The Challenge
On May 14, 2009, H.R. 2420, the Environmental Design of Electrical Equipment Act (EDEE) Act, was introduced as a Bill in the US House of Representatives. The EDEE Act states that no electro-industry product shall be manufactured or imported after July 1, 2010 unless they meet concentration levels for 6 substances. These standards equal the maximum concentrations established under the European Union’s RoHS Directive.
This new law may provoke significant questions and present potential pitfalls to manufacturers, importers private labelers, distributors and retailers of consumer products.
