5月27日，CEFIC，欧洲化学品工业委员会，敦促欧洲议会驳回在RoHS中加入新限制物质的提议：

CEFIC urges Environment Committee not to extend RoHS



No more banned substances, says trade body

27-May-2010

The European Chemical Industry Council has written to members of the European Parliament's Environment Committee urging them to reject proposed amendments that would increase the number of substances prohibited by the EU Directive on the restrction of hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment. It also wants them to reject amendments that would add specific references to nanomaterials and introduce what would in effect be a "candidate list" of substances that would have to be assessed for possible inclusion on the list of banned substances. The Committee is due to vote on all 339 amendments when it meets on 2 June.

CEFIC is asking the Committee's members to reject all amendments that would extend the list of substances, including an amendment that would only add one substance - medium-chain chlorinated paraffins. It also wants no extension of the Directive's scope in relation to the types of equipment it covers.

The trade body opposes amendments that would limit the length of time exemptions to the substance restrictions for specific applciations would apply but supports amendments that would exempt an application from having to seek a RoHS exemption if that substance use was already authorised under REACH.

"It is crucial", says CEFIC, "that the Commission's proposal forsees full alignment with the restriction rules laid down by the REACH Regulation, meaning that a substance can only be restricted if a defined process has been followed and a risk assessment has been conducted."

The proposal to introduce a list of substances (proposed Annex III) whose use poses "unacceptable" health or environmental risks and which should be reviewed for possible inclusion in the list of banned substances (proposed annex IV) should be scrapped, says CEFIC, because it will lead to "unnecessary administrative burdens" when there is already a restriction process under REACH. It adds that the proposed Annex III would "confuse the marketplace globally, potentially leading to de-facto substance restrictions before a legislative process has been followed".

RoHS Voting Recommendations 
31 May 2010 
European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, European Parlament, 2 June 2010
The objective of the EU RoHS Directive is the protection of human health and the environment and, more specifically, contribute to environmentally sound recovery and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment. ChemSec hopes that theses objectives will be reflected in the outcome of the European parliament Environment Committee vote on Wednesday.

Methodology
A methodology for future substance restrictions focusing on waste considerations, in line with the specific aims of the RoHS Directive, is of great importance in the review of the RoHS Directive. A comprehensive methodology is needed for phasing out hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products and phasing out substances that will transform to hazardous substances if the product is incinerated at insufficiently high temperatures at end of life.

A clear methodology will enable industry to predict potential future restrictions and assess new materials and substances and avoid investing in materials that are later identified as hazardous.

ChemSec supports consolidated package III on methodology for future restrictions (consolidated amendment 3a, 3b and 3c).

Annex III & Annex IV
ChemSec advocates for an inclusion of brominated flame retardant and PVC in Annex IV. Our main argument for this is that both brominated flame retardant and PVC form dioxins, some of the most toxic substances ever made by humans, when incinerated at insufficiently high temperatures. A large part of industry has also already replaced these substances due to their environmental and human health properties. The ChemSec Electronics Without Brominated Flame Retardants and PVC - a Market Overview, shows that more than 500 electrical products on the market today are free from brominated flame retardant and PVC today and that many more products could be free from these substances and plastic in the future.

ChemSec supports:
• Consolidated package VII on additional restrictions (consolidated amendments 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f).
Inclusion of brominated and chlorinated flame retardants and CMR-classed* phthalates in Annex IV for RoHS category 3 & 4 (IT and telecommunications equipment & Consumer equipment).

• Consolidated package IV on Annex III (consolidated amendments 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e).
Inclusion of PVC and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCP) in Annex III (If Consolidated package VII falls, Consolidated package IV will include brominated and chlorinated flame retardants and CMR-classed* phthalates in Annex III.

*CMR: Carcinogenic, Mutagenic or toxic to Reproduction category 1A or 1B in accordance with regulation (EC No 1272/2008).

又说原文有非法字符！！！

Chemsec 还做了一个无卤产品市场概览，来说明现在电子产品中是可以不使用卤素阻燃剂和PVC的。这个资料里面列举了很多目前已经达到无卤的电子产品，以及数十家知名电子企业管控要求的网址，非常有用。
