European Commission posted updated RoHS exemptions tracker (“Exemptions list: Validity and rolling plan – Feb 2026”)

The European Commission published a refreshed operational tracking spreadsheet for EU RoHS Annex III/IV exemptions (“RoHS 2 exemptions – Validity and rolling plan”, February 2026 version). While not itself a legal act, the tracker is an authoritative Commission-maintained reference used by compliance teams to monitor exemption validity periods, upcoming expirations, and renewal pipeline status (e.g., exemptions marked as requested for renewal). This update can trigger internal compliance actions such as BOM exemption mapping updates, redesign/sourcing plans for exemptions nearing expiry, and verification that renewal applications were submitted in time to maintain continuity under RoHS renewal rules.
