Background
Stakeholder consultation on an exemption request from the substance restrictions in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS Directive),An online stakeholder consultation starts 21 August 2015 and will run for eight weeks until 16 October 2015. It covers requests which were submitted related to twenty nine exemptions listed in Annex III of the Directive

CCIC-SETSuggestion
RoHS 2.0 exemption have great influence on EEE related industry，Stakeholder consultation conclusion will have a direct impact on whether the exemption will continue to take effect in the future, The exact information later will poste on the EU website, then CCIC-SET will release the relevant information. Enterprises need to catch the RoHS exemption most update information, carry out supply chain survey. So as to a timely response once the regulations come in force.
