Directives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of equipment have become numerous and affect products of the high tech industry. Manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment have to comply not only with WEEE or RoHS, but also with REACH. Worldwide adaptations to these regulations such like China RoHS or US requirements poses further difficulties for the exporters.

During the Cobham Technical Services conference, “Electrical and Electronic Equipment and the Environment 2009”, major issues about current additions to the regulations concerning electrical and electronic products will be discussed.

The conference will set its focus among others, on:

Progress on the implementation of REACH

Substance restrictions and the interaction between REACH and the RoHS Directive

REACH in the aviation industry - how to comply, acquiring and managing declaration data in the supply chain and obsolescence

RoHS and Batteries

REACH in Asia

Expert speakers from product manufacturers and distributors, legal offices, trade associations will present the latest news on regulatory developments from Europe, the UK, USA and the Far East. Case studies from industry leaders will demonstrate how they have met and overcome the legal challenges. TechniData AG will sponsor the conference cocktail party.

The conference takes place at the Sheraton Skyline Hotel in Heathrow/London (UK) on November 17-18, 2009.

We look forward to discussing these topics with you!
