Product Stewardship in a Global Company (PSX 2019 On Demand)
Electronic products are comprised of many complex articles (as defined by EU REACH) and are affected by numerous worldwide regulations, such as the European Union's regulations of REACH and RoHs. A product stewardship team is an integral part of the product development and design process in order to assure release of compliant products to the market. In this session, we will discuss the importance of integrating a product stewardship team into the business, from product development through release to the market. Focus will be on how a company can track and implement regulations such as REACH and RoHs. Case studies and real world examples will be used, such as how a product stewardship team works with development for material selection to ensure global compliance.
