» European Court of Justice Annuls Deca-BDE Exemption
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that flame-retardant decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) will be banned from electrical and electronic equipment from July 1, 2008. The European Commission (EC) had originally granted an exemption for deca-BDE from the list of banned substances under the RoHS Directive. However, the ECJ has ruled that it had procedural errors and annulled the exemption from the RoHS Directive's substance restrictions for deca-BDE in polymeric applications set forth in commission decision that was granted in 2005. All of the Fu-Yao's products are RoHS Directive-compliant and do not include deca-BDE.
» European Commission Will Soon Forbid the Use of Perfluorooctane Sulfonates (PFOS)
PFOS are often used as surfactants. And PFOS have a potential for a long-range environmental damage and therefore fulfill the criteria for being considered as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). So, the European Commission decided that member states are forbidden from using perfluorooctane sulfonates starting from June 27, 2008. Some of the Fu-Yao's products do not have PFOS and will receive certificates now. Welcome to you to inquire with our sales team.
