Mentor Graphics RoHS Application Suite
July 1st, 2006 EU Deadline
With deadlines fast approaching, companies are scrambling to ensure that their products comply with the regulations being established by the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment), and the Green Laws of Japan.
How will your company react? Tackling RoHS and WEEE concerns will be particularly difficult for small- and medium-size companies who must follow the same guidelines, but don't have the same resources as the largest electronic companies.
