RoHS has been in effect for more than a month. Can you confidently report that your products are compliant, based on a complete and accurate product compliance record? If you answered “no,” you are hardly alone. According to a RoHS readiness survey Arena Solutions conducted, 65 percent of respondents said they wouldn’t be able to confidently report compliance based on an accurate compliance record.
