    EU RoHS

    August 18, 2023 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.

    Two New Exemptions Added to EU RoHS Annex IV

     

    EU-ROHS-ExemptionExemptions for Mercury and Lead added to Annex IV of the EU RoHS Directive

    In July, the European Commission published two new exemptions under the EU RoHS Directive.

    On July 11, the following entry 49 was added to Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU:

    “49: Mercury in melt pressure transducers for capillary rheometers at temperatures over 300 °C and pressures over 1 000 bar. Applies to category 9 and expires on 31 December 2025.”

    And on July 24, the following entry 41a was added to Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU:

    “41a: Lead as a thermal stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used as base material in amperometric, potentiometric and conductometric electrochemical sensors which are used in in vitro diagnostic medical devices for the analysis of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in whole blood. Applies to category 8 and expires on 31 December 2023.”

    Both exemptions are entered into force on the twentieth day following their publications. Details on entry 49 can be found here, and details on entry 41a can be found here.

    Updated EU RoHS Exemptions List available to download

    EU RoHS exemptions have varying expiration dates, and when expiration dates near, many exemptions are renewed with updated expiration dates. With the status and timing of exemption extensions unknown, keeping track of the various expiration dates and current exemptions is a time-consuming task.

    GreenSoft maintains a compiled list of the EU RoHS Exemptions in order to perform EU RoHS Data Services for our customers and to keep our GreenData Manager software up-to-date. We also make this list available online to the public for your convenience and reference.

    Our compiled EU RoHS Exemptions List has been updated to include these two new exemptions. You can download the updated EU RoHS Exemptions List here.
