Does anyone know the status of the Norway version RoHS (PoHS)?
Norway has changed 18 items to 10 items. I am wondering what is status of
10 items.

Hi Alexis

You can tell him, that he should not be worried, unless he has something
to do with piezoelectric devices. If so, he probably could have some
problems in some time (30 months from now).

I have a similar question. I see that Oko is making recommendations, but can we
assume they will be implemented? In the meantime, what do we tell a customer if
they ask what is the current official deadline for #7? Thanks in advance for any
feedback!

Al,
Not really sure of your exact point but..........

IC's are not within the scope of WEEE or RoHS, however if you
manufacture IC's and you want to market them as RoHS compliant then
you'll obviously need to ensure your "ingredients" and so your finished
article meet the requirements. This to me implies some due diligence is
required.

Hi Sudhir,

Congratuation to you!  Would you mind sharing us how did you prepare the
compliance with REACH - make a notification to ECHA or do not use those 15
SVHCs.

Thanks and regards,

Ray

Do we have another group for the discussion of REACH or expend this group to

Hi Sudhir,

Thanks for your sharing information.  The mould proof pouches containing DMF
were the root cause of the ban in Europe.  It causes injury to more than 5,000
users in the UK.  DMF does not only contain in the mould proof pouches but  also
Rust Preventive Oils, tin foil shielding sheet, etc.  We are learning more and
more materials using DMF every day and we have to share it for understanding the
risk in greater depth.

Regards,

Ray

furniture or added to the footwear boxes. It thus evaporated and impregnated the
product, protecting it from moulds. However, it then also affected consumers who
were in contact with the products. DMF penetrated through the clothes onto
consumers’ skin where it caused painful skin contact dermatitis including
itching, irritation, redness, and burns; in some cases, acute respiratory
troubles were reported. The dermatitis was particularly difficult to treat. The
presence of DMF is thus a serious risk.

If CoCl2 is used at a level > 0.1% (weight) in an article, the use of the
substace should be identified.  Cocl2 is sometimes used as a humidy indicator
card or a silica gel desiccant pack   Besides Europe, I understand that
companies in Japan have also prohibited the use of CoCl2.

1. If an item is on the EU REACH SVHC list is it banned to enter EU, or is it only a restricted substance and importer has to pay Waste Management fee?
2. The CoCl2 is used at a level > 0.1% (weight), in all form is in the list and restricted right of way, or only in a certain for for now and in the HIC cards are not in the restricted list?

Hello;

Does anybody know, Cobalt Free Regulation and requirement, are applied
to which countries?

Thank you.
