《歐盟RoHS》7月1日生效 台灣250億元產品不合格

歐盟《限用六大項有害物質》(RoHS)指令將於2006年7月1日正式生效，凡規範中的電子電器產品在進入歐洲市場時，將不得含有鉛、汞、鎘、六價鉻、PBB及PBDE等危害物質。目前，工業局表示，國內仍有164家上市、上櫃公司，尚未準備好符合RoHS指令，預估影響產值約250億元。

◎不符RoHS規定 影響產值250億元
根據工業局官員表示，台灣去年總共有972家廠商外銷電子產品至歐盟，其中有164家上市櫃公司認為無法在7月1日以前符合《歐盟RoHS》規範。除此之外，官員也指出，台灣去年出口歐盟總值約2500億元，預計RoHS上路以後，不符規定的電子產品的產值約占總出口歐盟的10%，總額250億元。

◎供應商須符合大廠規範
RoHS指令限用六大項危害物質，尤其『鉛』的應用範圍非常廣泛，包括印刷電路板(PCB)、主機板、電源線..等，因此業者必須尋找其他合適的替代方案以符合RoHS規範。另一方面，歐盟的環保意識也散播到世界各地。最近，不僅中國頒布《電子資訊產品污染控制管理辦法》(RoHS)，美國加州《電子設備限用四大項有害物質》(RoHS)法令也將於2007年1月1日實施。另外，新力(Sony)、戴爾(Dell)、惠普(HP) ..等國際大廠也紛紛訂定各自的綠色採購標準來要求供應商符合相關規定。因此，本土業者必須積極建立各自的綠色供應鏈以爭取更多大廠的訂單。總之，隨著《歐盟RoHS》實施日期日漸逼近，相關電子業者愈早符合RoHS規定愈有利產品銷售。

《EU RoHS》could hurt Taiwanese NT$25 billion sales

Starting on July 1, the EU will implement its Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, which effectively bans six substances, including cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium and lead, from electrical and electronics products. The nation's electronics industry could lose up to 10 percent of its output value to the EU as many manufacturers have yet to comply with the EU's new environmental regulations, which come into effect in July, according to a recent estimate by the Industrial Development Bureau.

◎Non-RoHS Compliance may make the loss of NT$25 billion
Among the 972 companies listed in Taiwan that export their goods to the region, 164 of them were still unprepared for the new rules, the bureau said, without specifying which companies.
Taiwan exported nearly NT$250 billion (US$7.7 billion) of electrical and electronics goods to the EU last year. Should these companies remain unable to meet the requirement when the directive comes into effect, orders worth about NT$25 billion may disappear each year, the bureau estimated.
◎Suppliers should comply with the major companies green standards
As the six substances banned by RoHS, especially lead, are widely used in products such as printed circuit boards, motherboards and power cords, companies need to find feasible and affordable replacement substances. But alternative substances, along with new technology and equipment, will significantly increase production costs.
Environmental awareness has also spread outside the EU, so that countries including the US and China are pushing through legislation similar to the RoHS act. Major multinational electronics companies such as Sony Corp, Dell Inc and Hewlett-Packard Co have set up their own green procurement standards.
Companies devoted to environmentally friendly manufacturing and related businesses have been reaping the benefits as the introduction of the new rules has approached.
