What is REACH?

EU Chemicals Regulation

- Registration

- Evaluation

- Authorization and restriction

- Chemicals Protection human health + environment Enhancing competitiveness of EU chemicals industry

12,400 Substances 48,000 registrations ECHA


- environmental fate, - eco-toxicological, - physico-chemical:

Limit testing by: Substance Information Exchange Forum (SIEF)

Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) Regulatory authority in implementing REACH

What about ASTM?


What about testing?

Only toxicity testing?


Comparison REACH regulations

EU –China- Korea


REACH and ASTM F2577-14

Scope: -  case studies to illustrate the decision

process -  On forehand knowledge: example

wrought steel: there is no need to test for organic substances -  Generic: If knowledge cannot rule out

that a substance is present a test method may be required

-  recommendations on the application and frequency of test methods

Guidance for Assessment of Materials and Products for Declarable Substances


ASTM advantage for REACH

Advantages:

- True international experts: - EU - Asian countries - Americas - Global players involved: -  Bureau Veritas, Intertek, UL,

others

- Bi-annual screening and update


What is RoHS 2?

EU Regulation

- Restriction

- Of - Hazardous

- Substances (Cd, Cr6+, Hg, Pb, PBB+PBDE)

Prevent the release of hazardous substances into the environment Ban on heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals in electrical and electronic equipment RoHS 2: much wider range of products: thermostats, medical devices, cables, control panels

Electric+ electronic equipment


RoHS 2

What’s new? •  A gradual extension to all EEE, cables and

spare parts; full compliance by 2019; •  A review of banned substances by July 2014,

and periodically thereafter; •  Clearer and more transparent rules for granting

exemptions •  Improved coherence with REACH •  Clarification of important definitions •  CE marking denoting compliance with EU

norms and RoHS •  transition periods of up to 8 years for new

products affected


RoHS: EU, South-Korea, China


•  Upstream focus •  6 substances: Pb, Hg, Cd, CrIV,

PBB,PBDE •  E&E •  Homogeneous materials discussion •  Import testing •  REACH and more categories

•  Continuous improvement, design and recycling technology

•  Heavy metals and flame retardants •  Cooperation government + producers •  Same exemptions as EU RoHS •  No mark required •  Not applicable before 2008

•  Catalogue of Waste Electric and Electronic Product

•  Same 6 substances as EU RoHS

•  Must be on Catalog

•  No exemptions

•  Export testing


EU: IEC is mandated: Testmethod IEC 62321 -  IEC 62321-1 Part 1: Introduction and

overview -  IEC 62321-2 Part 2: Disassembly, disjunction

and mechanical sample preparation -  IEC 62321-3-1 Part 3-1: Screening - Lead,

mercury, cadmium, total chromium and total bromine using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry -  IEC 62321-3-2 Part 3-2: Screening - Total

bromine in polymers and electronics by Combustion - Ion Chromatography -  IEC 62321-4 Part 4: Mercury in polymers,

metals and electronics by CV-AAS, CV- AFS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS -  IEC 62321-5 Part 5: Cadmium, lead and

chromium in polymers and electronics and cadmium and lead in metals by AAS, AFS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS

What about RoHS testing?

and ASTM?


In progress: -  tin-based solder alloys using optical emission spectrometry; -  analysis of heavy metals in glass by field portable X-ray

fluorescence (XRF); -  identification and quantification of lead in paint and other

coatings using energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDXRF); and -  analysis of tin-based solder alloys for lead, cadmium, mercury,

antimony and bismuth (and others) using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.


RoHS 2 and ASTM

F2617: Identification and Quantification of Chromium, Bromine, Cadmium, Mercury, and Lead in Polymeric Material Using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry F2853: Determination of Lead in Paint Layers and Similar Coatings or in Substrates and Homogenous Materials by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry


ASTM advantage for RoHS

Advantages:

- True international subject matter experts: - EU - Asian countries - Americas - Global players involved: -  Testing labs and instrument

manufacturers - Bi-annual screening and

update - 4 year update, F2577, F2617


Rare Earth Materials (REMs)

What are they …..why bother?


REMs in the world

Why


Perspectives: - Policy framework for raw materials: consumption,

availability, sustainable supply - Remove trade barriers: Chili, Peru, Centr. Americas - Monitoring and enforcement - Outreach activities Activities EU -  2008 raw materials initiatives (TTIP) - ERECON


REMs and EU perspective

EU Perspectives and activities

“Interdependence of countries is real and unavoidable on how to achieve sustainable trade in raw materials on global markets”


ASTM and REMs

F40.04 scope -  promotion of knowledge -  stimulation of research -  implementation of technology through the

development of standards for rare earth materials -  collaboration within ASTM + private,

governmental, and academic entities

F40.04 workitems: - WK44003 Identification and Quantification

of REEs in REMs by XRF - WK454216 test method for Sintered

neodymium iron boron permanent magnetic materials


ASTM Advantage for REMs

Advantages

- Collaborations: -  AMES (MOU) -  RETA

- Workshops: Shanghai, 2014: US trade, China trade departments and ASTM F40 members - Subject matter expert discussion, not

political


Summary

Topics discussed REACH, RoHS, REMs - EU, Korea and China - ASTM Advantages
