## Description

The European Commission (DG ENV) published an updated spreadsheet titled “Exemptions list: Validity and rolling plan – Feb 2026” (published on 31 March 2026). While not a legislative amendment, it is an official operational compliance artifact used to track EU RoHS Annex III/IV exemption validity/expiry dates and the rolling plan for assessments/decisions. Compliance teams can use it to identify upcoming exemption expiries, align redesign and qualification timelines, and monitor renewal/decision pipelines for exemptions relied upon in products placed on the EU market.
