VDE Online-Seminare

Am 18. Juli 2024 wurde die Ökodesign-Richtline 2009/125/EG durch die neue EU-Verordnung für das Ökodesign nachhaltiger Produkte (ESPR) ersetzt. Neben dem Thema Energieeffizienz werden in dieser Verordnung vor allem Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte behandelt. Um die Nachhaltigkeit von elektrischen Produkten bewerten zu können, werden 3 Themenfelder vorgestellt:

Reparierbarkeit
Eine Reparatur trägt zum nachhaltigen Konsum von elektrischen Produkten bei. Damit ein elektrisches Produkt einfacher reparieren werden kann, müssen auf Ebene des Produktdesigns bereits wichtige Faktoren berücksichtigt werden. Mithilfe des im VDE entwickelten Bewertungsschemas kann eine einheitliche und quantifizierbare Bewertung der Reparierbarkeit vorgenommen werden.

Recyclingfähigkeit
Die Materialzusammensetzung von elektrischen Produkten ist komplex und unterscheidet sich von Produkt zu Produkt. Damit wertvolle Materialbestandteile rückgewonnen werden können, ist die Kenntnis über die Recyclingfähigkeit des Produktes ausschlaggebend. Es wird die Berechnung der Recyclingfähigkeit vorgestellt, auf Grundlage dessen Verbesserungspotentiale im Produktrecycling aufgezeigt werden können.

Life Cycle Assessment
Der Lebenszyklus (Herstellung, Transport, Nutzung, Entsorgung) von elektrischen Produkten hat Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt, wobei viele unterschiedliche Faktoren eine Rolle spielen. Durch das Life Cycle Assessment können diese Auswirkungen umfassend analysiert werden. Die speziell auf die untersuchten Produkte ausgerichtete Berechnung wird vorgestellt und die Bestimmung des Umweltfußabdruckes der Produkte wird ebenfalls thematisiert.

Hersteller müssen schon sehr lange geforderte Safety-Anforderungen ihrer Produkte im CE-Kennzeichen bestätigen. Dies wird durch die EU auf die (Cyber-)Security ausgeweitet.
Die Übergangszeit für die erste neue Regulierung läuft bereits und wird im August 2025 beendet sein. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt müssen Produkte, die in den Anwendungsbereich fallen, diese Security-Anforderungen erfüllen.
Dazu wurde ein neuer Standard verabschiedet. Das Webinar wird einen Überblick über die geplanten Regulierungen geben und auch die Forderungen des neuen Standards aufzeigen. Ebenso werden mögliche nächste Schritte erläutert, damit sich Hersteller auf die neuen Anforderungen einstellen können.

As part of the VDE event series "Product Compliance viewed from 360", Günter Uhl, Managing Director of ProductIP Germany, will provide an insight into the various labeling requirements for products and also provide updates on future regulations such as the digital product passport, QR code or electronic address.

What is on the packaging, the product or in the operating instructions is easy for everyone to check and is, in a sense, the calling card of a product. The authorities have also investigated that products with incorrect labeling are proven to fail the relevant product requirements for safety, EMC or chemical requirements more often. If you don't want to be the "low hanging fruit" for the authorities, you should be there.

Dr. Ulrich Becker, lawyer at CMS Germany, will also provide information on the legal framework for labeling and other product requirements.

Seit Januar 2024 ist der Data Act in Kraft. Der Data Act gibt Nutzern von IoT-Geräten neue Zugriffsrechte auf Maschinendaten. Er bringt Pflichten sowohl für Produkthersteller als auch für Verkäufer von vernetzten Produkten. Neben einem generellen Überblick über die Systematik der Datenzugangsansprüche möchten wir grundlegende Aspekte der Datenzugangsansprüche näher beleuchten, u.a.: 

• Was sind vernetzte Produkte und verbundene Dienste?
• Welche Daten sind von den Datenzugangsansprüchen erfasst?
• Welche vertraglichen Regelungen sind zukünftig nicht (mehr) erlaubt? 

Die neuen Vorgaben haben vertragliche, technische und strategische Auswirkungen auf Unternehmen, die bis zur Geltung des Data Act ab dem 12.09.2025 umzusetzen sind. Wer mehr wissen will, ist herzlich zu unserem Webinar eingeladen.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme an unserem kostenlosen Online-Seminar.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR - including WEEE/ElektroG, Batt-VO, VerpackG) is a decisive factor for compliant market access.
As a specific "sub-niche" of product compliance, the EPR includes, among other things, (additional) product & packaging requirements, labeling and information obligations, registration obligations, take-back obligations and waste prevention measures. But correct, available and applicable data also play a central role. All of these aspects must be mastered so that products can be offered or placed on the market in a member state.

In this webinar, we will take a close look at the EPR and learn to understand it: from its basic principles, through its dimensions, roles and requirements, to corresponding implementation strategies.

When does a product meet the requirements of RoHS, REACH, POP, and the Battery Ordinance?

A wide range of regulatory requirements regarding chemical product safety must be met when placing electrical products on the market. The person placing the product on the market is responsible for ensuring that the products meet the regulatory requirements and that the production processes and supply chains are monitored. A lot of detailed work has to be done because not all stages of the supply chain always have to meet the standard requirements and additional requirements are regularly added, such as stricter limit values. At the same time, the supervisory authorities are showing increased activity. What tools and methods are available in the field of product testing and what current developments are there?

After a product has been developed and qualified, the technical documentation is created, including labels on the packaging and product. During subsequent production at locations that are often distributed globally, it must be ensured that the product corresponds to the qualified and documented status. Risks arise, particularly when purchasing a commercial product, which must be minimized. The LkSG (Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) creates new requirements for monitoring suppliers in the supply chain. And here, too, we offer solutions in connection with due diligence and documentation obligations through supplier audits.

The entire pre-shipment inspection process is digitized using the VDE Inspection Management System (IMS). Inspections can be conveniently booked and managed online. The status of each process can be viewed continuously in real time.

In the presentation, Daniel Röhrs, Managing Director China, will present various options for production monitoring. Dr. Ulrich Becker, lawyer at CMS Germany, will also provide information on the legal framework for production requirements.

The AI Act will essentially come into force in April 2026 and must be implemented for the applications covered by it by then. This causes many companies to fear that they will face a repeat of the often chaotic situation experienced in 2018 with the GDPR. In this webinar, we will highlight a very important difference: In contrast to the GDPR, the AI Act will have so-called "harmonized standards" that describe a non-binding but legally secure way to comply with the AI Act. We explain the mechanism and give tips on what companies can prepare for today.

A number of different requirements are placed on the placing of electronic and electrical items on the market. The legal minimum requirements are diverse and spread across various horizontal and vertical legal acts.

Not only the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, the Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility or the Directive 2014/53/EU for radio equipment must be observed. The chemical requirements of the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, the REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 and the POP Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 must also be observed. Last but not least, economic operators must also keep the Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in mind before placing the item on the market.

A new addition is Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries, which introduces many new requirements and challenges for companies over a timeline.

Our seminar provides an overview of the diverse (new) requirements and new challenges in the context of electrical items and provides practical advice.

Your speakers are Sebastian Jockusch, Managing Director of fox compliance GmbH and Dr. Ulrich Becker, lawyer at CMS Germany.
