Compliance Insights

Reduce Your Risk: Stay Ahead of the Compliance Curve

Struggling to respond to ever-changing compliance demands? Stay one step ahead of new regulations and reduce your risk with our Vital Data Intelligence (VDI) Compliance Insights tool. When RoHS and Reach change their lists of banned substances, it’s critical to learn which parts contain harmful substances. Our tool delivers real-time competitive intelligence to inform decision-making.

EETech has partnered with Accuris to launch VDI Compliance Insights, a tool that empowers electronics manufacturers to understand immediately how new or proposed legislation might affect their components. Tapping Accuris’ database of more than 1.2 billion electronic parts, the tool uses a cutting-edge platform to help you navigate the compliance landscape in a visually appealing and easy-to-digest manner. Tap into EU RoHS, REACH, and chemical substance lists to gain immediate insights into the potential impact on your business.

Benefits

Evaluate Substances

Identify Conflict Minerals

Identify the manufacturer parts to include in an organization’s Conflict Mineral Program.

Restricted and Reportable Substances

Generate a summary report of restricted and reportable substances at the part or BOM levels.

How Our Tool Works

The dashboard displays all of the part lists (BOMs) uploaded using a dropdown menu on the left as well as the substance lists uploaded using a dropdown menu on the right. To change the view, click one of the oval-shaped buttons. Akin to a Venn diagram, these selections represent the overlap where users can filter the part lists by the substance lists. As a result, users can learn quickly which parts in their BOM contain hazardous substances.

This bar graph shows a list of substances and their weight by part. We summed the weight for every part in the BOM and broke it down by substance name. For example, copper is one of the most widely used substances, which is not surprising given that most electrical components are conductive in some way.

This is the Full Materials Disclosure (FMD) data view for a single part. The highlighted row shows where a harmful substance was found. That harmful substance was 1 of the 30 that the user uploaded to their substance list.
