If you are supplying goods or selling your products to the European Union, you might have known what REACH compliance is, and why should you demonstrate one? REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals) is a European regulation issued to address the production of chemicals to prevent the environment and human health from its […]

CAD files in three dimensions are essential to modern production procedures. The concept appears to be sound: an engineering team will design a part and then provide the required 3D CAD files to the manufacturer to produce the same. There is a demand for a seamless transition from the design to the production process, which […]

A layer of ink traces called a silkscreen is used to identify things like PCB pieces, warning signals, test points, logos, and marks. The silkscreen is often placed to the component side, although it is also customary to use silkscreen on the solder side. However, this can raise the price. In essence, a thorough PCB […]

Various factors lead to potential concern in the import and export of the chemicals and have been around for a longer time. The reasons for these concerns in the supply chain are due to consumer-shareholder demands, compliance regulations, policies, and liabilities. So, speaking about compliance, one of the most notable regulations that rules the entire […]

One of the most common defences under Proposition 65 is what is often called the safe harbour defense. In its simplest form the safe harbour defense says you don’t have to give a warning, if the daily exposure level in the question is lower than a level set by the state.  The state’s safe harbour […]

The Extended Minerals Reporting Template (EMRT) is used in cobalt and mica supply chains to determine the country of origin and to identify refiners and processors.  This template is developed by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). Previously RMI developed separate templates for cobalt and mica called Cobalt Reporting Template (CRT) and Mica Reporting Template (MRT) […]

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are hazardous organic chemicals with particular properties: Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic and very mobile (long‐distance travelers). It causes risks for humans and the environment such as Ecological and Health impacts. Which substances are currently POPs? POPs examples: Dichloro‐diphenyl‐trichloroethane (DDT), Polybomodiphenyl ether, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF) Three Main […]

Do you know how it all started? Circuit boards were used as a simple substrate with sufficient holes for the electrical components to lead through, which is then soldered to give a complete circuit look. Later on, with the advancement in science and technology, the soldering for networking and electrical components was replaced with conductive […]

Programmable Interface Controllers or PICs are simple but productive electronic devices used to perform multiple processing tasks. These types of circuits are either used as timers or to control the production line of the entire system. If you are into engineering or related manufacturing processes, you might have encountered these terms multiple times. Earlier, it […]

Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (ROHS) is one of the European Union’s major directives to regulate the consumption of electrical products. The European Government issued this directive in February 2003 by restricting the inclusion of a specific hazardous chemical substance in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) production. The following are the ten substances restricted by […]
