Several ELV Directive exemptions under review for renewal; comment period open for stakeholders
Several critical exemptions under the European Union End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive are under review for possible extension. These exemptions affect electronics and other manufacturers whose products are used in vehicles placed on the EU market.
The European Commission has partnered with the Bio Innovation Service organization to review stakeholder exemption requests and evaluate the scientific and technical progress of the following exemptions:
- 2(c)(ii): Aluminium alloys not included in entry 2(c)(i) with a lead content up to 0.4 % by weight
- 3: Copper alloys containing up to 4 % of lead by weight
- 8(e): Lead in high melting temperature type solders (i.e. lead-based alloys containing 85 % by weight or more lead)
- 8(g)(ii): Lead in solders to complete a viable electrical connection between the semiconductor die and the carrier within integrated circuit flip chip packages where that electrical connection consists of any of the following: (1) a semiconductor technology node of 90 nm or larger; (2) a single die of 300 mm2 or larger in any semiconductor technology node; (3) stacked die packages with dies of 300 mm2 or larger, or silicon interposers of 300mm2 or larger.
Detailed information on the exemption renewal evaluations can be found here.
Stakeholders are invited to provide their input on the exemption renewals until April 18, 2024. Stakeholder input can be provided online here.
