# European Commission publishes updated RoHS exemptions tracker (“Exemptions list: validity and rolling plan” – Feb 2026)

EU RoHS (Directive 2011/65/EU)  
European Commission (DG Environment)  
Announced  
Feb 1, 2026

## Description

The European Commission published an updated consolidated RoHS exemptions tracking file (“Exemptions list: validity and rolling plan” – February 2026). This tracker is used to monitor Annex III/IV exemption validity/expiry dates and the Commission’s rolling plan for evaluation and decisions, supporting compliance planning for upcoming exemption expirations and renewal timelines. It is not itself a delegated directive amending Annex III/IV, but it is an official planning/monitoring update that compliance teams use to track anticipated exemption changes.
