Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU: implementation
Seeks views on implementation of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive.
Detail
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive aims to ensure EU Member States apply common restrictions on the levels of 6 hazardous substances that may be present in a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment. It also aims to minimise the end of life environmental impact of that equipment.
The new RoHS Directive has a different scope and obligations on those placing products on the market. This consultation will inform the process of transposing the directive into UK law. It seeks views on:
- implementation policy
- draft regulations
- UK draft guidance notes
