EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) 2008 update

18th December 2007

Don’t get too comfortable with your European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) standing, as the directive is set to be adjusted in 2008 to reflect additional substances and changes to exemptions, a recent article reports.

ROHS is currently under a scheduled review as required by Article 6 of the directive. As such, the European Commission is examining its current 29 exemptions, plus an additional 7 requested exemptions; categories 8 and 9 of the directive, which include effects of materials on medical devices and monitoring and control instruments; and some definitions within the directive as to what products are impacted.
