RoHS has been effective since 1st July, we have not heard
any related penalty stories in Hong Kong. However, in
Taiwan — according to Integrated Service Technology (IST),
a test and analysis lab in Taiwan, they estimate four or
five of Taiwan's electronics companies have been disqualified
for engaging in any business activities within the European Union
(EU) for failure to meet RoHS Directive guidelines. The company
also stated that the disqualified importers were fined for failed
products shipped to the EU. Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs
stated that it had received no information regarding RoHS
disqualification cases.
Fines for the disputed product of these cases equal to about US$
300,000 in average. One company reportedly received NT$100 million,
or $3.1 million U.S., worth of goods returned due to incompatibility
with lead-free regulations.
IST executives comment that many Taiwanese companies overlooked the
potential impact of the RoHS Directive until the deadline arrived.
A large number of error analysis contract are not being requested by
manufacturers. This suggests that the real challenges with RoHS has
just begun in Taiwan. Reliability issues are apparently overlooked in
the lead-free transition of some companies.
Government data released in late June 2006 stated that more than 90% of
Taiwan's EU-bound exports were RoHS-compliant, which contradicts the
test company's assertion that several companies face compliance disputes
and fines. Taiwan-based copper-clad laminate manufacturers, as well as
LED makers and silicon foundries, have reportedly experienced growth
thanks to the RoHS Directive.
