RS Components (rswww.com), the leading distributor of electronic, electrical, electromechanical and industrial components, has added advanced functions to its website to further ease its customers’ RoHS compliance efforts. With businesses still unaware of the exact details of the RoHS Directive, and what is required of them to achieve compliance, RS is providing unparalleled support. Klaus Goeldenbot, RS UK General Manager, said: “RoHS is almost upon us but our Customer feedback suggests that not everyone is ready. The main issue facing customers is their ability to demonstrate compliance. Through the RS website functionality and its new tools, any business can be certain of each and every product’s compliance status.” The first of the new website functions is a printable Certificate of RoHS Conformance, a link to which appears next to every compliant product within the online catalogue. Simply clicking on this link brings up the certificate, which includes the standard statement of RoHS compliance and full product information including RS stock number and manufacturer details. This new service helps businesses to meet the legal requirements of the Directive to maintain product records for four years, and show ‘due diligence’ that they have done everything possible to comply.
