The IEC 62474 online database was updated on July 15, 2015. Version D9.00 of the Declarable Substance List (DSL) and the Reference Substance List (RSL) are now available for use by EEE manufacturers, suppliers, and IT solution providers. The data exchange format (XML schema and developer’s table) is now version X6.01 (this is a minor editorial revision from X6.00).

The International declarable substances list (DSL) was updated to include one of the two SVHCs added to the REACH Candidate List in June (potential use in EEE) and the Mercury thresholds from the Canadian Mercury regulation that comes into effect in November 2015.

Details of the update are provided on the IEC 62474 blog.
