applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates added to the text: 1961-12-10, 2012-11-19, 2013-10-09, 2017-10-09
Sources disagree about what is listed, not about the text — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
An additional Official Journal reference (OJ L 326, 29.12.1969, p. 36) has been added to the list of citations at the top of the Annex.
In entry 23, paragraph 1, the list of plastic materials covered by the cadmium restriction has been shortened, dropping the closing items covering high-density polyethylene (HDPE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) that appeared in the earlier text, and the introductory wording changed from referring to mixtures and articles produced from such polymers generally to referring to the polymers listed.
A new subparagraph has been inserted at the end of entry 23, paragraph 1, stating that by 19 November 2012 the Commission shall ask the European Chemicals Agency to prepare a dossier under Annex XV to assess whether cadmium use in plastic materials not listed in the first subparagraph should be restricted; the remainder of the text is truncated beyond this point in both versions shown.
