To Those Who are Interested in: China plans to promulgate a guideline document for the environment-friendly use period (EFUP). The guideline gives several methods for manufacturers to determine the EFUP. Annex A of the guideline recommends EFUP for certain types of products. I list below for your reference (based on the final draft version, the version of "Submit for Approval"):
Communication Equipment Products: Network Communication Equipment – 50 years Cellular Phones – 20 years Telephones – 20 years Computer Industry Products Workstation – 20 years Micro Computers – 10 years Notebook Computers – 10 years Printing Equipment – 10 years Scanners, Projectors – 10 years Digital Cameras – 10 years LCD Displays – 10 years Storage Equipment – 10 years Floppy Disk Drives – 10 years POS Systems – 10 years Others: Light Sources – 10 years Annex B of the guideline lists organizations participated in drawing up this guideline: EMERSON Electric Co.
