DCA's Articles Make China RoHS the "Topic of the Year" -- Attend the Webinar on January 18, 2007
San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) January 10, 2007 -- Design Chain Associates, LLC, the premier product-focused environmental compliance company, is proud to announce that CMP Media's Green SupplyLine website (www.GreenSupplyLine.com), which focuses on tracking environmental requirements around the world for the electronics industry, has named "China RoHS" the Topic of the Year, based on the number of views of all articles posted. The top two articles were both penned by Design Chain Associates, LLC on the topic of China RoHS. Each received over 15,000 views. The number six article, on Korea RoHS, was also written by DCA.
DCA has been tracking and consulting on China RoHS for the past two years. Besides Green SupplyLine, DCA has written about China RoHS in Conformity magazine, EuroAsia Semiconductor magazine, as well as email newsletters by APICS (the Association for Operations Management) and Specialized Technology Resources (www.strus.com), been quoted on the topic in many industry publications, and presented on China RoHS at events held by the National Electronics Distributors Association (NEDA), Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute (SEMICON), IPC/JEDEC, and iNEMI in 2006 alone.

UP Media Group Webinar Division www.pcbshows.com/webinars will produce a broadcast of "China RoHS: Be Compliant by the March 1 Deadline!", a 60-minute Webinar featuring Michael Kirschner, president of Design Chain Associates, LLC and an internationally-recognized expert on China RoHS, on Thursday, January 18, 2007, at 11 am PDT/2 pm EDT. The Webinar will help electronics companies understand and comply with China's RoHS-like regulation when it goes in to force on March 1, 2007.
China's RoHS law (the official English translation of the Chinese law is "Administration on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products") has been frustratingly dynamic since it was first issued in late February 2006. Several major changes and clarifications were made as recently as early December 2006, leaving little time for companies to plan for and address the requirements.
Kirschner's presentation will describe the law, all of the implementation requirements for March 1, 2007, as well as what the March 1, 2007 deadline actually means, since its meaning has recently changed. He will also describe the steps OEMs must take in order to ensure compliance.
UPMG Webinars Event Manager Frances Stewart explains why this Webinar is a must-attend event for electronics industry executives and managers: "With such a short time remaining for companies to comply, it is important to have the most current, clearest information available. Design Chain Associates has shown itself time and again to be the 'go to' service provider for environmental compliance and China RoHS is no different."
Registration for the event, which will include unlimited access for each registrant, a downloadable PDF of the presentation and a Q&A session, costs $119 and is available online at www.pcbshows.com/webinars.

Behind The Success of The China Wholesale Empire
The success of the wholesale industry in China remains one of the biggest mysteries in the commercial realm.

However, it is also universally known that the qualities of the China-made products are very much lower than that of the brand-manufactured products. Yet, people are still opting for the cheaper alternative. But is it because of the price factor alone? What ensures such a success, anyway?
