1 min read
Electronics distributor, Farnell, has been approached by the Government's Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) to produce a background piece on RoHS and WEEE recasts (RoHS 2 and WEEE 2).
The company will also help promote a series of roadshows the Government department is running to enable users or producers of electrical and electronic equipment to understand the major developments in European legislation affecting the electronics industry.
Gary Nevison, Farnell's head of Legislation and Compliance, said: "Having a UK Government department approach Farnell to raise awareness on the significant subject of RoHS and WEEE recasts shows how we, as a business, are providing bespoke, independent expertise in the electronics legislation space. We are delighted our opinion is valued by the BIS and are keen to assist and promote the forthcoming roadshows by offering our best support."
Business Minister, Mark Prisk, added: "We are pleased Farnell are able to support us in the delivery of our environmental roadshows, which will assist businesses in understanding the European directives that will impact them as we look to renewed growth."
The roadshows, which will take place across the UK, are free half day events where people can find out these changes and how they will impact business, identify the requirements for business compliance and refresh awareness of obligations.
