KNOWLEDGE BASE VIDEOS
The next level of R2
SERI has developed more than 40 videos to help facilities – and their customers/suppliers – better understand the requirements in the R2 Standard. These videos provide a good look at what’s under the hood of R2 and what makes it so powerful.
INSIDE E
A behind-the-scenes look at the industry
How do we get to a sustainable world where electronics are properly repaired, reused, and recycled? We go behind the scenes in this video series to show you how it’s done in practice in the industry. SERI’s new video series is intended to show a wide range of stakeholders outside of the industry how processes and activities in the electronics reuse and recycling industry are conducted. Though they will be fairly basic for those who process equipment, they should give viewers who are more removed from the process insight into topics that they might not be familiar with.
AUDITOR COURSES
Advanced learning
The R2v3 Auditor Course is specifically designed for auditors but is a powerful tool for anyone looking to gain a deeper perspective of R2. This course is also open to all including facility managers and personnel who would like to learn more about the records, documentation, and other evidence auditors will expect to see during the audit.
R2v3 AUDITOR COURSE
REQUIRED course for new R2v3 auditors and for consultants who wish to be included in the R2 Consultant Directory on SERI’s website.
OPTIONAL course for facility personnel who would like to learn more about the documentation, records, and evidence that auditors will expect to see during the audit.
PRE-REQUISITE – This is an advanced course that requires a basic understanding of R2 requirements. Prior to the start of the course, participants must complete the assigned PRE-CLASS study and preparation. This includes viewing R2 training videos and completing three quizzes. Time to complete this assignment is typically 4-8 hours, depending on familiarity with the standard and possible language barriers.
