RoHS & REACH

RoHS

Restrictions about the use of particular toxic substances within electrical and electronic equipments
The objective of this type of legislation is to contribute to the protection of human health and the eco-friendly collection and disposal of WEEE in relation to the use of toxic substances in electrical and electronic equipments. New electrical and electronic products, which have not contained Phthalate materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chrome, PBB or PBDE since July of 2006 and will not contain DEHP, DIBP, DBP, BBP, etc. from 2019, should be produced.

What is REACH

REACH abbreviate the words of Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemical. REACH is a regulation to control and restrict chemical or product import by Registration, Evaluation, Authorization along the import quantity and degree of environmental risk. So material and product manufacturer needs to contol product composition and substance’s environmental risk management.

SK hynix Compliance Situation to REACH

SK hynix certify that SK hynix guarantee and comply to REACH regulation by below fact. SK hynix don’t have duty of registration by the reason that SK hynix’ products are classified as non-exposure article. SK hynix don’t have duty of notification by the reason that SK hynix’ product free from currently presented SVHC’s 46 substance. As guarantee SK hynix can share composing substance of product with customer by right appropriate process. SK hynix have been remaining relationship of communication about environmental information to confirm SVHC substance.

Halogen Free

Hazardous halogen & the necessity for substitution

What are the elements belong to the halogen family?
They are fluorine, chloride, bromine and iodine, all of which are very active and used as a fire retardant for the semiconductor package material.
Harmfulness & the necessity for substitution
Toxic substances such as dioxin and difuran are generated if incinerated.
These substances tend to accumulate in a human body for a long period of time causing environmental hormone problems In particular fluorine, chloride and bromine are known to severe depletion of ozone layer when exposed to the atmosphere, and for this reason regulation is being increasing reinforced with EU leading such regulation trends.
EU and Japan are expected to take the lead in implementing the regulation beginning from 2008, and for this reason the halogen substance used for manufacturing the semiconductor must find a substitute.

Halogen-free Regulation Standards

  • JPCA(Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association) JPCA-ES-01-1999 defines Circuits and method for "halogen-free“

    Br < 0.09wt%(900ppm), CI < 0.09wt%(900ppm)

  • IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) Finalized requirements of IEC 61249-2-21

    • 900ppm maximum CI, 900ppm maximum Br
    • 1500 ppm maximum total halogens
  • IPC - 4101B has adopted the IEC definition of halogen-free

    • 900ppm maximum CI, 900ppm maximum Br
    • 1500 ppm maximum total halogens
  • Note

    fluorine, iodine, and astatine (other Group VIIA halogens) are not restricted in the industry definition of "halogen-free“.
