REACH
• REACH = Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of CHemicals• European Community regulation on chemicals and their safe use
(EC 1907/2006)• Improve the protection of human health and environment through the better
and earlier identification of intrinsic properties of chemical substances (e.g., carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic, bio-accumulative substances)
• Consolidates the EU chemicals laws in one legislation• Shift of responsibility and costs to the private sector
• Register chemicals properties and safe handling information intocentral database managed by European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
• Identify suitable alternatives (substitutions) for dangerous chemicals
• Under REACH, certain Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)will be subject to authorization, which could eventually result in theirrestriction. Most substances will be subject to registration only.
• Until this authorization happens there is an SVHC candidate list.• Even though a substance only appears as a candidate SVHC, this might result in a de facto blacklisting of the
substance by the industry or consumers.
• Not all companies are legally required to be REACH compliant BUT those legal requirements drive broad, global supply chain requirements for all Agile PLM Customers.
• Just like RoHS did.
7
SVHC Candidate List• Initial list published 28 Oct 2008• 15 substances as of 28 Oct 2008, 7 of
which are currently going through the authorization process
• New candidate SVHC substances will be added every 6 months
• Expected to eventually reach 1500 to 2000 substances
• Environmental groups have created their own wish list of SVHCs using the REACH SVHC definition. These substances could be added over time to the official SVHC candidate list.
• www.sinlist.org

REACH Requirements for Article Manufacturers
Situation Pre-requisite Action REACH
Your product releases a substance (e.g. an ink cartridge releasing ink ) and is imported to, or made in, Europe
•The substance is intended to be released under normal and foreseeable conditions of use.
•The substance is not excluded from REACH or exempted from registration (Annex IV).
•The substance is not already registered for that particular use in articles.•The substance is/will be imported into the EU in quantities over 1 metric ton
per year per manufacturer or importer
You have to register that substance with ECHA
Article 7.1
Your product contains a candidate SVHC and is imported to, or made in, Europe
•Your article contains a candidate SVHC above a maximum allowable concentration level (0.1% weight by article weight)
•Note: Some countries have dissenting views and require 0.1% weight by component article weight. Remember that enforcement of REACH is at the country level.
•The SVHC will be imported into the EU in quantities over 1 metric ton per year per producer or importer
•Exposure of the substances to humans or the environment cannot be excluded (including disposal)
•The substance is not already registered for that particular use.
You have to notify the ECHA starting June 1, 2011 and thereafter within 6 months after an SVHC is placed on the candidate list
Article 7.2
Your product contains a candidate SVHC and is imported to, or made in Europe
•Your article contains a candidate SVHC above a maximum allowable concentration level (0.1% weight by article weight)
•Note: Some countries have dissenting views and require 0.1% weight by component article weight. Remember that enforcement of REACH is at the country level.
you have to provide the recipient of the article with sufficient information to allow safe use of the article including, as a minimum, the name of that substance
Article 33.1
Someone (not just customers but also consumers and environmental groups) asks about candidate SVHCs in your product
•Your article contains a candidate SVHC above a maximum allowable concentration level (0.1% weight by article weight)
•Note 1: Some countries have dissenting views and require 0.1% weight by component article weight. Remember that enforcement of REACH is at the country level.
•Note 2: This requirement starts as soon as an SVHC is added to the candidate list. This means that companies are already required since Oct 28, 2008 to provide this information when requested.
you must provide the requestor with sufficient information to allow safe use of the article including, at a minimum, the name of that substance within 45 days of the request, free of charge.
Article 33.2

RoHS 2.0
• Currently in draft• Anticipated activation 4th Q of 2012, or 1st Q of 2013• Inclusion of category 8 and 9 products (medical devices and industrial
monitoring & control instruments)• Sunset seven of the current RoHS exemptions, include one new
exemption• Potentially add 4 new substances
• HBCDD - Brominated flame retardant• DEHP - Phthalate plasticizer in PVC• DBP - Phthalate plasticizer• BBP
• More standardized RoHS compliance checks and processes (“declaration of conformity”) are now required in order to put the CE mark on your products.
10
What Does It Mean?
• Integrating compliance into your product development processes• Not a one-time high effort data collection exercise in Excel, Access or stand-alone compliance
tools focused on a particular regulation
• Develop a compliance roadmap
• Getting robust product compliance management systems• Staying up to date on regulations
• Trade associations, in-house legal team, consultants, legislation tracking services
• Developing a corporate environmental strategy in line with your business objectives• Lobbying? Alone or through trade group?
• Review agreements with partners and suppliers?
• Communication plan to mediate negative PR?Don’t-Ask-

