A manufacturing problem shared is a manufacturing problem solved, when working in partnership with Cemgraft Electronic Manufacturing After July 2006, assemblies and components that are imported into Europe must be lead free. The producer of the product is responsible, which means that the manufacturer or importer of the goods into the European Union needs to comply with the legislation. If components or sub-assemblies are incorporated into another product, the producer of the component or sub-assembly is responsible.

Exemptions exist under the WEEE and RoHS directives, but they are constantly changing and the enforcement of the legislation is yet to be agreed.

If you are currently included under the legislation you need to implement a plan with your contract manufacturer. Cemgraft Electronic Manufacturing can develop a plan to ensure the smooth transition to Lead-Free Manufacturing
