EU proposes public consultation NO.20/2008 to revise WEEE

The European Union proposed a public consultation for revising WEEE NO.20/2008. Starting from April 11, 2008, the European Union Executive Committee's Directorate General for the Environment proposed a public consultation for relevant stakeholders on the existing WEEE "Electronic and Electrical Equipment Waste Treatment Act" . The main topics are the following four-point target review of recycling targets: Regeneration rate, reuse and recycling targets Reuse targets of overall equipment Re-examination of each Member State's clear data targets for the implementation of WEEE, including medical equipment. Amendments to the scope of the directive’s control scope (establishing laws to integrate mutual consensus between member states and manufacturers) Coverage of the control scope (other products, components, excluded items, etc.) The scope of control has long been controversial in its implementation, so For further consultation. Producer Responsibility Clauses Waste Management Financial Disposal of Household/Non-Household Waste Responsibilities for Providing Consumer Information and Disposal Equipment Member States are currently focusing on flexible implementation of producer producer responsibility. However, the European Commission is concerned that failure to grant appropriate authority could lead to uneven environmental performance. &nb

The latest progress of the revision of RoHS and WEEE directives No.18/2008

The latest progress of the revision of the RoHS and WEEE directives No. 18/2008 On April 10, 2008, the European Union Technical Adaptation Committee (TAC) held a meeting on the review of the RoHS and WEEE directives in Brussels. The main purpose of this meeting is to inform member states of the latest progress in the review of the two directives, as well as relevant information on the new RoHS exclusion project. The RoHS Committee has published the results of its second stakeholder consultation and issued responses and summaries of each item in the consultation. The committee published a draft decision on seven new exclusionary items and a proposal to remove one old exclusionary item. After discussion, the committee will accept comments from member states before May 9, and will then vote in accordance with procedures. The research related to the new substances will be finalized by Oko Institut before the end of June. The Commission announced the judgment of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) regarding decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca BDE). The European Court of Justice ruled that this exclusionary project should be revoked before June 30, and electronic and electrical products sold in Europe after July 1 must not contain Deca BDE. The WEEE Committee attached a stakeholder consultation questionnaire to the WEEE review materials and stopped collecting questionnaires on June 5. The results are scheduled to be announced in the fall. The Committee reminds Member States that Article 1

REACH SVHC Screening

REACH SVHC screening please check your products According to the Registration, Evaluation, Restriction and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) regulations, substances of very high concern (SVHC) are hazardous substances that need to be controlled in addition to restricted substances (Appendix XVII). They are Category 1 and 2 carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive toxic substances (Cat. 1 and 2 CMR); persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic substances (PBT); highly persistent, bioaccumulative substances (vPvB) or substances of equal concern (e.g. endocrine disrupting substances). Due to the complexity of supply chains and production processes, SVHCs may be inadvertently introduced into a wide variety of consumer products. In order to ensure the competitiveness of products in the market, European companies have begun to require their suppliers to provide the results of testing the SVHC of their products. Authorization In order to encourage the use of safe and environmentally friendly chemicals, some SVHCs have been prioritized in the authorization process. Those SVHCs listed in Annex XIV will no longer be allowed to be sold on the market or imported into Europe after the date is set, unless the company has been authorized. In June 2009, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will publish the authorization list for the first time and will strictly review it every two years. Notification For products containing any SVHC exceeding 0.1% (w/w) and produced or imported in total quantities exceeding 1 metric ton per year, the manufacturer or importer must notify the European Chemistry Council.

關注溫室氣體,多贏共同未來

關注溫室氣體,多贏共同未來 溫室效應 自工業革命以來,人類向大氣中排入的二氧化碳等吸熱性強的溫室氣體逐年增加,大氣的溫室效應也隨之增強(溫室效應,又稱“花房效應”,是大氣保溫效應的俗稱。)。 在地球的氣候長期演變過程中,溫室氣體在氣候變化的早期或地質年代,溫室氣體都是自然而非人為起源的。而隨著人類工業活動的發展,其主要來源包括如下三方面︰一是化石燃料利用排放的CO2等溫室氣體增加大氣中溫室氣體的濃度,溫室效應隨之增強而影響到氣候,這是人類活動造成氣候變暖的主要驅動力;二是農業和工業活動排放的CH4,CO2,N2O,PFC,HFC,SF6等溫室氣體進入大氣后,也透過溫室效應增強氣候變暖;三是土地利用變化導致的溫室氣體源/匯變化和地表反照率變化進一步影響氣候變化,這包括森林砍伐、城市化、植被改變和破壞等。 多數溫室氣體在大氣中留存很久,例如CO2可留存約120年,全氟碳化物生命期約為五萬年;也就是說今天釋放的廢氣,在一個世紀或數百個世紀后才會消失。依據2007年IPCC(The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)評估報告,如果大氣中CO2含

