We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Environmental Legislation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Contract signed for munitions project from
Frazer-Nash Consultancy, which we summarised at the time by saying "Frazer-Nash is providing essential programme management to GIWS to ensure the munition is developed and delivered to specification".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Ductwork compensators are made to measure from
James Walker Townson: "Plant is upgraded to meet new low-emission environmental legislation in a challenging project based on the custom-design and installation of five ductwork compensators".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Hardide Coatings
- take a look at Coating company takes advantage of REACH
which says: "EU REACH environmental legislation on chemicals has driven many manufacturers to source alternative coating technologies to replace hard chrome".
Take a look also at the news release from Severn Glocon, Valve company makes new acquisition,
as well as Composites company receives new certification from Brookhouse Holdings,
and Ethernet company expands into south Europe from Ethernet Direct.
