On Essentiality of RoHS in EE R&D Ecosystem
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Sustainable development demands environmentally friendly products and hence Research and Development ecosystem needs to adopt environmental compliances. This fact is truer for Electrical and Electronics products as its new product launch rate is very high which also produces high rate of obsolescence and hence e-waste. In India one of the environmental standards is RoHS and in this review a case has been presented for early adoption of the compliance in Indian Research and Development ecosystem through modified Nair’s Product Development Cycle. Advantages of early adoption are avoidance of repetition of expected pollution from e-waste again in future, preventing health issues among researchers who handle such substances and improvement of industry confidence on the pre-competitive R&D. Finally RoHS2 instead of RoHS1 has been recommended for adoption to prevent rejection of developed product in future.
