All, NOTE - The NORTHEAST PRODUCT SAFETY SOCIETY has a new web address – WWW.NEPSS.NET. Please make sure you change your shortcuts and links or you will miss out on all we have to offer!
There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society / CNEC Product Safety Engineering Society meeting next week on Wednesday, February 25th, at the Holiday Inn, Boxborough MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. Steve Brody, Sr. Manager of Corporate Product EHS at Brooks Automation will present this month’s topic concerning changes in various EU and Chinese directives. If you will be in the area, please feel free to join us as advanced notice or membership in NPSS or IEEE PSES is not required. Steve has been with Brooks Automation for more than two years. Prior to Brooks Automation he was with Thermo Fisher Scientific (NESLAB Instruments) as their Manager of Compliance Engineering supporting not only the local factory in Newington, NH, but also doing contract work for other Thermo factories worldwide. His total span in the industry covers some 35 years. Steve’s presentation will cover the EU changes in the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive, WEEE and RoHS Directives. He will also cover the latest changes in the Chinese RoHS as well as the latest Joint Industrial Guide, JIG-101. These changes will impact your products in more ways than one. We have found that Environmental Compliance very often becomes the responsibility of the Product Safety, or Regulatory, or Compliance Engineering Groups so this information is relevant to NPSS and PSES Members. We look forward to having you join us. If you or anyone you know would like to give a product safety technical presentation, please contact Steve Brody by email at steven.br...@brooks.com. A technical presentation should be 45 to 60 minutes in duration and be related to product safety. Although the presentation may reference your company and it’s services, the presentation must not be simply company advertising. We would also appreciate any slides or handout materials be made available for posting on the NPSS web site. Releasing presentation materials for posting is desired but not a requirement to make a presentation. The 2009 NPSS meeting schedule is available on the NPSS website at http://www.nepss.net/calendar.html. Further information about the Northeast Product Safety Society and how to become a member is available at http://www.nepss.net.
