EU – Study for Enterprise Servers and Data Storage

A European Technical Assistance Study for Enterprise Servers and Data Storage has started. The study, which is a follow-up to the Lot 9 preparatory study conducted over the past couple years, will include two stakeholder meetings, the first of which is scheduled for 13th November in Brussels. The Study focuses on existing standards and standards in development that could be leveraged for a regulation in this area:

This study provides the European Commission with technical assistance specifically for enterprise servers and data storage (DG Entr Lot 9). It aims to support tasks stemming from the regulatory process related to the EU Ecodesign Directive and Energy Labelling Directive and their implementing measures, and builds on the findings of the DG Entr Lot 9 Preparatory Study.

The goal is to prepare technical documents related to standardised measurement methods and to harmonised standards.

EU Judgment – SVHC Reporting Required for First Article

SVHC obligations for products imported into Europe have just become significantly more complicated. Manufacturers will need to start tracking and reporting SVHC content in components in their product to comply with today’s European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling,

The ECJ issued its anticipated judgment on the contentious issue of interpretation of ‘article’ within the EU REACH regulation as it relates to SVHC reporting and communication requirements. The changes are captured in the last few paragraph of the “Judgment of the Court (Third Chamber)”:

On those grounds, the Court (Third Chamber) hereby rules:
1. Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 366/2011 of 14 April 2011, must be interpreted as meaning that, for the purposes of application of that provision, it is for the producer to determine whether a substance of very high concern identified in accordance with Article 59(1) of that regulation, as amended, is present in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight of any article it produces and, for the importer of a product made up of more than one article, to determine for each article whether such a substance is present in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight of that article.

2. Article 33 of Regulation No 1907/2006, as amended, must be interpreted as meaning that, for the purposes of application of that provision, it is for the supplier of a product one or more constituent articles of which contain(s) a substance of very high concern identified in accordance with Article 59(1) of that regulation in a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight of that article, to inform the recipient and, on request, the consumer, of the presence of that substance by providing them, as a minimum, with the name of the substance in question.

In developing its ruling, the court did not find a legal basis in the REACH regulation for an article to lose its status as an article when it is assembled into a more complex product.  This “no longer an article” principle had been the basis of ECHA’s guidance for calculating percent SVHC based on the entire weight of the finished imported article. Therefore, the court ruled that all articles must meet the requirements specified in the REACH regulation.

The court ruling confirms the first article interpretatation advocated by France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Austria. The implication being that SVHC reporting and communication obligations associated with an article do not disappear when an article is included as a component in a larger, complex article.  This suggests that manufacturers and importers must assess the SVHC concentrations in each article of a complex product and, in turn, meet the communication, notification and authorisation obligations based on this determination.

UAE – Notifies WTO of RoHS Regulation

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has proposed a RoHS regulation similar to the EU RoHS Directive but with UAE specific certification requirements. The proposed regulation covers the same scope of products as listed in the EU RoHS Directive (Annex I of the proposal) and essentially copies the substance restrictions, exemptions, and definitions. The intention to align with EU RoHS is good news for manufacturers and importers. However, there are a few anomolies in the alignment such as the transition date for the phthalate substance restrictions.  It’s unclear at this time as to whether the anomolies are intentional or unintentional.

Article 5 (Conformity Assessment) in the proposed regulation leverages the methodology provided in the EU RoHS Directive. However, the specifics will still need some additional work given that the UAE doesn’t have all of the necessary background regulations in place.

Article (5)

Conformity Assessment

5.1 Product(s) shall comply with Model A of conformity assessment.

5.2 All products covered by this scheme shall comply with the technical requirements mentioned in clauses 4.1 and 4.2 of this scheme.

5.3 The Manufacturer shall draw up a written Declaration of Conformity for each electrical equipment Model .The Manufacturer Declaration of Conformity shall identify the substances maximum concentration values in annex 2

5.4 The Manufacturer shall submit at least the following technical documents:
A general description of electrical equipment;
A detailed description with conceptual design and manufacturing drawings, including a list of components, materials, sub-assemblies and circuits used in the electrical equipment;
A list of the UAE Standards applied to meet the requirements of the Technical Regulations
Test reports

For technical documentation, the proposed regulation references IEC 50581: 2012; however, this is an EU standard (EN 50581) and not an IEC standard as suggested in the proposal. The IEC is currently working on an International version of EN 50581; it will be numbered IEC 63000 and not 50581.

A section on “Surveillance and Market Monitoring: specifies provisions for enforcement and what may be done in the event of a non-confromity.

US – Court of Appeals Rejects Mandatory Declaration of Conflict Mineral Status

The U.S. Court of Appeals re-confirmed its opinion that the SEC rule requiring companies to declare the conflict minerals sourcing status of their products violates the first amendment. The conflict mineral status refers to “DRC Conflict free” or “not been found to be DRC conflict free”. The SEC had requested the Court to review its original decision from April 2014 in light of was precedents set in other similar court cases.

