Ämne: Rohs - Hur påverkar det L/L branschen?

[kgust]

Undrar hur väl förberedd L/L branschen är på Rohs direktivet som gäller från 1 juni i år?

För visst borde väl även värmepumpar tillhöra kategorin som avses?

Är Europa en tillräckligt stor marknad för att lägga ner arbetet som krävs.

Kan vara intressant att veta

Ganska intresant att veta vad Rohs direktivet ä förnåt med 

[kgust]

Hej Mansan

Ville inte skriva det direkt - skulle vara intressant att se vad t.ex. de som "av miljöskäl" förespråkar ackreditering för köldmedium vet om detta, då detta verkligen är ett "miljö-direktiv".

"Direktiv 2002/95/EG - RoHS och 2002/96/EG - WEEE

Genom direktiv 2002/95/EG (RoHS) förbjuds användningen av kvicksilver, kadmium, bly, sexvärt krom och flamskyddsmedlen PBB och PBDE i nya elektriska och elektroniska produkter som släpps ut på marknaden från och med 1 juli 2006"

Det som kan påverkas på vp är kretskort; skruvar motorer; plaster ?

I min vp finns det bl.a. "gula skruvar", vilket troligen är gulkromat = sexvärt krom.

Detta kanske branschen har hanterat, men man kan ju undra hur parallell-importörer hanterar detta? Importerar man maskiner från land utanför Eu, så kanske de inte uppfyller detta direktiv.

mvh Kgust

Gulkromatering innehåller inget sexvärt krom.

Och här är vad det innebär:
The ROHS directive is complementary to the WEEE directive and applies to the same categories of products defined by the WEEE directive, with the exception of Category 8 medical devices and Category 9 monitoring and control equipment. From July 2006, the following substances will effectively be banned from use in new electrical and electronic equipment :

Lead;
Mercury;
Cadmium;
Hexavalent chromium; and
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), which are used as flame retardants in plastics.
Trace elements of these substances will be allowed, up to a maximum concentration in any individual homogenous material of 0.01% by weight for cadmium, and 0.1% by weight for the other substances. The definition of homogeneous materials has caused some confusion in the past, but has been clarified in an EC decision document published on 18 August. A homogeneous material is a single substance such as a plastic, for example the PVC insulation on insulated copper wire. Components such as capacitors, transistors and semiconductor packages are not “materials” but will contain several different materials. For example, a semiconductor package will contain at least six as shown below.

Six individual homogenous materials in a semiconductor package. Figure 1.



By placing their products on the market, producers are declaring that these comply with RoHS legislation. This is the basis for “self-declaration” which is used for several other EC directives. There are no requirements for the application of a specific mark or testing by independent third parties. However, the authorities within each Member State will carry out market surveillance and conduct checks on products. If they find that a product does not comply with RoHS legislation, the producer will be asked to show that due diligence has been used and he has taken “reasonable steps” to comply. This legal defence is used for other legislation, but what constitutes “reasonable steps” has not been defined.

To demonstrate compliance, producers will have to undertake extensive and time consuming surveys of their suppliers of components and sub-assemblies. In turn, first tier suppliers will require materials information from their suppliers, and so on down the supply chain. Some component manufacturers produce materials declarations for ranges of products, for example one declaration for all types of Quad Flat Pack (QFP) packages. This is reasonable because all of these components would be manufactured from the same materials and so a declaration for one part number would be identical to one for another part in the same range.

Gulkromatering innehåller inget sexvärt krom.

Har väl en lucka i kunskapsbanken

Trodde följande:

Kromat = sexvärt krom Cr6
Passivering = trevärt krom Cr3

Vill veta lite mer, kan du förklara Falcor?
