, etc., they will be further formulated and announced by the Korean Environmental Protection Agency. Specific project descriptions will be announced in the next phase.

How the European industry views RoHS regulations

How does the European industry view the RoHS regulations? It has been nine months since the EU's six Restrictions of Hazardous Substances directive came into effect on July 1, 2006. However, what is the current development progress of EU RoHS? What are those? Companies encounter trouble in implementation and how to deal with it? In response to the above issues, the European Commission has adopted a reserved attitude towards the implementation status in the past few months. A spokesman for the Commission said, "Broadly speaking, because there are many corporate stakeholders from different fields and regions, many people hope that the implementation of the RoHS Directive will be smoother and easier to comply with; but they will eventually understand the importance of changing the requirements And try to cooperate, a new law will be widely accepted and recognized. "An important signal also shows that many of our major trading partners are already adopting regulations like RoHS, so regardless of How, in the upcoming inspection, we will provide more insight into the perspective of corporate stakeholders and eliminate any unnecessary administrative burden or related costs. "However, it is worth discussing that European companies are in the process of implementing RoHS. What is shown is not the comfort that the European Commission thought. Markus Terho, Manager of Environmental Affairs at Nokia, said, "Supporting the European Commission's changes to laws and regulations is a heavy responsibility and exceeds your expectations. The achievements of technological innovation continue to move forward, but regulations require

The RoHS (2002/95/EC) directive aims to harmonize the laws of EU member states restricting the use of hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment, protect human health, and promote the recycling and processing of waste electronic and electrical equipment in an environmentally friendly manner. Require. In fact, EU countries have formed a RoHS Network to communicate with each other and share experiences regarding the implementation of the RoHS Directive. The current chairman of the RoHS Network is the British representative. Common enforcement practices in various countries include document review, customs inspection when goods enter the customs, purchase or seizure on the market, and even cross-border transfers, etc. At present, most EU countries have experience in inspecting low-concentration heavy metals in the packaging materials directive, but they have less experience with more complex electronic and electrical equipment. Therefore, the recent market product testing and survey activities are like testing the responsibilities of various countries.

The latest on U.S. state regulation of e-waste

2007-10-21

Since this year, many states in the United States have greatly strengthened their supervision of electronic waste. Among them, Connecticut, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas have all passed similar electronic waste management regulations. Previously, eight states including Arkansas, California, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Washington State had implemented relevant regulations. In the medium term, more states will legislate to regulate e-waste. As more and more states formulate their own e-waste laws, the United States needs to formulate federal laws in this regard, or implement uniform national standards through various relevant parties. A brief summary of the electronic waste laws passed by many states in the United States is as follows: Minnesota (MINNESOTA) Starting from September 1, 2007, all new video display equipment must bear a clear and permanent manufacturer's trademark, and the manufacturer must also Participate in the annual registration program run by state government authorities, otherwise the equipment may not be sold to retailers. Starting September 1, 2008, manufacturers must submit annual reports to state authorities showing the retail sales of video equipment containing hazardous substances that exceed EU standards. Video display equipment refers to televisions and computer monitors sold to households, including laptop computers, with screens exceeding 9 inches diagonally. Connecticut (CONNECTICUT) Starting from January 1, 2008, all regulated electronic equipment must bear a clear and permanent manufacturer's trademark, and manufacturers must also participate in the annual registration program implemented by state government authorities.

Chemical label revision bill submitted for review

2007-09-27

On June 27, 2007, the European Commission adopted a bill on regulations on the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures, aiming to align the EU system with the United Nations Global Harmonized System. If the bill is passed, the current individual labeling requirements for products imported into the EU will be lifted, which should benefit Hong Kong and mainland Chinese manufacturers. In addition, the Ordinance Bill is also complementary to the new Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals Regulations ("REACH"). The current EU chemical classification and labeling system is set out in the following three important directives, which provide a high degree of protection in terms of health, safety, environment and consumers: • Hazardous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC); • Hazardous Preparations Directive ( 1999/45/EC); • Safety Data Sheet Directive (91/155/EEC – from 1 June 2007, this directive has been replaced by the REACH regulation). The first two directives above set out the requirements for classification, packaging and labeling of hazardous substances and preparations, while the third directive ensures that suppliers of substances and preparations provide professional customers with information on the hazards and safe use of chemicals. The goals of the regulations include: 1) unifying the classification, labeling and packaging rules for substances and mixtures; 2) requiring companies to classify the substances and mixtures they manufacture on their own and notify relevant authorities; 3) developing a unified list of substances; 4) A label catalog is provided. The following is an example of labeling changes for extremely flammable chemicals: For most chemicals, the proposed regime would be similar to the current regime

