Keeping markets open
                … and CEOs out of Jail

For over 5 years, Botsford has been in the business of
keeping CEOs out of jail. We help them understand
environmental laws impacting the goods they manufacturer.
Non-compliance to these laws puts revenue streams at risk
which directly impacts shareholder value.
Botsford EcoTech Partners provides a leading-edge web-
based tool to assist in product environmental compliance .
Through ELM, companies are enabled and empowered to
quickly bring their companies and products into compliance
with the product environmental compliance laws.

General Trends for Product Eco‐Tech
• Increased product environmental regulation
   – Design: labeling for hazardous materials, restriction of 
     materials
   – Use: energy, safety, life‐cycle
   – Packaging: included in most regulations
   – Recycling: increasing producer responsibility, growing 
     pressure to classify electrical and electronic equipment as 
     “hazardous”

China RoHS ‐ Materials restriction and associated, 
     compulsory pre‐market certification under “Phase II”
Key agencies: (Ministry of Industry and Information 
  Technology (“MIIT”) and the Certification and Accreditation 
  Administration (“CNCA”, under Administration for Quality 
  Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine)
   – Delays in finalizing the program continue as key agencies undertook 
     internal “consultations” relating to overall approach and details 
     concerning China RoHS Catalogue and associated certification program.
   – Certification program compulsory (per Article 19 of China RoHS 
     regulation). Model for CNCA China RoHS certification are the existing 
     China Compulsory Certification (“CCC” or “3C”) safety licensing 
     certification programs, with “some modifications possible”.
   – Current list of restricted substances (same as EU): Lead, Mercury, 
     Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and 
     Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE),
   – Testing methods: “Testing Methods for Regulated Substances in Electronic 
     Information Products” must be used, also a Chinese government 
     approved/certified Lab must be used for testing.

China RoHS  ‐ Industry Concerns
• Finalization of First Batch of China RoHS Catalogue
   – Necessity of adding in missing exemptions for the proposed product 
     categories, importance of using language/exemption listings that are 
     consistent (in wording and numbering) with those used in the EU RoHS 
     program, to minimize company compliance clarity and system 
     changes. (example: repair parts.)
   – China’s willingness to consider “positive” (i.e., listed) exemptions, as 
     opposed to an earlier approach of indicating “if it is not specifically 
     listed it is not covered” (i.e., “negative exemption” approach), 
     represents months of industry exchanges with MIIT and MIIT technical 
     advisors on these issues.
   – MIIT’s reluctance to move toward a “positive” exemption approach 
     also reflects the political difficulties associated with Chinese agencies 
     taking up what may be perceived as “following another legal program” 
     (in this case, the EU program). This reluctance may again manifest as 
     industry attempts to make the exemptions consistent with the EU 
     exemptions as they currently exist.

China RoHS  ‐ Next Steps
•   WTO TBT Committee notification of draft Catalogue, first batch. Possible any day, 
    as MIIT has met other authorities and reached agreement to notify WTO.
•   Comment period, based on China past notifications, is typically 60 days from 
    notification to the TBT Committee.
     – So, for instance, if the Catalogue is notified on July 15, WTO members would have until mid 
       September 2010 for comment.
     – China typically finalizes notified laws very promptly after the WTO comment period ends.
•   If finalized (promulgated) by, end of September 2010, you would count 10 
    months until the effective date, if the timing indicated in the current draft 
    Catalogue does not change (so, summer 2011).

•   The “upgrading” of the China RoHS framework regulation to a State Council regulation (from 
    an MIIT regulation) and possibly also the upgrading of the three key China RoHS standards 
    (i.e., labeling, concentration limit, and testing) to national (GB) standards, presents a very 
    significant future challenge for our industry.
•   Current estimates are that this will not occur for 2‐3 years. This presents a possible 1‐2 year 
    gap (or breather) between finalization of the substance restriction/certification “phase 2” of 
    the China RoHS program and “opening up” the entire program (phases 1 and 2) to further 
    changes, including possible massive scope changes.

Background ‐ Government
• RoHS Enforcement Audits ongoing since 2006
   – Some audits are objective, others subjective
• Nearly 50% of audits fail.
• Mistakes  are common 
   – Largest areas of non‐compliance was use of non‐
     compliance parts and processes.
• Product removals happen
• Member states expanding information sharing.

Background ‐ Corporate
• Audits pre‐date government
   – Requirements exceed legal mandates 
• Nearly 100% of audits fail
• Impact varies
   –   Revenue recognition
   –   Inability to process RFP
   –   Hold on purchasing of products
   –   Inability to ship products
• Mistakes are common across industries and 
  companies.

Common Mis‐Steps
• Information delivered generates more questions than answers
• Responsiveness
   – Not in a timely manner
   – Incomplete materials/ information
• Reliant only on documents
   – Provide only CoC or  disclosures statements
   – Missing:
       • 3rd party audits
       • risk assessments
       • policies and procedures
• Assumption of “too small to be of concern”
   – “No‐Name” brands or re‐branded items considered very high concern

Implementing a “Auditable” Program
• Instrumentation of the program
   – Cross functional
• Risk evaluation
   – Supplier, manufacturers, 
• Metrics gathering
   – Internal/external auditing, supplier audits
• Evaluation of tools
   – Software, news & data, audits
• Self‐evaluation criteria
   – Who is in charge?
   – Will TCF stand alone – or is interpertation needed?

