What changed
Annex I, Modified§
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
References to Directive 2011/65/EC in the entries for tetra-, penta-, hexa- and heptabromodiphenyl ether and decaBDE were corrected to Directive 2011/65/EU, and lowercase forms of the substance names replaced some initial-capitalised forms in those entries.
In the decaBDE entry, cross-references to point 2(b)(ii) and point 2 were changed to point 3(b)(ii) and point 3, and the wording on pyrotechnical devices and applications was adjusted to place "only if airbag relevant" in parentheses after seat covers/fabrics and to add "and" before airbags.
The numeral "1" preceding the Hexabromocyclododecane entry heading was removed.
