Difference between IAQG (non profit organisation) and EASA (European Aviation and Safety Agency):
See EASA issued decision ED 2005/01/CF, where was decided to establish internal certification working procedures.
Input from:
• It is not the intent of the Competent Authority (EASA) to issue
approvals to manufacturing firms that perform only sub-contract
work for main manufacturers of products and are consequently
placed under their direct surveillance.

REACH covers the production and use of chemical substances, its 277 pages took seven years to pass. It has
been described as the most complex legislation in the history of E.U. and the most important in 20 years. It is
the strictest law to date regulating chemical substances and will impact industries throughout the world. Since it
came into force in June 2007 REACH requires all chemicals of 1,000 kilograms or more in volume that are
manufactured in or imported into the European Union each year to be tested for health and safety and registered
with a new central European authority – the European Chemicals Agency located in Helsinki, Finland. REACH
also applies to all chemicals that are considered of very high concern to human health or the environment -
regardless of volume.
ROHS: The Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment 2002/95/EC. Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS was adopted in February 2003 by the
European Union. The RoHS directive took effect on 1 July 2006, and is required to be enforced and become law in each
member state. This directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and
electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC
which sets collection, recycling and recovery targets for electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the
problem of huge amounts of toxic waste.
