How to Stay Compliant with New Regulations
Non-compliant products could lead to fines as high as $2,500 per violation per day. Companies must provide proper notification to the public on the steps taken towards compliance.
Staying on top of materials compliance requires a lot of research just to find data on what materials are being used, from looking at supplier PCNs, full material declaration reports, manufacturing reports on plating finishes, and making sure these documents are the latest issued by the chip manufacturer.
