BRUSSELS -- The Council of the European Union revised the directive on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, extending protection from dangerous chemicals to more electrical appliances, and improving the safety of products such as mobile phones, refrigerators and electronic toys.
First adopted in 2003, the law bans six hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, including lead, mercury and cadmium.The revised act will enter into force shortly after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU and must be transposed into national law within 18 months. - CDEDITED BY MIKE BUETOWCONTACT: Steve Kelley of Reviewed.com, 1-617-848-9008, SKelley@reviewed.com
