How does EPCOS communicate REACH-related issues?
EPCOS maintains contact with all affected parties in the supply chain. In October 2007, EPCOS started requesting information from suppliers and responding to enquiries from customers. Within the company itself, employees and department units affected are being prepared for REACH. EPCOS takes part in regular experience sharing in the RIT (see also question 6) and in technical committees of various associations. EPCOS also helped to develop the Helpdesk of the Federation of German Industry (BDI) and REACH workshops run by the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (ZVEI). Through project work, EPCOS also contributed to the drafting of Guidance for Downstream Users and so is actively involved in the REACH process.
