Abstract
The electronics industry is being impacted by changing chemical regulations in Europe and North America. The implications of programs, such as, EU Risk Assessment under Regulation (EEC) 797/93, REACH, and RoHS affect a broad range of materials, including flame retardants. Industry is responding to the challenge to ensure that flame retardants are sustainable. Environmental criteria alone are not sufficient to guarantee availability of flame retardants for the future.
