September 3, 2009, the EU Council Secretariat, representatives of Member States to the EU to propose new WEEE Directive RoHS directives and the revised draft text: the new draft covering all electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), unless specifically excluded; new clause 4 provides that

the Committee shall in accordance with paragraph 7 of the given method, listed in Annex IV to consider the list of restricted substances.
First revised edition
On December 3 2008, EU published WEEE directive (2002/96/EC) and RoHS directive (2002/95/EC). This includes:
1 Change of law terms, clearing the range and definitions of directives;
2 Included EC mark and EC declaration;
3 Put medical equipments, control and monitoring equipments into RoHS directive region gradually;
* General purpose medical equipments for testing and monitoring (effective January 1 2014)
* External body detection medical equipment (effective January 1 2016)
* Active implantable medical devices (2020 review for whether include in control range)
* Industrial control equipment (effective January 1 2017)
4 In new appendix III, materials of preference are listed, using REACH regulations.Materials may be included in the control range are following:
* HBCDD
* DEHP
* BBP
* DBP
Second revised edition
After the first revision, a lot of people paid attention to the discussion. After gathering information, EU published the second revision on September 3 2009, extending to all E&E products (except for weapon, military supply and devices that designed that do not fall in to the range of RoHS and not to be sold on relevant market.) The original list is forfeited. The exemption for 20 kinds of medical devices remains the same, and 8 new kinds added.
SIT TEST providing comprehensive testing service
