WTO TBT notification opened comment period on draft EU delegated directive renewing RoHS Annex III lead alloy exemptions (steel, aluminium, copper)

A WTO TBT notification indicates the EU notified a draft Commission Delegated Directive proposing renewal/continuation of RoHS Annex III exemptions for lead as an alloying element in steel, aluminium, and copper. The notification includes a formal public comment deadline. Compliance teams relying on these lead-alloy exemptions should monitor the final delegated directive publication and confirm any revised scope/conditions/validity dates once adopted.