The UK will implement WEEE from July 1st

2007-09-27

The UK finally began to implement the WEEE regulations on July 1, 2007, to reduce the impact of waste electronic products on the environment through reuse and recycling, instead of discarding them in already overcrowded landfills. Technically speaking, end users are now not allowed to throw waste electronic products directly into the trash can; if they do not reuse and recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) properly, they will theoretically have You may face the consequences of being discovered and punished by the Environmental Agency. Once notified of the need for disposal, product suppliers are responsible for the collection and recycling of WEEE. For small companies, the cost of registering directly with the government is very high, and the time spent on paperwork and the effort required are also a lot. Currently, more than 37 companies have been established to help reduce these costs. The WEEE Directive was recognized together with the RoHS Directive in February 2003, with the common goal of reducing the amount of waste in the environment. With the existence of consumer product specifications, there has been confusion about how some commercial goods should be managed. So the trade association (including the UK's Laboratory Technology Industry Trade) led the establishment of a non-profit organization called b2bcompliance. According to David Burton (b2bcompliance's planning director), this organization has been established to protect the interests of their members and provide a complete customer service from registration to processing, and provide certification of legal compliance. Although registered

2007-09-27

EU Directive 91/338/EEC requires that the cadmium content in finished products or parts in plastic materials, liquid coatings (whether water-based or oil-based), and polymer stabilizers must not exceed 0.01% (100 ppm); cadmium plating is prohibited for certain equipment. The directive also states that if the coating contains a high amount of zinc, the cadmium content must not exceed 0.1% (1000 ppm). Specific equipment where cadmium electroplating is completely prohibited: Machinery and equipment • Food production machinery • Agricultural equipment • Cooling and freezing machines • Printing and book-binding equipment Machinery and equipment used to produce the following products • Household goods • Furniture • Sanitary ware • Central heating and air conditioning plants • Paper and board • Textiles and clothing • Industrial

EU environmental policy is far ahead of the US

2007-06-06

When it comes to environmental policy, there is no doubt that the EU has achieved much more than the United States, but of course, EU member states are not required to deal with governance and currently only grudgingly acknowledge the possibility of global warming, recycling needs or other countries level of environmental policy. The Environmental Policy Review (EPR) implemented by the EU every year not only highlights the main developments in environmental policies of member states in the past year, but also provides methods to monitor the goals of each environmental policy, including the recent 2007 Research, environmental trends and major controversies. In 2006, the EU took a big step in dealing with climate change through the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, and also updated the EU Sustainable Development Strategy; since December 2006 With the new REACH act adopted, it is estimated that 30,000 chemical substances need to be registered. The EU hopes to gradually eliminate these dangerous chemicals and replace them with safer ones in the future. In addition, the EU's European Energy Strategy is expected to reduce energy consumption in 20% in 2020. The Commission also proposed a new energy policy in advance in 2007 that combines energy and climate change issues to enable various countries to Member states can achieve this by 2020

South Korea RoHS will be officially implemented on January 1, 2008

2007-05-15

South Korea's RoHS will be officially implemented on January 1, 2008. On April 2, 2007, the South Korean National Assembly officially passed the "Resource Recycling Act for Electronic and Electrical Equipment and Vehicles" (The Act for Resource Recycling of Electrical/Electronic Products and Automobiles). The regulatory requirements are like a series of EU specifications, including the RoHS, WEEE and ELV directives. This law is expected to be officially implemented on January 1, 2008. Although South Korea’s RoHS is a resource recycling regulation for electronic and electrical equipment and automobiles, and includes elements of EU directives, it is also unique, according to Michael Kirschner of Design Chain Associates, an industrial design chain consultancy. Just like EU RoHS and China RoHS, South Korea RoHS has not yet specified the details of the regulations. Therefore, the preliminary classification of electronic and electrical equipment and vehicles will first be based on South Korea's "Act on the Promotion of Conservation and Resource Recycling". Saving and Recycling of Resources), as for the types of hazardous substances, concentration limits and environmental requirements design, etc., they will be further formulated and announced by the Korean Environmental Protection Agency. Specific project descriptions will be announced in the next phase.

How the European industry views RoHS regulations

2007-04-27

How does the European industry view the RoHS regulations? It has been nine months since the EU's six Restrictions of Hazardous Substances directive came into effect on July 1, 2006. However, what is the current development progress of EU RoHS? What are those? Companies encounter trouble in implementation and how to deal with it? In response to the above issues, the European Commission has adopted a reserved attitude towards the implementation status in the past few months. A spokesman for the Commission said, "Broadly speaking, because there are many corporate stakeholders from different fields and regions, many people hope that the implementation of the RoHS Directive will be smoother and easier to comply with; but they will eventually understand the importance of changing the requirements And try to cooperate, a new law will be widely accepted and recognized. "An important signal also shows that many of our major trading partners are already adopting regulations like RoHS, so regardless of How, in the upcoming inspection, we will provide more insight into the perspective of corporate stakeholders and eliminate any unnecessary administrative burden or related costs. "However, it is worth discussing that European companies are in the process of implementing RoHS. What is shown is not the comfort that the European Commission thought. Markus Terho, Manager of Environmental Affairs at Nokia, said, "Supporting the European Commission's changes to laws and regulations is a heavy responsibility and exceeds your expectations. The achievements of technological innovation continue to move forward, but regulations require
