What is considered EEE?

Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts Management and Control Requirements for MSFC Space Flight Hardware.

What is EEE in RoHS?

RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products (known as EEE).

What is the current EU RoHS directive?

RoHS is the EU directive that regulates the ‘Restriction of Hazardous Substances’ in electrical and electronic equipment. Directive 2011/65/EU (“RoHS 2”) is the current version of the RoHS directive, that replaced the initial Directive 2002/95/EC (“RoHS 1”).

Are connectors considered EEE parts?

Examples of electrical parts include resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and connectors. Electronic parts include active devices, such as monolithic microcircuits, hybrid microcircuits, diodes, and transistors.

Is my product EEE?

Electrical or electronic versions of standard products such as electric toothbrushes and electric suitcases are EEE products. Products that are not connected to a mains supply may still be EEE . They can be wind-up, battery-powered and solar-powered products.

Is the product classified as EEE?

Electrical or electronic versions of standard products such as electric toothbrushes and electric suitcases are EEE products. They can be wind-up, battery-powered and solar-powered products. Where a product has several functions and only one needs an electrical current, the product may still be EEE .

Is RoHS only for electronics?

6. Does RoHS apply to products other than electronics? Technically, no, but the manufacturing processes of products for sale in the EU must comply with the EU’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Directive.

What is Upscreening?

Upscreening (sometimes written up-screening) a commercial or industrial part to a higher specification or indeed screening a military temperature grade part to Mil-Std-883 M5004 offers a viable, cost effective, sustainable solution.

When did EEE become illegal in the EU?

Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains hazardous substances. Since 2003, EU laws have restricted the use of these hazardous substances.

How is the RoHS Directive related to EEE?

It does this by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in EEE that can be substituted by safer alternatives. These restricted substances include heavy metals, flame retardants or plasticizers. The Directive promotes the recyclability of EEE, as EEE and its components that have become waste contain fewer hazardous substances.
