As of January 2, 2013, all EU countries will be required to have formal legislation implementing the requirements of the RoHS Recast transposed into their national legislation. As a result of these new regulations, companies CE Mark obligations will expand to include RoHS.
The webinar will discuss these new regulatory requirements and the best practices for managing the associated obligations including:
- An outline and recap of the new obligations under the Recast of the EU RoHS Directive.
- A discussion and background concerning the regulatory obligations associated with the CE Mark and Global Harmonized System.
- A briefing concerning how to coordinate building a CE Mark Technical file to comply with customer requests and RoHS regulatory requirements.
- A demonstration of what a functional technical file should look like and how it should be used for compliance purposes.
The webinar will be presented by Travis Miller, Vice President of Regulatory Services and Graham Margetson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Foresite Compliance. Travis and Graham are recognized experts in environmental regulatory compliance business processes, and have advised many of the largest blue chip companies on how to develop sound, defensible regulatory compliance processes.

Lance Allison, CEO of Foresite, stated, "As this deadline approaches, the ability for manufacturers, distributors and retailers to identify, maintain and disclose the documentation required for technical files will be tested as customers and suppliers balance the demand for increasing transparency requirements of technical files against the need to protect product design and associated proprietary information. Consequently, the emerging requirements and requests for deconstructive analytical testing, product specifications, and material content data exchange is and will continue to escalate to support these new obligations. Foresite is the company that is best positioned to provide a complete suite of services and solutions to our customers and their affiliated suppliers throughout the world."
