Study for the Review of the list of Restricted Substances under RoHS 2 - Analysis of Impacts
Description
Analysis of Impacts from a Possible Restriction of Several New Substances under RoHS 2.
According to the RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in EEE has been banned/restricted since 2006. In 2011 the recast of the Directive (RoHS2) came into force. It aims inter alia at specifying the conditions for adapting the RoHS Directive to the technical and scientific progress. This includes adaptation of the list of substances being restricted in EEE (Annex II to the Directive). In particular it aims at a better prevention of risks to human health and the environment, with a particular focus on workers involved in the management of WEEE.