The Court’s split decision (2-1) suggests that there are differences of opinion on this matter, even within the judicial circles. The court ruled only on the product declaration aspect of the SEC conflict minerals rule; all other provisions remain unaffected.

The April 2014 ruling was the result of legal action taken by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) against the U.S. SEC. NAM was hoping to strike down the entire conflict minerals rule; however, the court upheld all aspects of the rule except the product declaration.

The SEC still has the right to appeal this latest ruling. In the meantime, companies are not required to publicly declare the DRC conflict-free status of their products. However, other implications on organizations that are required to report to the SEC is speculated, but lacks legal certainty. This include that requirement for an independent audit performed on conflict minerals report (CMR).

Taiwan – WTO Notification on Taiwan RoHS Marking Requirements

Taiwan issued on July 3, 2015 a World Trade Organization (WTO) Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) notification providing additional details about Taiwan RoHS requirements. The proposed requirements are to be implemented under the Taiwan “Commodity Inspection Act”. The notification proposes a requirement that certain EEE products must conform with Taiwan BSMI standard CNS 15663 “Guidance to reduction of the chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipments” and in particular, Section 5 “marking of presence”. The TBT notification lists the following products as proposed to be included within scope of the requirements:

  • Automatic data processing machines,
  • printers,
  • photo-copying machines,
  • televisions,
  • monitors, and
  • monitors used in an automatic data processing.

The requirement will include marketing and documentation requirements which have been summarized in the TBT notification as:

The certificate holders/applicants of the commodities shall follow the requirements stipulated in Section 5 “Marking of presence” of CNS 15663 and clearly mark “the presence conditions of the restricted substance” on the body, packages, stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities. For those who utilize website as a means to announce “the presence conditions of the restricted substance” of the commodities shall also clearly mark the website address on the body, packages, stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities.

Before 1 May 2017, the certificate holders shall prepare documents related to the location of the marking, sample of the marking, and the “Declaration of the Presence Condition of the Restricted Substances Marking” to apply for replacing certificate(s) from the BSMI or its branches.

These marking requirements are similar to China RoHS, but not identical. The WTO notification includes the document “Proposal for inspection requirements including marking of the presence conditions of the restricted substance on the legal inspection for 6 kinds of IT/AV products” and the template “Declaration of the Presence Condition of the Restricted Substances Marking” (in Chinese).

The TBT notification indicates that the proposed date of adoption is “to be determined”; although the proposal does indicate a 1 May 2017 date by which certificate holders shall prepare documents with respect to the location of the marking, etc.

The final date for comments to the TBT notification is August 31, 2015.

Nanomaterial reporting notice in Canada

A Canadian mandatory survey Notice, published on July 25, 2015, requires that manufacturers and importers of certain nanomaterials report to Environment Canada. The survey was published as a Section 71 Notice under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). It specifies a legal requirement for entities who meet the conditions specified in the Notice to report the information described in the Notice.

This information gathering approach is coordinated with the reporting requirements being launched within the U.S. The two countries undertook a Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Nanotechnology Initiative starting in 2011 to increase alignment in regulatory approaches for nanomaterials between Canada and the US, so the similarity in approach and timing is not surprising.

Environment Canada described the purpose and objective of the Notice is to:

“… gather information on 206 nanomaterials identified as potentially in commerce in Canada from the primary reference list. The information collected from the Notice will support the development of a list of nanomaterials in commerce in Canada by confirming their commercial status, and subsequent prioritization activities for these substances, which may include risk assessment and risk management activities, if required. This will ensure that future decision making is based on the best available information.”

Manufacturers and importers are required to submit a response to Environment Canada if the conditions specified in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the notice are met. Schedule 1 provides a list of substances that require reporting if they meet the definition of nanoscale as provided in the notice.

For the purposes of the Notice, nanoscale means a size range between 1 to 100 nanometres, inclusive, in any one external dimension, or internal or surface structure.

There are 206 substances listed in Schedule 1. The Schedule 1 substances are shown in the Annex to this post for informative purposes only. Reporting is required if greater than 100kg of a nanoscale substance is manufactured or imported during the 2014 calendar year. The importation of the nanoscale substance is relevant whether it’s imported as in substance form, within a mixture or included in a product. The Notice states: “product” excludes “mixture” and “manufactured item”. Exemptions are provided for a few situations such as in transit through Canada, naturally occuring nanomaterials, incidental production, and some agricultural products,

The deadline for reporting is on February 23, 2016.

There are details and subtleties in the survey Notice; please refer to the Notice for the exact legal wording to assess whether or not you are required to report . The survey notice is available from the Canada Gazette part I.

Contact ECD Compliance. We can provide your organization with timely updates on global environmental regulatory requirements and can assist with the Canadian survey Notice.

The substance list is provided for general reference only. Please refer to the Notice for the official substance list.

IEC 62474 Declarable Substance List updated July 15, 2015

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.
