DIRECTIVE2002/95/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of27January2003
on the restriction of the u of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-nity,and in particular Article95thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of Regions(3),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251of the Treaty in the light of the joint text approved by the Conciliation Committee on8November2002(4),
Whereas:
(1)The disparities between the laws or administrative
measures adopted by the Member States as regards the
restriction of the u of hazardous substances in elec-
trical and electronic equipment could create barriers to
trade and distort competition in the Community and
may thereby have a direct impact on the establishment
and functioning of the internal market.It therefore
appears necessary to approximate the laws of the
Member States in this field and to contribute to the
protection of human health and the environmentally
sound recovery and disposal of waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment.
(2)The European Council at its meeting in Nice on7,8and
9December2000endord the Council Resolution of4
December2000on the precautionary principle.
(3)The Commission Communication of30July1996on
the review of the Community strategy for waste manage-
ment stress the need to reduce the content of hazar-
dous substances in waste and points out the potential
benefits of Community-wide rules limiting the prence
of such substances in products and in production
process.
(4)The Council Resolution of25January1988on a
Community action programme to combat environmental
pollution by cadmium(5)invites the Commission to
pursue without delay the development of specific
measures for such a programme.Human health also has
to be protected and an overall strategy that in particular
restricts the u of cadmium and stimulates rearch into
substitutes should therefore be implemented.The Reso-
lution stress that the u of cadmium should be limited
to cas where suitable and safer alternatives do not
exist.
(5)The available evidence indicates that measures on the
collection,treatment,recycling and disposal of waste
electrical and electronic equipment(WEEE)as t out in
Directive2002/96/EC of27January2003of the
European Parliament and of the Council on waste elec-
trical and electronic equipment(6)are necessary to
reduce the waste management problems linked to the
heavy metals concerned and the flame retardants
concerned.In spite of tho measures,however,signifi-
cant parts of WEEE will continue to be found in the
current disposal routes.Even if WEEE were collected
parately and submitted to recycling process,its
content of mercury,cadmium,lead,chromium VI,PBB
and PBDE would be likely to po risks to health or the
environment.
(6)Taking into account technical and economic feasibility,
the most effective way of ensuring the significant reduc-
tion of risks to health and the environment relating to
tho substances which can achieve the chon level of
protection in the Community is the substitution of tho
substances in electrical and electronic equipment by safe
or safer materials.Restricting the u of the hazardous
substances is likely to enhance the possibilities and
economic profitability of recycling of WEEE and
decrea the negative health impact on workers in recy-
cling plants.
(7)The substances covered by this Directive are scientifically
well rearched and evaluated and have been subject to
different measures both at Community and at national
level.
(8)The measures provided for in this Directive take into
account existing international guidelines and recommen-
dations and are bad on an asssment of available
scientific and technical information.The measures are
necessary to achieve the chon level of protection of

human and animal health and the environment,having
regard to the risks which the abnce of measures would
be likely to create in the Community.The measures
should be kept under review and,if necessary,adjusted
to take account of available technical and scientific infor-
mation.
(9)This Directive should apply without prejudice to
Community legislation on safety and health require-
ments and specific Community waste management legis-
lation,in particular Council Directive91/157/EEC of18
March1991on batteries and accumulators containing
certain dangerous substances(1).
(10)The technical development of electrical and electronic
equipment without heavy metals,PBDE and PBB should
be taken into account.As soon as scientific evidence is
available and taking into account the precautionary prin-
ciple,the prohibition of other hazardous substances and
their substitution by more environmentally friendly alter-
natives which ensure at least the same level of protection
of consumers should be examined.
(11)Exemptions from the substitution requirement should be
permitted if substitution is not possible from the scien-
tific and technical point of view or if the negative envir-
onmental or health impacts caud by substitution are
likely to outweigh the human and environmental bene-
fits of the substitution.Substitution of the hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment should
swf游戏also be carried out in a way so as to be compatible with
the health and safety of urs of electrical and electronic
equipment(EEE).
(12)As product reu,refurbishment and extension of life-
time are beneficial,spare parts need to be available.
(13)The adaptation to scientific and technical progress of the
exemptions from the requirements concerning phasing
out and prohibition of hazardous substances should be
effected by the Commission under a committee proce-
dure.
(14)The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council
