歐盟展開第六次RoHS排外項目公開諮詢

歐洲委員會最近展開《限用六大有害物質 (RoHS) 指令》排外項目第六次諮詢工作，公開徵詢業界的意見。業者應於2007年1月10以前將意見郵寄至歐洲委員會，或寄電子郵件至ENV-RoHS@ec.europa.eu。

◎ 諮詢業界意見
歐盟RoHS指令之附件列出許多排外項目，如業者能證明某種物料或零件符合下列條件，則可向歐委會提出申請，免受指令管制：

 技術上或科學上不能消除或取代這些物料或零件，或
 因使用替代品而導致環境、健康或消費者安全的不良影響，超過對環境、健康或消費者安
全的利益。

根據RoHS指令第五條規定，如擬增列排外項目，歐洲委員會應先公開諮詢業界意見，其中包括電子及電器生產商、資源回收商、處理設施營運商、環境組織、雇員與消費者協會等。業界提出的相關意見及建議將轉呈技術採用委員會(TAC)審議，由該委員會投票表決。若排外項目議案獲得TAC表決通過及採納，歐洲委員會必須在歐盟官方公報(Official Journal of the EU)正式公佈委員會決議(Commission Decision)。

◎ 徵詢內容
歐洲委員會徵詢的內容包括：

 現在是否有可行的替代品，其份量是否能符合工業或商業需要？
 現有替代品是否有任何限制規定？
 此類替代品的成本、優點與缺點各為何？
 使用替代品對環境、健康或消費者安全所造成的影響可能弊大於利？
