The EU RoHS Directive will regulate the use of decabromodiphenyl ether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On April 7, 2008, the European Court of Justice announced the joint ruling by the Danish government and the European Parliament regarding the European Commission's application concerning decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE). Deca-BDE is a flame retardant primarily used in electronic devices such as televisions, computers, and kitchen appliances for fire protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European Court of Justice upheld the proposal by Denmark and the European Parliament to ban the use of decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) in electrical and electronic equipment, effectively removing the exemption for deca-BDE previously granted in the EU RoHS Directive. Therefore, from July 1, 2008, electrical and electronic equipment manufactured and sold within the EU must not use this environmentally harmful chemical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
