JULY 2023 - ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS
On 11 July 2023, the European Commission published a RoHS amendment1 to include a new exemption under Annex IV. An EU RoHS exemption application for mercury in melt pressure transducers for capillary rheometers at temperatures over 300 °C and pressures over 1000 bar has been granted with a validity period. The Commission concluded it is currently scientifically and technically impracticable to eliminate or substitute this use of mercury in monitoring and control instruments that fall under category 9 of RoHS Annex I.
The Directive will come into effect from 31 July 2023. The detail is listed in Table A below.
Table A. Newly added entry 49 in Annex IV
| Exemption no. | Exemption application | Category and expiry date |
| 49 | Mercury in melt pressure transducers for capillary rheometers at temperatures over 300°C and pressures over 1000 bar |
Applies to category 9 and expires on 31 December 2025 |
