<\/span><\/o:p>RoHS Regulations Adopted and DVD Players with LCD\u2019s Covered<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

On December 29, 2006 the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved California<\/st1:state><\/st1:place> regulations implementing RoHS, and adding DVD players to the list of electronic devices that are presumed to be hazardous wastes when discarded. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

As mandated by the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, as amended, and pursuant to section 25214.10 of the Health and Safety Code, one of these regulations adds section 66260.202 to title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, and became effective January 1, 2007. <\/span>This new section restricts the use of certain heavy metals in “covered electronic devices” (as defined in Public Resources Code, section 42463 (f). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Pursuant to this new regulation, “no person shall sell or offer for sale in <\/span>California<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>, a covered electronic device if the device is prohibited from being sold or offered for sale in the European Union on or after its date of manufacture due to the concentration of one or more heavy metals in the device exceeding its maximum concentration value.” <\/span> This sales prohibition, also known as the California RoHS regulation, applies to all “covered electronic devices” manufactured on or after January 1, 2007.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

The other regulation became effective on December 31, 2006, and adds portable DVD players with liquid crystal display (LCD) screens greater than four inches measured diagonally to the list of electronic devices that are presumed to be hazardous wastes when discarded (California Code of Regulations, title 22, chapter 11, appendix X, subsection (c)). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

As a result of this listing, portable DVD players with liquid crystal display (LCD) screens greater than four inches measured diagonally are “covered electronic devices”, as defined in Public Resources Code, section 42463 (f), and are subject to all provisions of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, as amended. <\/span>Beginning on July 1, 2007, any retailer that sells or offers for sale in California<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>, portable DVD players with liquid crystal display (LCD) screens greater than four inches measured diagonally, is required to collect a recycling fee pursuant to Public Resources Act, sections 42464 et seq. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

As a result of this listing, portable DVD players with liquid crystal display (LCD) screens greater than four inches measured diagonally that are manufactured on or after July 1, 2007 will also become subject to the California RoHS regulation specified in section 66260.202 in title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
