The EU is conducting its first consultation of the year on "new exemption provisions" for the RoHS Directive.

The EU is conducting its first consultation of the year on "new exemption provisions" for the RoHS Directive.

EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS Directive) stipulates that electronic and electrical equipment sold on the market from July 1, 2006, must be free of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Exemptions are listed in the appendices to the RoHS Directive. According to Article 5, paragraph 2 of the RoHS Directive, the European Commission must consult with stakeholders when revising the appendices concerning exemptions; the results of the consultation will also be submitted to the Technical Adaptation Committee of the RoHS Directive for reference.

The European Commission commissioned Oko-Institut to conduct a consultation, assessing industry proposals for existing or new exemptions from the RoHS Directive. The first stakeholders' consultation meeting of the year, held from January 22 to March 19, 2010 (eight weeks), focused on a new exemption requirement. This exemption is described below:

The exemption for cadmium in photoresistors used in analog optocouplers applied in professional audio equipment should be extended to 31 December 2013.

Since this exemption expired on December 31, 2009 (see Directive 2009/443/EC), the operator has resubmitted its application to extend the exemption period.
