IEC's Quality Assessment System for Components' (IECQ) Hazardous Substance Process Management (HSPM) training courses can help ensure compliance with standards.
Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of new legislation on hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium and mercury? Need to make sure your products comply with new regulations to remain competitive? IEC's Quality Assessment System for Components' (IECQ) Hazardous Substance Process Management (HSPM) training courses can help you ensure that your products and processes will satisfy all statutory, regulatory as well as hazardous substance free (HSF) requirements.
Seminars on the new IECQ specification QC 080000 were recently organized in Singapore and Korea for the first time, particularly for Korean industry representatives.
However, if you missed these two events, it is still time to register for the upcoming HSPM2006.
Hosted by The Salot Bradley Group International, a leader in partnering with industry and regulators to move the world toward a hazardous substance free future, this event is scheduled to take place from 5 to 6 June 2006 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott in California, United States.
The event is designed to deliver a comprehensive understanding of IECQ HSPM and how it moves industry from costly product testing to process management and third-party certification.
Keynote speakers are to address the legal and financial implications of the new standard, the future of related trade regulations and how IECQ HSPM is a great tool for meeting emerging requirements in China, Europe, and the United States.
According to Stan Salot, who is the president of the Electronic Component Certification Board,* ( ECCB) , HSPM is the solution for industry and regulators who need to address issues of hazardous substances in products and processes as well as for industry, especially electronics, electrical and avionics.
He adds that these new standards should reduce substantially compliance costs with the European RoHS and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directives, too.
Generally divided into three one-day sessions, HSPM participants, which include executives, business managers, designers, quality professionals, assessors and equipment suppliers, can gain a thorough understanding of QC 080000 but also find out how to: Preserve access to global markets; Improve supply-chain management; Reduce legal liabilities; and Gain a competitive advantage.
*The HSF specification was developed by ECCB, the IECQ's US representative, and the electronic component sector of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).
It's titled Electrical and Electronics Components and Products Hazardous Substance Free Standard and Requirements, commonly referred to as EIA/ECCB-954.
