Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Entry 18a on mercury gains new paragraphs 5 through 8, adding a placing-on-market prohibition after 10 April 2014 for a list of mercury-containing measuring devices intended for industrial and professional use, including barometers, hygrometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, plethysmograph strain gauges, tensiometers and thermometers, and extending the same prohibition to such devices sold empty but meant to be filled with mercury.
The new text also adds exceptions to that prohibition for certain ongoing epidemiological studies, reference standard use in clinical validation of mercury-free sphygmomanometers, thermometers used for standardised testing until 10 October 2017, and mercury triple point calibration cells, plus a further ban after 10 April 2014 on mercury pycnometers and mercury softening-point metering devices for professional and industrial use, itself subject to exemptions for devices over 50 years old or displayed for cultural and historical purposes.
The rest of Annex XVII shown, including the surrounding entries, remains textually the same between the two versions.

Shall not be placed on the market: (a) in fever thermometers; (b) in other measuring devices intended for sale to the general public (such as manometers, barometers, sphygmomanometers, thermometers other than fever thermometers). 2. The restriction in paragraph 1 shall not apply to measuring devices that were in use in the Community before 3 April 2009. However Member States may restrict or prohibit the placing on the market of such measuring devices. 3. The restriction in paragraph 1(b) shall not apply to: (a) measuring devices more than 50 years old on 3 October 2007; (b) barometers (except barometers within point (a)) until 3 October 2009. 4. By 3 October 2009 the Commission shall carry out a review of the availability of reliable safer alternatives that are technically and economically feasible for mercury containing sphygmomanometers and other measuring devices in healthcare and in other professional and industrial uses. On the basis of this review or as soon as new information on reliable safer alternatives for sphygmomanometers and other measuring devices containing mercury becomes available, the Commission shall, if appropriate, present a legislative proposal to extend the restrictions in paragraph 1 to sphygmomanometers and other measuring devices in healthcare and in other professional and industrial uses, so that mercury in measuring devices is phased out whenever technically and economically feasible. |
