Key dates for WEEE and RoHS have passed. Can you defend your product?

When you put an electronic product on the European Union market you are making a compliance statement. Can you prove that your product is RoHS compliant and have met your WEEE obligations? Are your products covered by exemptions, or not in scope for WEEE/RoHS? The regulatory and competitive forces impacting the electronics industry are complex and continually evolving. Competition is keen and your competitor may be the one who will tip off your customer or the authorities that your product is not compliant. The compliance impact will extend into the supply chain now that the start date (July 1, 2006) has passed for RoHS. Unprepared suppliers risk losing market share.
