On March 5, 2020, the Official Journal of the European Union published a number of amendments to Directive 2011/65/EU updating the exemption provisions of RoHS2.0, including the amendments to Annex III of 2011/65/EU including 9,9(a)-I,9(a)-II,41, and Annex IV amending provisions 37,41 and adding exemption clauses 44.
This time, the exemption period is mainly revised, and some provisions refine the categories or uses of exempted products and give different exemption periods accordingly. The new regulations will come into force on the 20th day after their promulgation. Except for the new exemption clause 44 in Annex IV, which will come into effect on 1 September 2020, the other amendments will come into effect on 1 April 2021.
Annex III of the RoHS2.0 Directive is amended as follows:
article | statute | exempt | Scope and date of application |
9 | Amending Directive (EU) 2020/361 | Hexavalent chromium in absorption refrigerators, which acts as a preservative in carbon steel cooling systems, does not exceed 0.75% by weight | Applies to Categories 8, 9 and 11; and expire on the following dates: - July 21, 2021, Categories 8 and 9, except for in vitro diagnostic medical devices and industrial monitoring and control instruments; - July 21, 2023, Class 8 in vitro diagnostic medical devices; - July 21, 2024, Categories 9 and 11 of industrial monitoring and control instruments |
9(a)-I | The cooling system is designed to work wholly or partially with an electric heater with an absorption refrigerator (including small refrigerators) with an average power input of <75W under constant operating conditions, with a hexavalent chromium weight ratio of no more than 0.75% used as a preservative in the cooling system of carbon steel | Applicable to Classes 1-7 and 10 and valid until 5 March 2021 | |
9(a)-II | The weight ratio of hexavalent chromium used as a preservative in carbon steel cooling systems does not exceed 0.75% for absorption refrigerators with an average power input of ≥75W under constant operating conditions - Designed to use electric heaters fully or partially, with an average power input of ≥75W under constant operating conditions - Designed for the complete use of non-electric heaters | Applicable to Classes 1-7 and 10 until 21 July 2021 | |
41 | Amending Directive (EU) 2020/365 | Lead must be installed directly on the crankcase or cylinder of a portable internal combustion engine (classified as SH:1, SH:2, SH:3 in Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council for technical reasons), in the solder and end treatment of electrical and electronic components used in ignition modules and other E/E engine control systems and in the surface treatment of PCBs | Applies to all categories and expires on the following dates: - March 31, 2022, Categories 1 to 7, 10 and 11; - July 21, 2021, Categories 8 and 9, except for in vitro diagnostic medical devices and industrial monitoring and control instruments; - July 21, 2023, Class 8 in vitro diagnostic medical devices; - July 21, 2024, Class 9 industrial monitoring and control instruments |
Annex IV of the RoHS2.0 Directive is amended and added as follows:
article | statute | exempt | Scope and date of application |
37 | Amending Directive (EU) 2020/360 | 37. Platinum black electrodes used for conductivity testing need to meet at least one of the following conditions: (a) for a wide range of tests at concentrations unknown in the laboratory, covering at least one order of magnitude of conductivity (e.g., between 0,1 mS/m and 5 mS/m); (b) For tests of any of the following solutions whose accuracy is required to be +/–1% of the test value of the sample, these tests require the use of highly corrosion-resistant electrodes: (i) solutions with an acidity less than pH 1; (ii) solutions with alkalinity greater than pH 13; (iii) corrosive solutions containing halogen gases; (c) Conductivity tests above 100 mS/m must be performed using a portable device | Valid until 31 December 2025 |
41 | Amending Directive (EU) 2020/366 | Lead as a heat stabilizer in the base material of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in potential, current, conductivity sensors in in vitro diagnostic medical devices used for blood and other body fluids and body gas analysis | Valid until 31 March 2022 |
44 | (EU) 2020/364 | Cadmium in radiation-tolerant camera tubes with a resolution greater than 450 TV scan lines in environments where ionizing radiation is exposed to more than 100 Gy/hour and a total dose of more than 100 kGy | Applicable to Class 9 and valid until 31 March 2027 |
