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 […]

When the functioning of an electronic device is affected by unwanted electromagnetic energy, it is said to be an interference. Radio Frequency Interference shows itself as a loss of data, performance degradation, or damage. So, the RF source and receiver are isolated if affected by interference. Even after the separation, interference may persist, affecting the […]

The single-most challenge engineers face in designing electronic circuits is thermal management. Multiple components within the circuit release heat while they run. If that heat is not dissipated correctly, it will damage the component. It affects the active life of the device and leads to product failure. Therefore, this is one of the essential factors […]
