China RoHS and Demand Chain Leadership

Importance of Flexible Supply Chains
China RoHS compliance is required when selling electronic products in the market. Chinese suppliers must be screened to ensure they are providing RoHS compliant components, circuit boards, and assemblies. With the March 1, 2007 date imposing strict marking requirements on electronic products, companies need to act quickly to ensure they can continue to sell their products in China.
