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

## Description

The European Commission posted an updated RoHS exemptions tracking spreadsheet (“Exemptions list: Validity and rolling plan Feb 2026”) on 31 March 2026, linked from the RoHS Directive implementation pages. While not a legal amendment by itself, this Commission-published tracker is compliance-relevant because it consolidates current exemption validity periods and the Commission’s rolling plan, supporting manufacturers’ planning for exemption renewals/expirations and transition timing under RoHS Annex III/IV processes.
