Join this training to gain a clear, practical understanding of RoHS requirements and emerging RoHS‑like regulations across the EU and North America
About event
This training provides a practical overview of RoHS and RoHS-like regulations across the EU, United States and Canada, helping participants understand how hazardous substance restrictions are applied across different jurisdictions. The course will examine restricted substances, evolving regulatory requirements, and the key differences between the EU’s harmonised RoHS framework and the more fragmented federal and state-level approaches found in North America.
Participants will also learn about core compliance obligations, including labelling, reporting and exemptions, as well as practical approaches for identifying and managing substance-related risks throughout the supply chain.