Tips on Surviving an Audit
• Assume nothing
   – Auditor will not familiar with your company or products
• Be responsive
   – Provide information in a timely manner
   – Provide complete technical compliance file; not just 
     materials information
• Prepare for/Anticipate questions

Conclusions
• Eco‐compliance is a product feature
   – It should be tested
   – Avoid having your customer find this bug
• Understand corporate risk
   – Independent assessments are key
• Develop a process‐based approach

  • 15. China RoHS  ‐ Industry Concerns • Finalization of First Batch of China RoHS Catalogue – Necessity of adding in missing exemptions for the proposed product  categories, importance of using language/exemption listings that are  consistent (in wording and numbering) with those used in the EU RoHS  program, to minimize company compliance clarity and system  changes. (example: repair parts.) – China’s willingness to consider “positive” (i.e., listed) exemptions, as  opposed to an earlier approach of indicating “if it is not specifically  listed it is not covered” (i.e., “negative exemption” approach),  represents months of industry exchanges with MIIT and MIIT technical  advisors on these issues. – MIIT’s reluctance to move toward a “positive” exemption approach  also reflects the political difficulties associated with Chinese agencies  taking up what may be perceived as “following another legal program”  (in this case, the EU program). This reluctance may again manifest as  industry attempts to make the exemptions consistent with the EU  exemptions as they currently exist. © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC From TechAmerica presentation by  All Rights Reserved Heather Bowman
  • 16. China RoHS  ‐ Next Steps • WTO TBT Committee notification of draft Catalogue, first batch. Possible any day,  as MIIT has met other authorities and reached agreement to notify WTO. • Comment period, based on China past notifications, is typically 60 days from  notification to the TBT Committee. – So, for instance, if the Catalogue is notified on July 15, WTO members would have until mid  September 2010 for comment. – China typically finalizes notified laws very promptly after the WTO comment period ends. • If finalized (promulgated) by, end of September 2010, you would count 10  months until the effective date, if the timing indicated in the current draft  Catalogue does not change (so, summer 2011). • The “upgrading” of the China RoHS framework regulation to a State Council regulation (from  an MIIT regulation) and possibly also the upgrading of the three key China RoHS standards  (i.e., labeling, concentration limit, and testing) to national (GB) standards, presents a very  significant future challenge for our industry. • Current estimates are that this will not occur for 2‐3 years. This presents a possible 1‐2 year  gap (or breather) between finalization of the substance restriction/certification “phase 2” of  the China RoHS program and “opening up” the entire program (phases 1 and 2) to further  changes, including possible massive scope changes. © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC From TechAmerica presentation by  All Rights Reserved Heather Bowman
  • 17. China RoHS Update/Outlook • Waiting to for publication of catalogue – No known date • When published, expect a 9‐month implementation  period © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 18. Background ‐ Government • RoHS Enforcement Audits ongoing since 2006 – Some audits are objective, others subjective • Nearly 50% of audits fail. • Mistakes  are common  – Largest areas of non‐compliance was use of non‐ compliance parts and processes. • Product removals happen • Member states expanding information sharing. © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 19. Background ‐ Corporate • Audits pre‐date government – Requirements exceed legal mandates  • Nearly 100% of audits fail • Impact varies – Revenue recognition – Inability to process RFP – Hold on purchasing of products – Inability to ship products • Mistakes are common across industries and  companies. © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 20. Common Mis‐Steps • Information delivered generates more questions than answers • Responsiveness – Not in a timely manner – Incomplete materials/ information • Reliant only on documents – Provide only CoC or  disclosures statements – Missing: • 3rd party audits • risk assessments • policies and procedures • Assumption of “too small to be of concern” – “No‐Name” brands or re‐branded items considered very high concern © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 21. Implementing a “Auditable” Program • Instrumentation of the program – Cross functional • Risk evaluation – Supplier, manufacturers,  • Metrics gathering – Internal/external auditing, supplier audits • Evaluation of tools – Software, news & data, audits • Self‐evaluation criteria – Who is in charge? – Will TCF stand alone – or is interpertation needed? © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 22. Tips on Surviving an Audit • Assume nothing – Auditor will not familiar with your company or products • Be responsive – Provide information in a timely manner – Provide complete technical compliance file; not just  materials information • Prepare for/Anticipate questions © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 23. Conclusions • Eco‐compliance is a product feature – It should be tested – Avoid having your customer find this bug • Understand corporate risk – Independent assessments are key • Develop a process‐based approach © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
  • 24. How Botsford EcoTech Can Help • Complementary Risk assessments • In‐depth Supplier/supply chain audits • RoHS‐CE unit creation  – 3rd party info verification for CE mark • Total solutions for product environmental  compliance  – Managed services – Cost‐effective, customer/self‐driven solutions © 2010 Botsford EcoTech Partners LLC All Rights Reserved
