EU revises ELV (Extinction of Vehicles Directive) exclusion items NO.33/2008

  • 2008-09-25

The European Commission published Directive 2008/689/EC, decided on 1 August 2008, in the Official Journal of the European Union on 23 August 2008. This Directive amends Annex II to the ELV (End-of-Life Vehicles) Directive 2000/53/EC. The Annex is an exclusion list for Article 4(2)(a) of the ELV Directive, and this amendment entered into force on 26 August 2008.

Revisions
To adapt to technological advancements, the European Commission has revised Annex II five times since 2002. The most recent revision was in September 2005 (2005/673/EC), which primarily focused on discussing expiring exclusionary programs to determine their extension. The guidelines for this revision are as follows:

Most exclusion programs expired in July 2008. For heavy metals whose use can be avoided or have alternatives due to technological advancements, the exclusion period will not be extended.
Heavy metals that cannot be avoided or for which there are still no alternatives will remain excluded. The European Commission will periodically review this exclusion list and allow sufficient time for their elimination in the future.
Directive 2005/438/EC permits the installation of vehicle parts manufactured after July 1, 2003, into vehicles manufactured before July 1, 2003 (i.e., for safety reasons, vehicles manufactured before July 1, 2003, can only be repaired using original parts (i.e., parts containing heavy metals). In this specific case, parts that do not meet the above exclusion criteria may still be used).

ELV directive
The European Union officially announced the ELV (Extinction of Vehicles) Directive on October 21, 2000. Member States were required to enact domestic legislation in accordance with this directive by April 21, 2002, and ensure that vehicles entering the market from July 1, 2003, contained no more than the prescribed maximum concentrations of four heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium) in materials and parts. For homogeneous materials, the maximum concentration of lead, hexavalent chromium, and mercury was limited to 0.1% by weight; the maximum concentration of cadmium was limited to 0.01% by weight.
