Intertek (www.intertek.com), the leading provider of quality and safety solutions will present a free one-hour online webinar on Wednesday, February 18th 2009 at 1:00 pm EST providing a review of the proposed revisions to the RoHS and WEEE Directives.
Electronics being sold into the EU fall under a range of environmental legislations, including RoHS and WEEE Directives. In early December 2008, the European Commission has taken the legislative step of proposing revised RoHS and WEEE Directives to the European Parliament. This webinar will highlight the key topics in these two proposed laws and how they will affect the electronics industry if adopted.
What you do or do not have to do to sell your electronics in the European Union depends on your product and your method of sales.
