Welcome to the website for the evaluation of exemption requests under Directive 2011/65/EU
Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS)
The final report for the Pack 27 (Annexes III and IV) is available here.
Important note: Many exemptions of this pack 27 were reviewed in 2021 and 2022 already. The European Commission (COM) wishes to assess in this current review round whether there are any substantial reasons in line with Art. 5(1)(a) against the adoption of the recommendations from these previous reviews to be applied to EEE of categories 8, 9 and 11. A complete reassessment of the scientific and technological status as to the substitution or elimination of the restricted substances is not part of the review of these exemptions.
