Complimentary Workshop for Electronics, Electrical and all Energy using Manufactured Products

Dear Sir/ Madam,

ELCINA - Centre for Knowledge Management (ELCINA-CKM) & Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, (SSS) Jointly announce Workshop on Capacity Building and Awareness on REACH and ErP - Regulatory Requirements for Exports to European Union.

Introduction

REACH impacts the exports of electrical and electronic components to Europe within the “substances in articles” category; wherein certain substances of very high concern (SVHC) should not be present above the threshold of 0.1%wt/wt in the articles.

ErP (Energy Related Products) regulation requires the implementation of eco-design measures while manufacturing the products in order to be compliant with the ErP regulation.

The above are complex EU regulations and compliance is already mandatory for REACH and will become mandatory for ErP in near future. In order to create more awareness pertaining to the above regulations and to build capacity of the Indian exporters in terms of awareness of their obligations and the compliance measures to be put in place, ELCINA in association with Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, SSS is planning to organize a series of capacity building & awareness workshops in four cities.

Course Content & Structure:

  • Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) - EC No 1907/2006 - All product categories of Electrical and electronics components

  • Eco design of Energy-related-Products (ErP) 2009/125/EC covers almost all electronic, electrical and energy using products such as domestic appliances and lighting products, Electrical motors, Circulation water pumps, Tertiary sector lighting (street & office), Boilers and combi-boilers (gas/oil/ electric), Water heaters, Personal computers, Imaging equipment, Air-conditioning and ventilation systems, Commercial Refrigeration, Solid fuel small combustion installation, Laundry driers, Vacuum cleaners, Complex set top boxes, Electric Pumps and Fans and more

The workshop will be structured in two parts as follows:

      1. Technical Presentation (up to lunch)