The European Commission proposes a new amendment No.17/2008 to Batteries 2006/66/EC

歐盟委員會針對電池2006/66/EC提出新修正                            No.17/2008 2008年4月17日,歐盟執委會(European Commission)針對2006年公告的2006/66/EC「電池、蓄電池、廢電池及廢蓄電池」中第6(2)條款提出說明。其內容明確地表示:| Conteúdo: 2008年9月26日後,不符合指令的電池無法上架 (placed on the Community market)。 2008年9月26日前上架販售的電池,如不符合指令也毋需下架。 2008/12/EC 稍早在3月19日,歐盟官方公報裡刊登了針對2006/66/EC的增修指令2008/12/EC。其內容並無影響指令執行的重大變更,主要為對2006/66/EC中之部分條文加入更詳細的說明

歐洲聯盟法院裁定RoHS指令應包含禁止使用十溴聯苯醚 No. 13/ 2008

歐洲聯盟法院裁定RoHS指令應包含禁止使用十溴聯苯醚 No. 13/ 2008 2008年4月1日,歐洲聯盟法院(歐洲法院)裁定撤銷歐盟RoHS指令下,可使用十溴聯苯醚 (deca-BDE) 的排外條款。即自2008年7月1日起,販售於歐洲的電子電機產品不得含有十溴聯苯醚。 2005年10月歐洲執委會在RoHS指令修訂版中,將十溴聯苯醚改為排外項目。然而於歐洲議會於2006年1月向歐洲法院提出初步的排外撤銷程序。其理由為歐盟執委會並無職權排除十溴聯苯醚,所以排外動作已經是超出職權的決定。 歐盟執委會的職權為排除沒有更安全的替代物質的特定化學物質的使用,並非基於風險評估來排除特定化學物質。 歐洲法院同意歐洲議會對於歐盟執委會沒有職權排除十溴聯苯醚,所以此排外項目將於2008年6月30日後廢除。

雙酚A(Bisphenol A)

雙酚A可以合成PC(聚碳酸脂)和環氧樹脂,當這些材料碰到高溫液體的時候,雙酚A的釋放量可達正常平時條件時的55倍。 雙酚A的急性毒性較低,對老鼠的口腔半致死量是3250 mg/kg。然而,雙酚A可以干擾人體的內分泌,人們擔心長期微量攝取雙酚A可能導致慢性中毒。 由於公眾對雙酚A的擔心,2008年4月18號,加拿大國民健康部部長Tony Clement宣佈加拿大政府有意禁止含有雙酚A的PC嬰兒瓶的進口、銷售和廣告。從2008年4月18號開始,政府發布了關於此項禁令的60天的公眾評論期,將在今年10月評估是否將此項禁令生效。沃爾瑪宣佈,他們將在加拿大立即停售含有雙酚A的食品容器、嬰兒瓶、水杯、安撫奶嘴等。沃爾瑪將在2009以前,在美國逐漸退出含有雙酚A的嬰兒瓶的銷售。同日,Nalgene也宣佈將停止在其產品中使用雙酚A。 由於公眾對健康的關注,導致了美國相當一部分的零售商停止使用雙酚A。在2005年,Patagonia停止銷售PC瓶,2006年,Whole

The latest developments in EU RoHS──DecaBDE exemption will be cancelled!

您是否調查過產品中的十溴二苯醚?您之前的測試,十溴二苯醚和1~9溴二苯醚的加和是否超過1000ppm?您是否知道,2008年7月1日起,若產品中十溴二苯醚和1~9溴二苯醚的加和超過1000ppm 則不符合歐盟RoHS?請馬上行動進行評估,因為歐盟將于2008年7月1日取消十溴二苯醚的豁免。 2008年4月1日,歐洲法院發布公告,關於在2005/717/EC指令中十溴二苯醚的豁免,歐盟委員會在實施權力時違反了相關規定,故取消RoHS指令中十溴二苯醚的豁免。同時歐洲法院考慮到需要過渡期,允許十溴二苯醚的豁免期可延續至2008年6月30日。 此前,在歐盟委員會透過了RoHS指令2002/95/EC,在附錄中的第10條︰“根據在第7(2)條中提及的程式,歐盟委員會應評價以下方面的應用︰十溴二苯醚...”。隨后對于十溴二苯醚的風險評估是由英國和法蘭西來負責,英國負責它對環境影響的評估,法蘭西負責它對人體健康影響的評估。英國在2004年5月完成了第一份評估報告,2005年8月英國發行了2004版風險評估報告的補遺。 2005年10月13日歐盟委員會公佈了2005/717/EC指令,在附錄的第2條中

