Should be RoHS Compliant
Must have CE Mark
Review Supplier EMC Data if Possible
Remember that CE plus CE doesn't Equal
CE Compliance
• Number 1 EMC Compliance Issue
• LVD Safety Issue
Circuit Board Materials/Layout
• Materials Should be RoHS Compliant
• New Layouts: Must Be Retested
• Same Layout Only Solder Change: Shows
minimal effect compared to past EMC
performance
• Changes to Ground Planes-Grids: Should
Be Retested
Plating
• Cadmium Plating with Non Approved
Zinc Chromate – Hexavalent
– Should be less than 2 ohms/square
• Tin Plating Replacing Lead
– Whiskering Problems
• Shows Up in Environmental Tests-LVD
• Screws have Cadmium Plating
Metals
• Many Steel Alloys Have Hexavalent
Chromium
• Also Called Chromium Six
• Supplier Certification
– Be specific as to what type of chromium is
added
Filtering
•
•
•
•
Should be RoHS Compliant
Review Supplier EMC Data if Possible
Number 2 EMC Compliance Issue
LVD Safety Issue
Components/Materials
• Plastic- Connectors and Components
– Change in Base Material and Shielding Treatment
– Many Have Flame Retardants
• EMC Gaskets
– Many Have Flame Retardants
– Changes Could Create EMC Failures
• Board Level Components
– IC Changes Not Readily Identified
– Capacitors, Resistors, etc Seem to be OK
Enclosures
• Plastic
– Change in Base Material and Shielding Treatment
– Many Have Flame Retardants
• Metal
– Many Have Plating Issues
– Changes could Create EMC Failures
– 2 Ohm/square treatment
• Design Changes
– Slots, Apertures, Seems, Holes, Fasteners Concerns
– Mating Surfaces of Displays, Connectors,Filters
Cables/Cabling
• Lead Used In Insulation Process
• Lead Used to Make Terminations
• Connectors-Plating Issues
• Flame Retardants
Relays
• Mercury Wetted Relays
• Changed to Solid State
• Failed Immunity and Emissions
Displays
• Lead In Glass
• Lead Used to Make Attachment Between
Layers
• May Get Exemption
Other Issues
• Component Changes
• Upgrades and Expansions are Applicable
– Only if Considered for a Product On Market
• Cables and Wires Are Applicable
– Unless Fixed Installations
• Separate Battery Directive
Spare Parts
• Non Complaint Models in the Field Can
Have Non Complaint Spare Parts
• Suppliers Discontinuing Non RoHS
Compliant Components
• Retest Required on Older Models
– Spares are not the same for certain critical parts
– New Power Supplies
Peripherals
• Systems that Include Peripherals must have
RoHS Compliant Peripherals
• Suppliers Discontinuing non RoHS
Compliant Peripherals
• Retest not required on older models if
Peripheral is CE Marked to same
requirements.
Future Requirements
•
•
•
•
China Implementing RoHS in 2007
Korea Strongly Considering
California Proposition 65
Suppliers No Longer Making Non RoHS
Complaint Components/Devices
Summary
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make Sure You Are Compliant to All Directives
No Grandfather Clause
CE plus CE Doesn't Equal CE
Verify Changes Meet Established Requirements
Know Your Level of Liability and Risk
Global Requirements in the Future
Severe Reduction in Availability of Non Compliant Parts
