RoHS and WEEE legislation

Farnell InOne has issued the first of what will become regular email newsletter to its customer base on issues relating to the RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives.

Commenting, Kevin Yapp, marketing director for Europe Asia-Pacific says: "To date, there has been little in the way of a common approach to dealing with the issues that customers and suppliers face as a result of the RoHS and WEEE directives and concern grows daily that the extent of their impact has not yet been fully realised. As a distributor, Farnell InOne is ideally positioned to act as an information channel between them during this important transitional phase. We have a dedicated team that has been gathering information over the last year from suppliers and monitoring the market as the directives progress."
