Technical consulting and documentation service for dismantling, materials declaration, and related product end-of-life requirements for EU WEEE, Japan Green, Korea RoHS and US EPEAT

Treatment Instructions are required under:

• Article 11 of the WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC)
• "Provision of Recycling Information" for the Act for Resource Recycling of Electric Electronic Equipment (Korea RoHS)
• Japan Green
• US EPEAT's treatment instructions
  

Many system integrators and distributors now specifically request dismantling instructions to be available for all of the products in their supply chain.  Companies need to properly create treatment documentation in order to avoid shipment barriers and fines in the EU, Korea and Japan.

Intertek’s consulting and documentation specialists create the specific documentation needed by dismantlers, recyclers, and our clients' customer base. For each product, Intertek generates a document comprising all of the necessary details, including graphics and descriptions, to meet the requirements specified in the WEEE Directive, Japan Green dismantling instructions, Korea RoHS and US EPEAT. As electronics recycling becomes a more globally-recognized requirement, the demand for this type of instruction for dismantling and materials declarations from recyclers, dismantlers, retailers and component buyers will only increase.

• Evaluation of product line to provide the most efficient path towards document creation
• Real-time document revision that runs in conjunction with product alterations and re-designs for documents that Intertek has created
• Evaluation and criteria grading of 3rd party documentation existing for sourced assemblies in a product BOM
