The draft of the RoH Directive bans, effective 1 July 2006, certain substances in new electrical and electronic equipment with certain listed exceptions. However, outside the exceptions, no maximum allowable concentration values of the banned substances is listed. Article 5 provides for future amendments to specify such maximum concentration values, but the values do not exist at this time. Thus, it appears that, unless the draft Directive is revised or amended, the maximum allowable concentration values of the banned substances are zero parts per million. Am I reading this correctly?
