The May 1, 2011 the modified project document on WEEE and RoHS promulgated in India as the "e-Waste (management and handling) rules 2011" by the Indian Government in New Delhi, and which will enter into force on 1 may 2012. These rules apply to everyone in the chain of supply and use, by producers of EEE dismantlers. As was expected, there is a remarkable similarity with the EU WEEE and RoHS legislation. It is understood that such legislation is promoted by Non-governmental organizations and some manufacturers that have "green policies" that limit the majority of substances already mentioned.
Reducing the use of hazardous substances (Rohs) in electrical and electronic equipment
All manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment are listed in Schedule I shall ensure that new electrical and electronic equipment do not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDES):
Provided that a maximum concentration of 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls or polybrominated diphenyl ethers and 0.01% by weight in homogeneous materials for cadmium is allowed.
As with the European RoHS directive, there are 39 exemptions on substance uses listed in Schedule II, however these differ because in some countries the
In addition to the responsibility of Indian manufacturing industry also face regulation responsibilities of demolition and recycling.
Dates applicable or levels are not defined as they are in the EU.Responsibility of manufacturers of electronic waste
In short, producers of electrical and electronic equipment as listed below shall be responsible for the collection of waste generated during production and recycling of electronic waste from the ' end-of-life ' of their product, establishing centres, funding and organize a system to cover the cost of ewaste collection management, providing all details contact consumers to simplify ewaste returnedcreate awareness of hazards during use or disposal (including the affixing of a crossed out wheeled bin Marco litter).
The proposals would require manufacturers and importers to supply only products "RoHS Compliant", to provide written documentation regarding compliance and include all the details on these substances in the product information brochure. This reduction in the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment manufactured or imported must be made within a period of two years from the commencement date of this rule.
