IECQ HSPM

There is a universal need for environmentally friendly products. Following the European Union announcements concerning WEEE, RoHS and EuP compliances, it is clear that manufacturers are now expected to take a higher level of responsibility on environmental protection. World-class manufacturers have thus started to implement tighter restrictions on product design and introduce limitations on the use of hazardous substances. Added to that, they expect a continuous compliance from their suppliers and a proof of this commitment upfront.

IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components – Hazardous Substance Process Management is the system based on the standard IEC 080000 (formerly called EIA/ECCB-954).

The purpose of the standard is for the organization to develop processes to

• Identify
• Control
• Quantify
• Report

The amounts of HS in the products they manufacture or supply.
