A Commission Delegated Directive document (C(2023) 7088 final) in the Commission transparency register proposes adding a RoHS exemption covering cadmium and lead in plastic profiles (recovered rigid PVC) used in certain electrical and electronic windows and doors (referenced as category 11 EEE in the research notes). The draft text referenced in the research indicates an expiry date (reported as 28 May 2028). Compliance teams using recovered PVC profiles should monitor adoption/publication and confirm any concentration limits, conditions, and documentation needs in the final legal text.