歐盟REACH指令,唯一代表之新增詮釋

歐盟REACH指令,唯一代表之新增詮釋 2008年4月14日,歐盟化學總署(ECHA) 於比利時布魯塞爾召開REACH 研討會 (Workshop) – 化學品預註冊和註冊之最後階段。會中歐洲企業總署的Otto Linher說明:被委派進行化學品註冊的非歐盟製造商之唯一代表 (Only Representatives;OR) 將來可為各個製造商分開提交註冊。此項改變是與會成員國進一步交換意見時所得到的結論。 根據以往指令之詮釋,如果某OR為多家非歐盟製造公司之相同物質做唯一代表時,則所有被代表非歐盟製造商之相同物質,數量應被合併計算,並共同提交於同一註冊。但此項作法將會成為歷史。 ECHA也保證REACH-IT系統連同預註冊將於6月1日完成,ECHA也同時宣佈將於五月公告兩份未完成指引文件,內容將涵蓋化學物質安全報告(Chemical Safety Report (CSR)) 以及成品中的物質(Substances in Articles)。 REACH之註冊及預註冊 REACH之預註冊及註冊時間即將於2008年6月1日開始,預註冊時間為期6個月,並於2008年12月1日截

雙酚A致癌性,引發關注

雙酚A致癌性,引發關注 加拿大衛生部近期將正式宣佈雙酚A(Bisphenol A,簡稱BPA)為危害人體健康的有毒物質。加拿大也將創全球首例,成為全世界第一個正式認定BPA對人體有害的國家。BPA是一種有機化合物,常使用於一般消費性產品,可見於塑膠製的嬰兒用品(如奶瓶及奶粉罐的內層)、兒童玩具、水壺或可微波的食品容器中。標榜耐熱的BPA遇到超過100度的高溫,還是有可能釋出毒素。值得注意的是,塑膠奶瓶使用過久,或在強酸、強鹼的高效清潔劑清洗下,更容易溶解出有毒物質。 2007年8月,美國38位科學家在生殖毒物學網站,聯名發表聲明提醒各界重視BPA的危險性。而美國國家衛生研究院「全國毒理學計畫」通過老鼠實驗發現,接觸BPA可能導致乳癌、攝護腺癌、泌尿系統問題、女性性早熟以及行為改變。這份報告也促使一向認為BPA相當安全的美國政府態度扭轉。不過,這項報告仍呼籲各界再做更深入的研究,而其最終報告將於今年夏天公布。 BPA是否列管?環保署納入觀察名單審慎評估 環保署表示,BPA可能隨不同途徑進入飲用水水源,因此除已將BPA列入飲用水汙染物候選名單,建立抽驗機制外,亦將BPA列為毒性化學物質觀察

EU’s Second RoHS Stakeholder Consultation Report

The EU's Second RoHS Stakeholder Consultation Report Last spring, the European Commission set a review topic for the RoHS directive and began a consultation process to encourage relevant stakeholders to provide their opinions. The results of the consultation meeting will serve as the basis for amending the RoHS directive. The second advisory committee started in December 2007 and ended at the end of February 2008. This consultation meeting received a total of 62 replies, including 14 from private companies, 26 from industry organizations in the electronic and electrical industry (mainly from the United States, Japan, and third world countries), and 26 from material manufacturing. 8 letters came from businesses and associations, 2 letters came from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and 6 letters came from EU member states and other countries. This review mainly discusses whether to include medical equipment and monitoring and control instruments into the scope of the RoHS Directive, and whether it is necessary to expand the restricted/banned substances in the RoHS Directive. The consultation results show that almost all relevant stakeholders agree to include medical equipment and monitoring and control equipment under the control of the RoHS Directive. Most industry stakeholders do not believe that there is a need to increase restrictions on the use of substances in other electronic and electrical equipment, because the EU's new chemicals regulation REACH will control substances that are harmful to the environment in electronic and electrical equipment. In contrast, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) expressed support for the expansion of substances restricted by the RoHS Directive and proposed some substances that should be prioritized for inclusion in the list of controls.

EU RoHS directive will control the use of decabromodiphenyl ether

The EU RoHS Directive will control the use of decabromodiphenyl ether. The European Court of Justice announced on April 7, 2008 that the Danish government and the European Parliament jointly challenged the European Commission’s proposal regarding decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE). the verdict. Decabromodiphenyl ether (Deca-BDE) is a flame retardant, mainly used in electronic equipment such as televisions, computers, kitchen appliances, etc. to prevent fire. The European Court of Justice agreed with the proposal of Denmark and the European Parliament to ban the use of decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) in electronic and electrical equipment, which means canceling the original exemption for decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) in the EU RoHS Directive. . Therefore, starting from July 1, 2008, electronic and electrical equipment manufactured and sold in the EU will not be allowed to use such environmentally harmful chemical substances. Attached is the content of the European Court of Justice’s judgment. – Reference source: Danish Ministry of Environment website – Translated by the Plastics Industry Technology Development Center For reference only, please use the original text as the main text.
