I misspoke on item 3 – I said “I recommend telling them that you will not meet Japan rohs” – I meant to say Japan Green – Japan Rohs is different and applies only to ITE stuff.
I apologize for my screw up.

Japan is way ahead of the rest of the world on these Green initiatives. 2. Japan Green is not practical from a Supply Chain aspect. 3. I recommend telling them that you will not meet Japan rohs due to the practicability of you your suppliers not being able to attain Japan Green. Then offer meeting the EU RoHS and REACH requirements required by most of the world. Explain In a nice way the rest of the world has to get in sync with this first in order for you to make it a reality. Then explain that the Japan Green demand is just not attainable goal although it will be a future goal of your company to meet this requirement and that you will continue make efforts to do so. These statements are accurate for a small to mid-size company. Larger companies have more resources available to them which of course would benefit them in attaining this goal but again at what cost and would the cost be worth the effort.

Can anyone shed any light on this requirement for Japan. We are EU RoHS compliant but have not pursued any environmental compliance for Japan. We are hoping we can leverage off of our EU RoHS. Please let me know if this is possible or what we are up against. Thank you! Christine - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
