cEDM Workshop 25 - 10 years of RoHS

This workshop is of interest to all involved in or responsible for the design, production, quality, test, supply and system integration of electronics in products for which reliability is an essential property.

Ten years ago, the EU directive 2002/95/EC RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) came into effect. The goal of this directive is to reduce the use of six hazardous materials in the electronics industry : Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr6+ and the flame retardants PBB and PBDE.

cEDM organizes two workshops on the theme of the impact of RoHS. During this first workshop, we will focus on legislation and on the material aspects of the RoHS story. Below you find a short overview of the presentations that will be given during the workshop.

Agenda

13h30 Doors open

14h00 Presentations :

◦ The future of RoHS, what is still coming up?

Johan Daniëls, Attaché FOD Leefmilieu, Afdeling Productbeleid

◦ Soldering Materials and chemistry : evolution in the past 10 years of RoHS and future challenges and trends. 
Steven Teliszewski, Interflux electronics

◦ Conductive adhesives as alternative for solder, or is there more? 
Speaker : to be confirmed

◦ Lead-Free soldering : a challenge for PCB base materials 
Adolf Sommer, Manager of Application Engineering : ISOLA group

17h00 Networking with a drink and a snack

During the next workshop EDM 26 (March 2017) the focus will lie on the impact that the RoHS directive has on the design of electronic products, on the electronic manufacturing processes and on the reliability and lifetime of the modules.
