Practical aspects of the materials Declaration Process
IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment 2003., 1Co-Authors: Eric Masanet, M.d. Newton, R. AuerAbstract:The current paper describes a materials Declaration study carried out by Apple and presents empirical results on the level of resources required to collect materials Declarations from a diverse supply chain and the potential uncertainty associated with the data that are received. Results for resource requirements show that a substantial amount of resource time was devoted to follow up requests and supplier communications and that large suppliers were generally slower to respond than small suppliers. Results of materials composition testing show that although materials Declaration data are sufficient for demonstrating product compliance, potential uncertainty may diminish their value in other OEM environmental management efforts. These results can prove useful in planning resource requirements and timing for materials Declaration efforts and for assessing the utility of materials Declaration data in an OEM's overall environmental management strategy. The study also confirmed that Apple products are in full compliance with all current environmental regulations.

Product material Declaration program at Intel
Conference Record 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Electronics and the Environment (Cat. No.02CH37273), 2002Co-Authors: S. O'connell, T.a. BradyAbstract:The material composition of electronics products is becoming a vital piece of information in the supply chain as original electronics manufacturers (OEM's) and component suppliers prepare for global initiatives that both restrict the use of certain substances in electronic devices and require their collection and recycling. In February 2001, the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), and its member companies, developed a material Declaration guideline to harmonize the list of chemicals that are of interest throughout the electronics industry. The EIA Material Declaration Guide has been adopted by several companies throughout the industry, however the potential of the Guide has been underutilized. As a key component manufacturer within the industry, Intel has taken steps to develop an internal material Declaration Process to provide its customers with timely and accurate product content data. Intel's material Declaration program is based on the EIA Material Declaration Guide. This paper presents Intel's methodology for managing customer requests on material content data, including procedures for tracking and responding to customer requests, generating material content data via analytical testing and supplier screening, and creating a database of common materials found in Intel components. In addition to meeting its customer's needs, the product material content data will also be used internally to assist in future product design decisions.

P220: Epidemiology of nosocomial infections declared through the newly implemented computer-based infection Declaration system (e-sin) in the hospitals of Paris region.
Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2013Co-Authors: F Westphal, C Giroux, N GaillardAbstract:In order to centralize and simplify the nosocomial infection (NI) Declaration Process in France, the French Ministry of Health has developed a computer-based infection Declaration program that has been implemented nationally in January 2012. This system allows each hospital physician running an Infection Control Unit to declare NI on a dedicated web site. Usefulness of declaring NI is evaluated by the hospital physician according to a number of predefined criteria that are reminded online in the Declaration form (e.g., characteristics of the infecting microorganism, nature of the infectious site, context of acquisition of the NI, associated death, …). Additionally, Declaration of colonization with multidrug-resistant bacteria is recommended.
