Restricted Substance Controls (RSC) define the actions and mechanisms you can take to prevent restricted substances from inclusion in your products. To ensure RSC are effective, the procedures should be integrated into an overall Conformity Assurance System (CAS).
- EU Enforcement authorities and OEM customers are requesting documentation of producers RoHS compliance procedures to demonstrate that appropriate systems are in place to ensure on-going compliance.
- EU RoHS2 requires conformity assessment for manufacturers of EEE products.>
- China RoHS will have voluntary certification, including the submission of compliance documentation.
