The 2012 International Forum on Testing Technologies for Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Products took place at the Qixing International Hotel in Anyuan District, Pingxiang, Jiangxi. It was jointly organized by SAC/TC297/SC3, the hazardous-substance testing methods subcommittee of China’s national environmental standardization committee for electrical and electronic products and systems; the ministry-affiliated technical promotion center for electronic information product pollution control; and the Pingxiang municipal government.
More than 90 delegates attended, including RoHS standardization experts from IEC/TC111/WG3 and Chinese specialists from industry, universities, research organizations and user companies. Nayur participated in the international standardization activities and hosted related visits.
Huang Jianzhong of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Department of Energy Conservation and Resources Utilization; Chen Weimin, deputy Party secretary and mayor of Pingxiang; Zhang Hongtu, vice-president of the China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI); and Cheng Jielin, Party secretary of Anyuan District, attended and delivered remarks. These titles refer to the period of the event.
Forum discussions
Discussions covered pollution-control policies for electrical and electronic products, hazardous-substance standardization, practical use of IEC 62321 and companies’ responses to environmental regulations. Huang explained progress at the time on the state-promoted voluntary pollution-control certification program and revisions to the relevant management measures, as well as considerations for future work.
IEC/TC111/WG3 experts and CESI representatives presented international and Chinese standardization developments. A representative of the National Institute of Metrology’s chemical metrology and analytical science institute described China’s chemical measurement traceability system developed in response to RoHS.
Speakers from the Nanjing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, SGS and companies including IBM, Toshiba, LG Display, Thermo Fisher, SPECTRO, Jiangsu Skyray and Beijing Nayur shared experience with IEC 62321. XRF screening applications attracted particular interest. Intel and SGS China experts also discussed practical responses to environmental regulations.
Nayur Technical Director Yang Lifeng covered five topics: the advantages and limitations of XRF screening; analytical methods and applications for China RoHS; XRF reliability assessment and assurance; testing methods and applications; and future development. He also answered delegates’ questions. Xing Weibing, secretary-general of the ministry’s electronic information product pollution-prevention standards working group and SAC/TC297/SC3, delivered the closing remarks.
Visit to Nayur’s production facility
