IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society
Santa Clara Valley Chapter
I'm concerned - are you? Find out about Substances of Very High Concern under
Europe's REACH Regulation
Meeting Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Dinner: 5:45 – 7:00 p.m. Socialize with your colleagues and tonight's

Program: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. No admission charge. Open to the public.
Topic: Why be concerned with Substances of Very High Concern?
This presentation will provide an overview of the regulations and address
the impact to article users and producers. The European Chemicals Agency
published the first set of material restrictions on October 28, 2008. These
new restrictions have triggered requirements for fifteen substances identified
as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC's).
A practical approach will be taken to review, understand and address the new
regulations. Various questions will be answered, including: Where do you find
SVHC's in electronic equipment? What are the obligations for article producers
selling to the EU? How is industry addressing these new requirements?
