''Life after EU RoHS'' Forum Scheduled for September 28; iNEMI and IPC Sponsor Event to Discuss Emerging Environmental Regulations.HERNDON, Va. and BANNOCKBURN, Ill. -- The International Electronics Manufacturing This article presents a typical manufacturing process of an electronic assembly. Component manufacturing Components such as resistors, capacitors and integrated circuits are generally made by specialized contractors. Initiative (iNEMI) and IPC-Association Connecting Electronics Industries(R) announce a half-day forum, "Life after EU RoHS," on September 28, 2006 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center The Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is a convention center for Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Built in 1975, the center has exhibition space of 840,000 sq ft (0 m). in Rosemont, Ill. (Chicago). This forum will look at emerging environmental regulations around the globe and identify collaborative efforts to close policy and technology gaps in preparation for future legislation. "There are a number of new requirements being implemented in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., and industry needs to be involved in the policy discussions as well as preparing for the technology challenges," says Fern Abrams, director of environmental policy for IPC (1) (InterProcess Communication) The exchange of data between one program and another either within the same computer or over a network. It implies a protocol that guarantees a response to a request. . The forum will provide an overview of key legislation that is currently pending, such as EU REACH, EU EuP, China RoHS The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

Participants will also identify policy and technology gaps and discuss potential new efforts to close them. Forum speakers include: --Robert C. Pfahl, vice president, iNEMI --Fern Abrams, director of environmental policy, IPC --Jean-Philippe Brisson, associate, Allen & Overy, LLP LLP - Lower Layer Protocol --Thomas E. Valliere, senior vice president, Design Chain Associates, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control "Although many electronics manufacturers are already involved in the policy debates underway, communication between the policy and technology functions within companies could be improved," says Bob Pfahl, vice president for iNEMI. "As was the case with RoHS/WEEE, a number of these new regulations will require multiple functions within companies to develop effective and traceable solutions that harmonize with existing product and process requirements."
