Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment - Exemption Reviews

Defra requires expert scientific and technical advice and socio-economic analysis expertise to undertake the evaluation of applications for exemptions to the RoHS Regulations. Expertise is also required to appraise EU decisions on applications made to the European Commission before the end of the Transitional Period for which "transitional provisions" are set out in The Hazardous Substances and Packaging (Legislative Functions and Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 which avoid the need for separate applications to be made for those exemption requests to apply in Great Britain.
