Where the regulation applies

The regulation restricts hazardous substances in listed electrical and electronic product categories. Review covers inclusion in the list, homogeneous materials and applicable exemptions.

What the regulation covers

Assessment addresses lead, mercury, cadmium and other substances restricted by the current text. Evidence must relate to the specific model’s materials and components, not merely its brand.

Examples of products and facilities

  • refrigerators
  • washing machines
  • computers
  • televisions
  • luminaires
  • power tools

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews component lists, material-supplier declarations and restricted-substance test reports and helps identify the assessment route and prepare the required documentation.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
