Description
The European Commission (DG Environment) posted an updated spreadsheet titled “Exemptions list: Validity and rolling plan Feb 2026” (published on the document landing page 31 March 2026). This tracker is a key compliance planning aid for RoHS because it consolidates exemption entries (Annex III/IV) with their validity periods and rolling plan status, helping manufacturers and compliance teams verify current exemption expiry dates, plan renewal submissions, and anticipate phase-outs or decision timelines. This is a guidance/supporting-material update rather than a legal amendment to the RoHS Directive text.
