EU regulations such as the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive set binding conditions for handling regulated substances. Carl Zeiss AG is committed to processes and materials which are harmless for humans and the environment. In the search for opportunities to further improve environmentally friendly manufacturing, the company has discovered TechniData CfP. The SAP-based standard software solution uses a systembased approach to assess the compliance status of products throughout its life cycle from design, manufacturing and delivery. TechniData CfP also provides engineers with compliance information, and standardizes the process of evaluating product compliance status. As a result, Carl Zeiss ensures operational compliance with the new RoHS legislations and is now well positioned to address future compliance requirements.
