Multiple methods are generally required, given that electrical and electronic products often contain many materials, parts and/or sub-assemblies with different levels of complexity.Therefore,a multi-level approachforthe control of restricted substances in products is beneficial. The framework covers all design, manufacturing and other operational functions (e.g. procurement) to evaluate the product for restricted substances. The producer shall define and execute restricted substance controls (RsC)for the operations related to its product category under consideration and ensure the execution of adequate documentationthatdemonstrateseffectiveRsC. Specific substance restrictions in electrical and electronic products can be required by legislation or customer specifications. The producer should consider relevant sources for substancerestrictions. The RsC should cover, at a minimum, the following elements: -8- TR62476@IEC:2010(E) Restricted substances and evaluation criteria.The product planning and design should indicate product category technologies, structures,product materials, parts and sub- assemblies sourcing and related design process rules. Identification of source(s) of information. Depending on the complexity of materials, parts or sub-assemblies in a particular product or product category, one or any combination of the three sources of information (not in any priority order) described below can be used: supplier information; analytical testing; manufacturing and assembling operations,including incoming supply,process and delivery control; Evaluation of information. HNEAMSNIMISEARANSUPRED BY BOK SUPLYBUREAU. The producer has responsibility for producing the RsC procedures.This means that the procedures are established, documented and implemented. A procedure for review and continual improvement of restricted substance controls should be established. NoTE These internally documented procedures could be considered "company confidential" and would not necessarily be shared openly within the supply chain. Figure1 illustrates the framework for product evaluation as described above.Applicable IEC TC 111 environment committee standards are referenced in the figure below.
