To assist companies with global environmental regulations, such as the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and China's Article 11, Underwriters Laboratories has created the UL RoHS programme.

Whether you're in the beginning stages of your compliance efforts or you need a plan for ongoing compliance, UL will work with you to tailor a programme to fit your needs from our comprehensive suite of services.

The core programme focuses on four principal services.

* Education - Gives customers an in-depth understanding of globally restricted substance requirements through public or private seminars.

* Planning - Helps customers assess the current state of their compliance strategies with development of a compliance roadmap and a product compliance assessment.

* Implementation - Helps customers execute their compliance strategies through a customised blend of product compliance investigation, gap analysis, product testing, UL RoHS product certification and management systems registration.

* Continued compliance - Provides on-going confidence customers need in their supply chains through the UL RoHS product and management systems surveillance programmes that are tailored for each customer's needs.

Complying with restricted substances regulations is quickly becoming standard procedure for manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment.

The latest RoHS White Paper from UL International.explains the importance of implementing a compliance system flexible enough to allow manufacturers to comply with current global restricted substances directives and anticipate future regulations.

A free copy of the white paper is available via the UL website, by selecting "Addressing Global Restricted Substances Regulations".
