Features: Currently, EU directives only list the restricted use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). However, many unofficial control lists contain harmful substances that far exceed these six types. In June and July last year, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were detected in export electric tools to Germany, causing a large number of electric tools to be stranded at German customs and inducing significant panic among domestic manufacturers. To help companies fully understand the potential control requirements for harmful substances, this book provides a predictive analysis of toxic and hazardous materials that may be restricted in the future. The book introduces relevant database technologies and ecological design methods, although these technologies and methods are still evolving, their practicality and importance are undeniable. The editors of this book come from various research institutions, RoHS certification agencies, and testing laboratories, as well as administrative departments engaged in related legislation and standardization work. They include international experts with years of experience in data accumulation and research. The book strives to offer the most up-to-date and comprehensive information to readers, making it one of the most professional, practical, and authoritative reference books available in China regarding the EU's WEEE and RoHS directives. Based on the current status of the EU's WEEE and RoHS directives, this book proposes technical measures to help companies understand and recognize EU environmental laws and regulations, improve technical standards, enhance product design and quality, actively participate in international and domestic standardization efforts, and effectively respond to EU environmental directives.
