OKI's "COINServ-COSMOS-R/R" upgrades to latest survey format of JGPSSI

OKI has upgraded its "COINServ-COSMOS-R/R" used to track chemical substance in products thus ensuring compliance with RoHS Directive and REACH Regulations. It also makes it compatible with the latest survey format (Ver. 4) released by the Japan Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative (JGPSSI). The new "COSMOS-R/R" is said to allow more accurate and efficient dissemination of information on chemical substances.

The version of "COINServ-COSMOS-R/R" previously sold by OKI to electrical and electronics companies was a RoHS- and REACH-compliant system for managing and controlling information on chemical substances in products and for managing related documents. It supported JGPSSI's survey format Ver. 3 and the JAMP AIS information sheet.

In April 2009, together with industry organizations in Europe and the United States, JGPSSI established survey guidelines for chemical substances occurring in products and released a new Ver. 4 survey format based on those guidelines in July 2009. OKI has upgraded "COINServ-COSMOS-R/R" in response to maintain compliance with the new survey format.

"By supporting JGPSSI's latest survey format (Ver. 4), OKI's new "COINServ-COSMOS-R/R" will ensure reliable response to the conditions specified under the RoHS Directive and facilitate the monitoring of substances to which the REACH Regulations apply and that are likely to occur in electrical and electronics products," says Sei Yano, Senior Vice President at OKI, overseeing IT Solution and Services Business within the group. "This will enable gathering information on chemical substances instantly and the effective dissemination of information throughout the supply chain. This system will also allow companies to respond to Japan's J-Moss, which is subject to JGPSSI's survey, as well as other similar legal frameworks, including China's RoHS and Korea's RoHS."
