Meeting Global Chemical Compliance Challenges in Electronics

Electronics and electrical (E&E) brands and manufacturers are facing growing challenges in product compliance and market access, with regulators tightening hazardous substances legislation globally and consumers driving supply chain transparency. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are still used widely for their heat, chemical, water and oil resistance, and their harmful bioaccumulative characteristics have led to legislation including EU REACH, US state-level bans and other international regulations. Non-compliance can lead to customs holds, product recalls, costly redesigns and market access delays.

This complimentary webinar explores how organizations can bridge the gap between evolving global restrictions and early-stage hardware research and development, avoiding costly re-engineering, product launch delays and severe market access disruptions. Expert presenters Giorgio Scorcelletti and Tommy Wun provide an overview of regulatory updates, including RoHS, REACH,  SVHCs, Washington State (WAC) flame retardant requirements and PFAS regulations across the EU, US and Asia.

Early-stage product development must now consider new frameworks such as Digital Product Passports (DPPs). Participants will gain practical insights into proactive product stewardship, chemical risk management and compliance strategies that can support global market access. We support these efforts through chemical compliance, testing and risk management solutions designed to help organizations identify and address potential compliance risks throughout the supply chain.
