Ta rgeted approach for re fined priorit isation of

high priority substance s

Methodolog y

For subst ances / subst ance grou ps of th e hig hest pri orit y, addit ional infor mat ion shall

be comp iled to all ow a r efine d pr iori tisat ion of sub stances i n t he “ RoHS-Wor king -List ”

accor ding t o t he f ollow ing ap proach.

For all su bstan ces fr om the high est prior ity group s, inform ation shal l be collected from

publi cly a vaila ble sour ces and comp iled int o a ta bulat ion. The tabula tion shou ld i nclud e

th e in form ati on f or each su bstan ce regarding th e following para met ers and topics:

 Sub stance i dent ity (Na me, CAS and EC ident ifiers) ;

 Inf orm ation on th e subst ance classi ficat ions a s coll ected in t he i nven tor y.

 Inform ati on on uses ( i.e. ty pical general uses and applicat ions, an d t ypica l EEE

uses an d ap plicat ions);

 Quan tit ies o f use ( i.e. ty pical use volu mes and EEE use volu mes for the EU and /or

glo bally , depending on availab ility of in formation );

 First indica tion if the use and presence of th e sub stance i n EEE could pote ntia lly

lead to impact s r elate d to Art icle 6( 1). This sh ould be e stim ated based on a sh ort

review of t he m ost recent av ailable REACH docum ent s (Annex XV Dossier , SEAC
