RoHS Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\nIn general, the Ministry has tried to align the RoHS substance restrictions with the requirements specified in the EU RoHS Directive (2011\/65\/EU), including the substances that are restricted, the thresholds, exemptions, and the requirement to provide technical documentation that conforms to the European standard EN 50581.\u00a0 The RoHS requirements are specified in Chapter V (Rule 16). RoHS exemptions are listed in Schedule II.<\/p>\n
However, there are a few sub-rules which raise questions about additional requirements that could prove challenging, depending on exactly how they are implemented. This includes sub-rule (5) and sub-rule (8):<\/p>\n
(5) Every producer shall provide the detailed information on the constituents of the equipment and their components or consumables or parts or spares along with a declaration of conformance to the Reduction of Hazardous Substances provisions in the product user documentation.<\/em><\/p>\n(8) Every producer while seeking Extended Producer Responsibility \u2013 Authorisation will provide information on the compliance of the provisions of sub-rule (1) of rule 16. This information shall be in terms of self-declaration<\/em><\/p>\nNo additional information is provided on the nature of the “detailed information on the constituents<\/em>” stated in sub-rule (5), making it difficult to judge the impact of this provision.\u00a0 With regard to sub-rule (8), Form-1 specifies that the “information on compliance<\/em>” must be technical documents based on EN 50581.<\/p>\nTo enforce the substance restrictions, sub-rule (9) places responsibility for conducting random sampling of EEE product on the “Central Pollution Control Board”; however, sub-rule (9) also states that the Producer must cover the cost of acquiring a sample product and for conducting the testing. \u00a0The Central Pollution Control Board is also responsible for publishing the methods for sampling and analysis of hazardous substances.<\/p>\n
