EU Committee Votes to Further Assess Substances in RoHS Directive

摘要

Some substances, including halogenated flame retardants and PVC, should undergo further assessments for safe use in electrical and electronic equipment, said the European Parliament Environment Committee in a June 2 vote.rnThe list of banned substances in the RoHS Directive should apply to all such equipment, unless specifically excluded, the committee said, and one such exclusion could be for renewable energy generation.rnThe committee approved its legislative report on the proposed recast of the Directive, and European Parliament Members called for further evaluation of a number of substances not currently restricted.
