RoHS mercury exemption 2(b)(3) - linear tri-band phosphor lamps.RoHS mercury exemption 2(a) (1)-(5) - linear fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes.RoHS mercury exemption 1(g) - compact fluorescent lamps for general purposes with a lifetime equal/above 20 000.RoHS mercury exemption 1(f) - compact fluorescent lamps for special purposes.RoHS mercury exemption 1 (a)-(e) – compact fluorescent lamps for general purposes.Both co-legislators have two months to either accept or reject the acts – a process which can be extended by a further two months, if needed. In December 2021, the European Commission adopted the following 12 delegated acts concerning exemptions for the use of mercury in lamps. The acts will be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council. Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 of 31 March 2015.In 2017, the Commission adopted a legislative proposal adjusting the scope of the RoHS Directive.ĭelegated Directives amending RoHS Annexes The RoHS Directive currently restricts the use of ten substances: lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).Īll products with an electrical and electronic component, unless specifically excluded, have to comply with these restrictions. In parallel, the WEEE Directive promotes the collection and recycling of such equipment. To address such challenges, EU laws restrict the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment through the RoHS Directive. During the use, collection, treatment and disposal of such waste, products may release harmful (hazardous) substances such as lead, mercury and cadmium, which can cause major environmental and health problems. The rise in the production and use of electrical and electronic products, such as mobile phones, computers and kitchen appliances, has resulted in an increasing volume of electrical and electronic waste. Since 2003, EU laws have restricted the use of these hazardous substances. It is now one of the fastest growing waste streams.Įlectrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains hazardous substances.
