PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACYPUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACYEnvironmental, Health & Safety

The IPC EHS program advocates the promotion of cleaner, safer manufacturing worldwide through:

– Information exchange– Assisting the PCB/EMS industry in regulatory

compliance– Promoting the development of workable,

consistent and competitive legislation and regulations

WHY WE ARE MEETING TODAY

• IPC is concerned that the report, prepared by the Öko-Institut, does not consider all available information on the use of hazardous substances in electronic equipment.  

• A Technical Workshop on the proposed substances

We want to make this meeting a technical discussion
