3 EUROPEAN END OF LIFE VEHICLES DIRECTIVE 2000/53 EC. MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS. 4.2 Member States shall ensure that materials and components of vehicles put on the market after 1 July 2003 do not contain lead, hexavalent chromium, cadmium and mercury other than in cases listed in Annex II under the conditions specified therein; Page 3

4 EUROPEAN END OF LIFE VEHICLES DIRECTIVE 2000/53 EC. ARTICLE 4.2 MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS. 4.2 (b) the Commission shall on a regular basis, according to technical and scientific progress, amend Annex II, in order to: (i) as necessary, establish maximum concentration values up to which the existence of the substances referred to in subparagraph (a) in specific materials and components of vehicles shall be tolerated; (ii) exempt certain materials and components of vehicles from the provisions of subparagraph (a) if the use of these substances is unavoidable; (iii) delete materials and components of vehicles from Annex II if the use of these substances is avoidable; Page 4

Ares(2017) /03/2017 Draft Amendment Exemption 5: Pb and Pb compounds in batteries Split in 5(a) and 5(b) Exemption 5(a): Lead in batteries in high voltage systems (2a) that are used only for propulsion in M1 and N1 vehicles Exemption 5(b): Lead in batteries for battery applications not included in entry 5(a) expires for vehicles type approved after 1 January 2019 review 2021 (2a) Systems that have a voltage of >75V DC as defined in Directive 2006/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (OJ L 374, , p. 10).

9 VIEW TO ROHS. MANY ENTRIES UNDER REVISION - EXAMPLES. Exemption EU ELV EU RoHS Pb in steel (0,35%) 1(a) 6(a) Pb in Al (0,4%) 2(c) 6(b) Pb in Cu (4%) 3 6(c) Pb in high melting solder 8(e) 7(a) Pb in glass /ceramic (partially) 10(a) 7(c)-I Pb in flip chip IC 8(g) 15 Similar exemptions, but Different timing for Due dates / no due date revision Different revision process and different departments at authorities Same parts go to different applications with different waste streams Within current RoHS revisions consultant suggested split of exemptions and early reviews. The affected industry asks to extend review dates and rejects splitting. Page 9

10 CONCLUSIONS. The draft for the 8 th annex II revision sets again review dates for several entries. As in previous reviews there is a further split of existing exemptions. Without contributions based on solid and convincing technical arguments, the exemptions will end. Careful creation of material data sheets helps to identify the need of exemptions. The support of suppliers, associations, OEMs in the industry expert groups heavy metals is very appreciated and essential to obtain exemptions. Thank you to all for their contribution. For being prepared towards the next revisions the work starts now. The joint associations industry expert groups are open to welcome new members. Page 10
