David,
There's two different directives involved, and two different basis of assessing impact.
SVHCs under REACH are assessed on an article weight basis, whereas RoHS is based on concentration in a homogenous material.
Even if the substances listed below are adopted onto the SVHC candidate list, their use is not banned. If their concentration is >1000 ppm (0.1%), then that SVHC's presence needs to be declared and safe use information provided to customers and consumers. However, unless a SVHC is declared to be restricted under Article 67, then continued use is allowed. Article 67 does allow continued usage provided that conditions of restriction are followed.
By comparison, the EU RoHS exemption in 7c-I can be extended provided that manufacturers/users submit timely reasons why the exemption should be extended. I believe that the 7c-I exemption is valid until September 2014. Regards, Lee Wilmot

Subject: [CN] SVHC Consultation ending October 18th - Various Lead Compounds
Hi,
I wanted to get everyone thought on the proposal to ban some Lead compounds in the current SVHC Consultation ending October 18th?
Used in many type of components under exemption 7c-I
11120-22-2 - Silicic acid, lead salt
1317-36-8 - Lead oxide (lead monoxide)
1314-41-6 - Lead tetroxide (orange lead)
What would this mean to components manufacturers? If this become a SVHC in December, will they need to change their formula to remove exemption 7c-I? Is this a way to accelerate the removal of that exemption in the industry?
What would be the implication of the addition of these substances for the electronic industry?
Thanks!
Best regards!
