Practical application of CENELEC standard EN 50581:2012 to generate technical documentation for RoHS2

摘要

RoHS2 takes effect in EU Member States from 2 January 2013 and is a CE Marking Directive. RoHS2 requires Manufacturers to follow the procedures in Module A of Decision 768/2008/EC which prescribe the conformity assessment procedures that Manufacturers must carry out and the technical documentation they must draw up to demonstrate that their products are RoHS compliant. Many companies already have established compliance processes and quality management systems for RoHS1 compliance. For those companies whose existing procedures do not already meet RoHS2 requirements, CENELEC has produced standard EN 50581:2012 “Technical Documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances”.
