Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Paragraph 14 of Schedule 19 (halogenated flame retardants) must be considered to be complied with if—

(a)

the determined value for halogen flame retardants (HFRs) identified in the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012 does not exceed the relevant maximum concentration values defined in Schedule A1 to those Regulationsf1; and

(b)

in the case of other HFRs, the determined value for any homogenous material does not exceed 0.1 per cent by weight of halogen content. Where the determined value for any homogenous material exceeds 0.1 per cent by weight of halogen content, the model may still be considered compliant where documentary checks or any other appropriate, reproducible methods show that the halogen content is not attributable to flame retardant.
