EIATRACK Matrix - USA Restricted Substance Laws |
The matrix summarizing enacted legislation covering restricted substances such as brominated flame retardants and mercury has been updated. In addition to providing a summary of the legislation in question, the matrix includes information regarding the legislation’s scope and effective date(s), as well as whether it contains RoHS-like provisions.
Since October 2009, Wisconsin passed legislation prohibiting the sale of certain products containing mercury, including thermostats and switches. This legislation authorizes a manufacturer or user of covered mercury-added products to petition the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for an exemption in limited circumstances.
Future versions of this matrix will incorporate newly enacted state and federal legislation covering restricted substances. Detailed analysis of these enacted laws will also be provided on EIATRACK under that state’s Restricted Substances page.
