Directive RoHS de l'UE
January 31, 2017 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.
No Decision Expected on RoHS-2 Exemption Renewals Before Fall 2017
No Resolution on Outstanding RoHS-2 Exemption Renewal Requests
According to IPC, the European Commission met in December to discuss outstanding RoHS-2 exemption renewal requests and it was determined that no resolution will be announced before Fall of this year.
Many of the most commonly used exemptions applicable to product categories 1-7 and 10 of the EU RoHS-2 Directive were set to expire on July 21, 2016. However, a large number of renewal applications for exemptions were submitted to the European Commission. Under the RoHS-2 Directive, exemptions remain in effect until a decision is made on renewal applications that have been submitted.
The European Commission has previously stated that their anticipated time frame to make a decision on each exemption extension is 18-24 months from the application date. Applications for exemption renewals were submitted between October 2014 and January 2015, therefor a decision was expected by January 2017. The latest news is that no such decisions will be announced before Fall 2017.
A list of pending exemption renewal requests and their statuses can be found here.
