Botsford teaching at IPC Apex Expo, Las Vegas, NV

2 April, 2009

BETP's Krista Botsford will be giving a workshop at the IPC's Apex Expo entitled Data Management for Eco-Compliance. The workshop will be from 10:00 am to 2:00 PM. Krista will be available throughout the conference to discuss eco-compliance and how BETP can assist your company.

Abstract:

With the ever-changing landscape of eco-compliance, companies need a quick and reliable way to gather, track and report environmental compliance data for the electronic products they manufacture and distribute. From certificates of compliance to materials declarations, every company needs to be prepared to respond to a governing agency inquiry or a customer request for proof of compliance. This workshop will cover the basics of a data management system, and explain what data should be available for an audit based on existing eco-compliance legislation. There will also be some discussion of emerging eco-compliance legislation.

What you will learn:

• Strategy for eco-compliance data management systems; as well as general eco-compliance programs
• Best practices for small to medium-sized enterprises (SME)
• Requirements for existing and expected international eco-compliance requirements – such as design, recycling, production and manufacturing
