Oko RoHS review delayed (Directive Decoder)

Oko RoHS review delayed

Oko Institut were originally aiming to publish their much awaited findings on the review of RoHS scope by June 4^th.

Some 6 weeks late I thought I would contact them for an update.

A spokesperson told me that they are discussing the report with the European Commission and some open points still need to be clarified. They hope to publish the final report within the "next weeks" I was told.

Not before your summer holidays then!
