Rohs Directive

In 2013, the European Union expanded the list of hazardous substances contained in the RoHS Directive. In addition, certain phthalate esters, such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), will be categorized as RoHS-prohibited substances starting from July 2019. Although pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) is a promising analytical method for the screening of phthalate esters, we have developed a novel soft-ionization MS method that is quantitative as well as faster and more convenient for this purpose. The sample was measured three times, after providing the calibration curve using a powdery standard material of SPEX. The data collection time is 5 min, and continuous measurements are completed within 8 min per sample. The mass spectrum was corrected by dividing the intensity by the sample weight. For the coefficient of variation, DBP was 2.9%, BBP was 3.4%, DEHP was 3.6%, and good reproducibility was observed. Precise analyses of phthalate esters using traditional methods can require solvent extraction times of up to 24 h as well as special techniques. Therefore, a screening method that can be easily carried out by anyone within ten minutes is very attractive.

The article surveys current state of the art and challenges in the development of the electrical contact materials in the light of the EU Directive on Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS). The focus was placed on widely used silver-cadmium alloys. According to this directive, as of July 1, 2006, use of six hazardous materials, including cadmium, are restricted for applicable electrical and electronic products intended for the EU market. In contrast, traditionally preferred material for production of electrical contacts is Ag-CdO, due to its outstanding functional properties. These conflicting interests result in present state where RoHS directive has not yet been implemented in its original form and has undergone numerous amendments and exceptions regarding the use of cadmium. Main reason for this seems to be the unrealistic time frame imposed by legislation. Although, significant effort has been put into research and development of alternative materials, there are still cases where adequate replacement materials had not been found. Therefore, importance of synchronicity between legislation and technological progress i.e. communication between legislative administration and industry and academia is brought to light as well as some common issues that may arise with an introduction of new replacement materials or product modification.
