EQO suggestion

The update of RoHS exemption clauses has a significant impact on the electronic and electrical related industries, especially the extension of some frequently used exemption clauses by enterprises, which may directly affect their production processes and business activities. It is recommended that electronic and electrical product manufacturing enterprises continue to pay attention to the updates and progress of RoHS exemption clauses, timely obtain new information related to RoHS exemptions, conduct supply chain investigations, so that they can respond promptly when exemptions are updated.
