IECQ QC 080000 Hazardous Substance Process Management Systems

IECQ QC 080000 introduces a cost-effective process approach to provide record of compliance with both global hazardous substance control directives and customer-specific requirements. 

What is QC 080000？

QC 080000 hazardous substance process management system (HSPM). It is based on ISO9001, with some special requirements added, such as ISO 13485. It is formulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission to implement the hazardous substance management and control system in the RoHS directive, and achieve the objective of hazardous substance reduction (HSF) with complete, systematic and transparent process management and control, which conforms to the requirements of RoHS directive and WEEE Directive. The harmful substances in electronic appliances refer to Pb、Cd、Hg、Cr6+、PBDE、PBB. The producers must control them from the purchase, production, installation and other links to meet the HSF requirements of users.

Benefits of becoming certified

Third-party certification to QC 080000 can indicate to regulators that a manufacturer’s processes are effectively controlling hazardous substances. It indicates that the organization has processes in place to properly manage product realization specifically for HSF. In addition, third party certification:

  ※ Ensures uninterrupted access to global markets

  ※ Ensures a sustained competitive advantage

  ※ Provides a strong showing of compliance with applicable laws

  ※ Assists in driving business integration and continuity of process control throughout the supply chain
