LightingEurope Statement on RoHS Lamp Exemptions

The attached and published Statement aims to provide an overview of the current status of the RoHS lamp exemptions on the market.

Why is LightingEurope issuing a public statement on RoHS?

LightingEurope staff and members regularly receive requests for clarification regarding the timeline of the RoHS-related lamp phase-outs. Last autumn, LightingEurope issued a public statement concerning the changes to the Mercury Regulation. The organization now aims to shift focus to the upcoming RoHS exemption renewals.

Objectives of the statement:

To emphasize and clarify for the market how RoHS expiry dates are applied
To provide details on the expiration of certain exemptions and outline LightingEurope’s renewal plans
To address the status of lead exemptions alongside mercury exemptions
