Introduction

This section describes how to use the Environmental Calculator Tool. The basic procedure is:

The 5 primary report-possibilities based on the entered product data are:


Reports

Report Example
  • List of materials contained in the product
Example
  • List of the content specified to substance level / elements, including CAS-numbers
Example
  • List of material content, each material further specified to substance level
Example
  • List of substances / elements on lists of banned or restricted substances
Example
  • Calculation of the Energy- and Resource parameters (E- and R-parameter)
Example



The database that provides the basis for this calculator has been extended with a number of new generic datasets for typical electronic components. These datasets reflect the development which has taken place with regards to material composition of electronic components related to the implementation of the RoHS directive. Based on the information available each component has been evaluated in relation to the requirements of the directive.

Data about the chemical content of other electronic components can be found at the websites of several manufacturers and organizations. See Links!

No experience in using the Access software is required to use the Environmental Calculator Tool, though basic 'Excel-skills' are expected.
