From 22 July 2014 the scope of the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) directive (EU Directive 2011/65/EU) was extended to cover most medical devices (EEE category 8) and monitoring and control instruments (EEEcategory 9). With some exceptions, EEE in these categories placed on the market from this date will need to comply with RoHS.
