Ageus Solutions Launches Plan to Assist with WEEE and RoHS Compliance

Company introduces end-to-end services plan for cost-effective compliance to EU Directives.

Ageus Solutions has announced its launch of a complete, end-to-end green services plan. Ageus, headquartered in Otowa, provides full-service logistical, operational and engineering solutions for addressing
green compliance issues.

By drawing upon years of experience in the electronics industry and by
leveraging its strategic partnerships, Ageus Solutions says it will help
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their contract manufacturers (CMs) rapidly and cost-effectively comply with RoHS and WEEE regulations.

Ageus Solutions Green Services consists of the following:

    -  Green Consulting - Ageus Solutions provides comprehensive consulting
       services for fulfilling European Union Environmental Directives (RoHS
       and WEEE requirements). Ageus Solutions, in conjunction with its
       clients, develops a strategic plan, introduces a WEEE recycling
       strategy, and recommends verification and qualification procedures.

    -  Bill of Material Assessment -- Working with the customer, Ageus
       Solutions determines compliance and qualification specifications,

       gathers the necessary supplier information and conducts a compliance
       analysis of each component in a customer's bill of material. Combined
       with a state-of-the-art compliance database, the customer has
       transparent visibility of the bill of material assessment process and
       related operational metrics.

    -  Qualification and Verification -- Ageus Solutions provides a wide
       range of expertise and services related to qualification,
       verification and reliability testing of components and products.
       
    -  Substitution and design services -- Ageus Solutions' partnership with
       Gain Microwave enables Ageus to provide a range of design services.
       Leveraging this key partnership, Ageus is able to re-design existing
       products utilizing EUED compliant components or to design new versions
       of a product or specific component.

Along with developing and delivering a strategic plan for meeting
required green standards, Ageus - in partnership with its clients - employs parts database to streamline the compliance process. The database centralizes compliance information providing the customer with a range of operational metrics and with a transparent view at all stages of the process.

As an independent, one-stop provider, Ageus Solutions says it offers rapid,
objective and cost-effective expertise in achieving environmental compliance.

"We realize the end goal of environmental compliance is not the data
gathering, nor qualification, nor re-design," says Bruce Calder, president of
Ageus Solutions. "The end goal is putting an environmentally friendly product
on the market. We provide end-to-end services that propel a customer through
environmental compliance. Time to market and cost-efficiency, those are the
keys."
