History

Consumer Electronics, Maarten ten Houten, 14 October 2005, AR17-G05-5051-132 6

1. History Reactive: 1970 – 1980

• End of Pipe solutions• Process oriented• Driven by legislation or other external pressures

(e.g. oil crisis of 1973)


2. Active: 1980 – 1998

• First Environmental Policy (1987)• First environmental program:

‘Environmental opportunity’ (1994 - 1998)– Focus on processes and products:

(financial savings)


3. Proactive: 1998 – 2002

• Second environmental program: EcoVision• First environmental report (1998)• Product orientation and green marketing


4. Sustainable: 2002 – 2005

• First sustainability program: EcoVision II• First sustainability report in 2002• Social, Health and Safety issues

included


EcoVision 2002-2005: environmental action program• Product-related targets:

– # Green Flagship products– Packaging– EcoDesign maturity– Supply base

• Manufacturing-related targets– Energy– Water– Waste– …


High performance externally recognized

• Environmental performance of Philips is better than competition:– Selected member of Dow Jones Sustainability Index– Consistent top tier rank

• CES EcoDesign Award 2004 for 32PF9975 32” LCD TV

• Hong Kong Eco-design awards 2005 for Key019 MP3 player/movie camera, Xenium 9@9c mobile phone and DVP520 DVD player.


Consumer associations consistently rate Philips “top class” in sustainability• EU Consumer associations – led by NL

Consumentenbond – associate sustainability questionnaires & ratings with 50% of their product tests.

• Philips is the only company consistently rated in the “top” green category for CE products.

Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

EU-Directive of 2002 on:Restrictions on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Article : ‘Member States shall ensure that the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and two halogenated flame retardants is phased out by 1 July 2006.’

EU

Equal implementation over all European countries

Scope of the RoHS8 Categories - Household and professional


Maximum concentration values of RoHS (per 1 July 2006)

SUBSTANCE LIMIT (by weight)• Cadmium 100 ppm = 0.01%• Mercury 1000 ppm = 0.1%• Lead 1000 ppm• Chromium 6+ 1000 ppm• PBB 1000 ppm• PBDE Recently exempted


Exemption list for RoHS

• Several exemptions in RoHS process– Exemptions in the directive– Exemptions already accepted by EU– Exemptions requested and under review by EU

• Granted exemptions will be reviewed on a regular basis.


Other developments related to RoHS

• EU Legislation (2002/95/EC)– RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), 1 July 2006

• China adopted the RoHS 2007/ 2008?

• California issues “SB20 legislation”, 1 Jan. 2007, Same as RoHS, PBDE exempt, but reporting obligation.

EU

Hg, Cd & halogenated flame retardants banned since 1998 by PCE.

So only Pb and Cr6+ needed to implement, where was the main issue is lead.


Where can lead be found that needs to be eliminated?1. Lead in soldering2. Lead in component plating/ finishes3. Lead in components on PWB4. Lead in other parts

(incl. Cables, housing etc)

1. Soldering

2.Finishing

3. Lead in components

4. Lead in other parts


Lead Free Soldering is more difficult.


Smaller components become hotter than big ones

Big

Start solder End solder process process


Robust: No issueNot Fwd: a. Component “upgraded” for LFS

b. Alternative component requiredNot Bwd: Mainly relevant for BGA’s with SAC dots

(fwb + bwd)Not forward compatitble

Not Backward compatitble

Leaded process Ok Ok Not Ok

Lead Free process Ok Not Ok Ok

… so separation is necessary on several levels.

Coding of components/ products in Marketing Development, Purchasing, Logistics !!!

4 Complete lead free products Lead is not included in other (mechanical) parts (e.g cables etc)

2003-2005


Enforcement of RoHS compliant products

• Demonstrate a consistent approach to control compliance to RoHS requirements– Planning– In house documentation (database, reports)– Banned substance declarations– Chemical Testing (screening and detailed)

• IEC test standard will gives some guidelines.


Summary RoHS implementation

• Long learning curve for RoHS introduction• Planning is needed on product level as well as

component level• Tracking and tracing important due to process

change• Logistics systems need adaptation• Difference between data and real information• Extensive training of our organisation and

suppliers
