The limits are in the revised Annex of the ELV.
The EU End of Life for Vehicles Directive (2000/53/EC), Annex II, as revised
in decision 2002/525/EC,
To my knowledge there are no limits (yet?) established for the RoHS.

Joe
I've read the RoHS update release on Jan 27, 03, and there's no
mention of acceptable thresholds for the substances targeted by
the ban. As a matter of fact, article 5 mention that such max
allowable concentration might be set in the future.
Could you please specify where the 0.1 % is mentioned? I'd
appreciate it if you specified the text.
Thanks