Summary of solution
• With Agile Product Governance & Compliance, companies are enabled to:• Collaborate with suppliers to collect material data via supplier
material declarations.• Generate an environmental view of the product record to analyze for
compliance with different legislations and specifications.• Manage regulatory documentation and specifications• Track recovery manifests and disposal certificates of destruction• Manage compliance of outsourced design, manufacturing and
recovery partners through proactive audit and closed loop corrective actions

14
What is WEEE?
• Aims to reduce the waste arising from electrical andelectronic equipment.
• Affects those involved in manufacturing, selling,distributing, recycling or treating electricaland electronic equipment
• By 13 August 2005:• Producers will be responsible for financing the
collection, treatment, recovery and disposal ofWEEE from private households and businesses.
• By 31 December 2006:• producers will be required to achieve a series of demanding recycling and
recovery targets for different categories of appliance
• Exemptions apply
15
What is RoHS?
• “Roze”; Ross”, Ro-haas” – Hmmmm…. few haveagreed on how to pronounce it, even fewer canagree on how to comply
• From 1 July 2006 onwards: • Restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium, PBB or PBDE above acertain threshold value by weight byhomogenous material.
• Exemptions apply
16
EU Laws Stimulate Global Cascade
California: Prop 65 restrictions on materials (e.g., lead cables) SB20 and SB50 set recycling limits in 2005SB423 harmonizes with RoHS January 1, 2007
EU: RoHS and WEEE China MII: WEEE in 2006, RoHS being finalized for 2006/2007
Korea: Industry agreements to limit certain materials and for products to be recyclable
Japan: Recycle target active for household electronics and chemical label plans in draft; “Mitsubishi Green 150 initiative active”
Brazil: Existing recycling targets for electronic products and batteries
EU: EuP Program Aug 2007—action required 2006
EU: REACH Program 2008+ votes in Nov 2005
Colombia—Draft National Hazardous Waste Policy
USA—Federal- Restricted Substances for Hg
Mexico’s Final List of Substances for Toxic Release Inventory and Final Rules on Wood Packaging
Chile’s proposal for a National Pollutant Tracking System
USA—Federal- Energy Efficiency (external power supplies)
Clear need for sustainable, global, environmental compliance programs.
Countries are rapidly implementing WEEE and RoHS requirementsNew European requirements (EuP, REACH)
Recycling, battery and packaging requirements are being updated
17
China RoHS• Labeling and information disclosure
requirements on electronic information products (EIPs) since March 1, 2007 (pollution control symbol, environmentally friendly use period, packaging label and table of hazardous materials)
• EIPs listed in special “Catalogue” will have substance restrictions as well as a compulsory registration.
• Effective date still TBD for ban of six standard substances and pre-market compliance certification requirements (as of April 2007)
• Product scope, certification process, and maximum concentration values still to be determined
• Testing/Certification by Chinese labs only
18
Japan RoHS / J-Moss Label
• Changes to Law for Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources
• Not a ban for the 6 RoHS substances but labeling and declaration for certain products required
• personal computers (including CRT and LCD displays), air conditioners, televisions, microwave ovens, clothes dryers, electric refrigerators, electric washing machines, and copying machines
• Requires the orange “content mark” be applied if substances are used (unless exempt)
• The green mark is voluntary and is more of an eco-label
• If substances are used (even if covered by exemption), then material declaration is required
19
Energy-using Product (EuP) Directive
• Example of an Integrated Product Policy (“Cradle to Grave” thinking) to most cost effectively reduce the environmental impact and resource use of a product.
• Member states must bring into force laws, regulations, and administrative provisions by August 11, 2007
• Provides EU-wide rules for “eco-design”• Framework Directive does not introduce
directly binding requirements for specific products, but defines conditions and criteria for setting such requirements (consumption of resources; emissions; waste generation; environmental impact of noise, vibrations, radiation and EMF; ..).
• Through subsequent implementing measures, requirements regarding environmentally relevant product characteristics (such as energy consumption) can be set and, once adopted, they can be adapted quickly
