Hi Chaz, John Woodgate and Lauren Crane provided some good links, but you may be wanting to do some real research on RoHS and need additional information. For example, the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU has been amended to restrict ten substances instead of the original six now. Reading the links provided earlier would not catch that. Also, there are some guidance documents released that would help you on cable labeling requirements, etc. My list below is definitely not all-inclusive, but it will at least get you closer to the information you need in researching the requirements.
RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32011L0065 Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1565389428384&uri=CELEX:32015L0863 This amendment adds the four restricted phthalates which became mandatory on 22 July 2019. Europe attempt to give a plain language update on the RoHS Directive updates: https://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/index_en.htm This page has a link to the below link on the status of exemptions and the expirations. https://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/adaptation_en.htm The key sentence on this page for me is: "A table providing an overview of Annex III and IV exemptions, including their validity status and submitted exemption requests, is available HYPERLINK "https://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/pdf/Exemptions%20list%20-%20validity%20and%20rolling%20plan_7Feb%2019_public.xlsx"here."; This gives a spreadsheet with the current expiration dates. This spreadsheet is the best quick reference I have seen from the EU on the exemptions. Harmonized Standards for RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european-standards/harmonised-standards/restriction-of-hazardous-substances_en RoHS 2 FAQ: https://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/rohs_eee/pdf/faq.pdf Very helpful!!! All inclusive search for delegated directives amending the RoHS directive: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/search.html?textScope1=ti&textScope0=ti&qid=1565389857331&CASE_LAW_SUMMARY=false&DTS_DOM=ALL&type=advanced¬Text1=proposal&CASE_LAW_JURE_SUMMARY=false&lang=en&andText0=Directive%202011/65/EU&SUBDOM_INIT=ALL_ALL&DTS_SUBDOM=ALL_ALL This includes amendments to descriptions of exemptions and expiration dates for exemptions. 126 entries to read. Sorry. Read these only as a last resort or you have difficulty sleeping at night. Hope this helps.

Regretfully a search on Google provides an overabundance of material carrying with it all the concerns of the validity of the information. Would someone please point me to a rock-solid source of information? Thanks!
