EU RoHS exemption clause on mercury will end Release Time:2021-12-31

In December 2021, the European Commission adopted the following 12 delegated acts concerning exemptions for the use of mercury in lamps.


In December 2021, the European Commission adopted the following 12 delegated acts concerning exemptions for the use of mercury in lamps. The bill will terminate a series of existing exemptions for the use of mercury in lamps. The bill will be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council. Both co-legislators have two months to either accept or reject the acts - a process which can be extended by a further two months, if needed. The committee will give relevant enterprises a transition period of 12 months and 18 months to adapt to the new rules according to the specific circumstances. For some industrial or medical special-purpose lamps, the relevant exemptions are still valid because there are not enough reliable mercury-free alternatives.


The mercury exemption clauses in Appendix III involved in the 12 authorization bills are as follows:


(1) 1 (a)-(e) - compact fluorescent lamps for general purposes

(2) 1(f) - compact fluorescent lamps for special purposes

(3) 1(g) - compact fluorescent lamps for general purposes with a lifetime equal/above 20 000

(4) 2(a) (1)-(5) - linear fluorescent lamps for general lighting purposes

(5) 2(b)(3) - linear tri-band phosphor lamps

(6) 2(b)(4) - fluorescent lamps for other general lighting and special purposes

(7) 3(a)-(c) - cold cathode fluorescent lamps and external electrode fluorescent lamps for special purposes

(8) 4 (a) - other low pressure discharge lamps

(9) 4(b) - high pressure sodium (vapour) lamps with improved colour rendering index

(10)  4(c) I-III - other high pressure sodium lamps for general lighting purposes

(11)  4 (e) - metal halide lamps

(12)  4 (f) - other discharge lamps for special purposes

  

AGC Note: The EU RoHS exemption clauses and exemption time will be constantly updated. The exemption is not permanent. Companies should pay attention to regulatory information in time to ensure product compliance.
