    rohs logoBulletin Summary      

    The European Commission published two decisions in June 2009 to amend and extend the list of exemptions for RoHS (Directive 2002/95/EC). Under Decision 2009/428/EC, the exemption for Lead in RIG Faraday rotators is only granted until December 2009. Decision 2009/443/EC outlines six new exemptions also now granted. A detailed list of exemptions follows below.


    Exemptions for RoHS:  The RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) bans placing on the EU market new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than the permitted levels of Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Chromium VI, PBB and PBDE. Some exemptions are granted that are amended periodically due to technical developments.
