| EC Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment ... (559 words) |
 | The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) aims to minimise the environmental impact of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) by reducing the quantities of four heavy metals and two brominated flame retardants which it may contain. |
 | The RoHS directive draws its scope from the WEEE Directive and applies to categories 1-7 and 10 listed under Annex 1A of the Directive plus electric light bulbs and household luminaires. |
 | The exemptions approved by the TAC in June 2006 were published in the EC Official Journal on 12 October 2006. |
