A Systemic Approach toHazardous Substance Management

Hazardous SubstanceProcess Management

QC 080000 IECQ HSPM

Randy CanfieldCEO/Pres. SBGi Institute


The Macro Trends

Growing amounts of hazardous substances are finding their way into products and the processes that produce them

Discarded products are creating new hazards to humankind and the environment

Humans and consumers are beginning to demand environmentally-friendly products and safe disposal processes


The Macro Trends

Governments are beginning to demand by law and trade restrictions that hazardous materials be managed and reduced

A patchwork of laws and restrictions is emerging around the world and within the U.S.

Industry will need to respond to consumer and governmental demands


The Role of Standardization

Standardization of Technical Requirements

Standardization of Conformity Assessments


Standardization of Technical Requirements

IEC – International Electrotechnical Commission

TC – 111 Environmental Standardization for Electrical and Electronic Products and Systems

TC – 207 Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

JSA – Japanese Standards Association

TISI – Thai Industrial Standards Institute

ANSI – American National Standard Institute


Standardization of Conformity Assessments

In electronics, numerous conformity assessment groups have been assembled over many years IECQ - International Electrotechnical

Commission Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components

NAI – National Authorized InstitutionsSI – Supervising Inspectorate


Laws Regarding Hazardous Substances

EU RoHS

EU WEEE

California USA SB50 (WEEE)

California USA AB 48(RoHS)

China Ministry of Information Industry Order #39

Korea & Japan - pending


Time schedule for WEEE and RoHS

13 August 2005 WEEE comes into force Producers are responsible to finance recovery, reuse and recycling of WEEE Equipment entering the market is labelled with WEEE symbol

1 July 2006 RoHS comes into effect Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) must comply with Directive

1 July 2006 Japan RoHS – Amendment to include labelling (six RoHS substances) by manufacturers and importers of computers, televisions, refrigerators, washers & dryers, microwaves and air conditioners. Also, importers must meet DfE criteria required of domestic manufacturers

31 December 2006 According to WEEE Meet recovery, reuse and recycling targets Collect WEEE at least 4 kg per inhabitant per year

1 March 2007 China RoHS phase I - Labelling requirement for all electronic products sold in China

1 July 2007 Korea RoHS - 10 items (TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, laundry machines, personal computers, audio devices, cellular phones, printers, copy machines, fax

machines) 31 December 2008 According to WEEE

New mandatory targets for WEEE will be launched


Exemptions

There are exemptionsBut no company is free of impact

False reality = Reliability RiskComponent Manufacturers world wide are

producing HSF productsYou must know the Hazardous Free status

of every component that you purchase


Financial Implications

Huge fines exist for legal violations

Liability follows trail back to producer of products and parts suppliers

Financial responsibility follows product from “womb to tomb” – from design through disposal

“Be a manager, go to jail.” principle emerging (In the USA)


Catastrophic Consequences

Sony

DTI - RoHS Enforcement Guidance Document released

Greenpeace testing major manufacturers products


Environment of Testing & Audits

Industry spending millions of dollars testing incoming parts and outgoing products

Companies sending suppliers very long (costly) questionnaires

Documents requiring company officers to sign letters certifying aspects of products are creating personal liability


The IECQ HSPM Solution

IECQ HSPM – Hazardous Substance Process Management to QC 080000

An internationally agreed specification for companies to be certified by third-party assessors that their processes to manage, minimize and/or eliminate hazardous substances meet the highest standards

IECQ HSPM incorporates as applicable RoHS, WEEE, SB-50, etc and the principles of ISO


IECQ HSPM Certification

Provides systemic framework to demonstrate compliance with laws and industry standards

Indicates company’s desire to be world-class and to do the right thing!

Facilitates access to global markets

Creates a competitive advantage


Where to Start

Key executives and operations managers need to become aware of pertinent laws and IECQ HSPM

Operations managers and key employees need to know more to become “implementers”

Companies will need some employees to be educated and certified as internal assessors


What Next

Integrate QA & EH&S resources to Implement IECQ HSPM Get qualified help as needed Train internal staff

Engage 3rd party assessor to get certified

Require/Encourage/Help suppliers get IECQ HSPM certified

Be a pacesetter in moving the world toward a hazardous substance free future


The Future

IECQ HSPM provides an expandable, systemic framework for the future as:More substances are designated

“hazardous”More laws and regulations emerge globallyExemptions are reduced or eliminated

Public and governmental demands will increase for an ever “greener” world
