Commission reiterates RoHS exemption renewal/transition timing rules on RoHS implementation page

The European Commission’s RoHS implementation page reiterates key procedural guidance relevant to managing RoHS exemptions, including: renewal applications must be submitted no later than 18 months before an exemption expires; typical decision-making timelines (18–24 months); continued validity of an exemption when a timely renewal request is pending; and typical transition periods (12–18 months) when a renewal is rejected. These points impact compliance planning for products relying on Annex III/IV exemptions.
