JIG represents
the industry-wide consensus on the
relevant materials and substances that must be reported
within the electrotechnical supply chain because of legal or market requirements.
Its scope is intended to be comprehensive and global. |
| |
Legal: regulations include those
enacted by the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Austria,
Lithuania, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Canada and the US
(including the states of California, Vermont, Rhode Island, New
York and Louisiana); these are Criteria 1 ("R" regulated)
reasons for disclosure; only materials and substances applicable
to electrotechnical products are included in JIG |
| |
Market: design for environment (DfE)
standards include those developed by the IPC, IEC, IEEE,
DigitalEurope, CECED, AeA and EERA; these are Criteria 3
("I" information) reasons for disclosure |
| |
Scope: disclosure is required for
the materials and substances present in the supplied product,
including batteries, but excluding process chemicals (not
remaining in finished product) and packaging materials |
| |
Threshold: materials and substances
are reported when they equal or exceed the designated threshold
level (weight % or ppm); disclosure is not required when they fall
below the threshold level |
| |
Intentionally added: when this is the
threshold, substances whose "continual presence is desired to
provide a specific characteristic, appearance or quality" must
be reported, regardless of quantity |
| |
CAS: when the CAS number is
provided in the list itself (Annex A), only that specific
substance must be reported; when the CAS number is not provided
in Annex A, all instances of the category must be
reported (the CAS numbers in Annex B are provided only as
examples) |
| |
Data fields: required fields
include company name &
response date, product name, supplier part number & total mass
(g), substance name & mass (g);
in addition, location of substance and weight (%) are required
when the threshold is exceeded |
|
Eleven new substances/categories
were added to the list: seven from REACH SVHC candidate lists,
three from Directive 76/769/EEC on dangerous substances, and one
from Directive 2001/95/EC on product safety. A summary of
