Preparation and implementation of the R2v3 standard for companies involved in the recycling/reuse of electronic components
We help companies in Denmark, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe prepare for and implement the comprehensive procedures and documents associated with the international R2v3 Standard.
The R2v3 standard is structured around 10 focus areas (Core Requirements), several associated appendices (A-G), and a product definition (REC: R2 Equipment Categorization), which together form the basis for issuing an R2v3 certification that is audited annually:
Core 1: Scope
Core 2: Hierachy of Responsible Management Strategies
Core 3: EH&S Management System (ISO/RIOS)
Core 4: Legal and Other Requirement
Core 5: Tracking Throughout
Core 6: Sorting, Categorizing, Processing
Core 7: Data Security
Core 8: Focus Materials
Core 9: Facility Requirements
Core 10: Transport
Appendices A-G are attached, and depending on which business areas the company wishes to have certified, an audit will include these. NB: Appendix G is only relevant for companies that handle solar cells for recycling.
The goal is to ensure high quality, high data security, and transparency in all processes, thereby ensuring the correct and responsible handling of electronics for reuse and/or recycling. Re-Use First is the starting point.
The standard ensures a mechanism that can manage and communicate the commitment to leadership in operations, security—including data security in particular—and environmental/occupational performance, responsibility for e-waste until final disposal.
The practice of receiving, refurbishing, dismantling, recycling, and reusing electronics carries potential health and environmental risks. R2 also ensures best practices for these challenges.
Start with an online presentation of the R2v3 standard and let’s talk about scope, budget, your ambitions, schedule, etc.
Review meeting at the company
If you find a further process relevant, we will meet at the company (possibly online) with the following agenda.
The audit must be conducted by an auditor appointed and approved by the IAF. Read more here: R2 Certification Bodies – SERI
Trust creates good cases
We ensure a transparent process throughout the entire implementation, regardless of whether you want one or more ISO standards implemented.
Protection Group Denmark develops, designs, and distributes bulletproof and stab-proof vests, bulletproof helmets, trauma plates, and other ballistic equipment.
They have grown significantly in recent years and saw major advantages in obtaining ISO 9001 certification. They chose us to implement their new quality management system and use us to perform internal audits.
