Where they fall within the specific scope of the regulation, these include, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>electrical household appliances,<\/li>\n<li>computers and electronic equipment,<\/li>\n<li>telecommunications equipment,<\/li>\n<li>office equipment,<\/li>\n<li>electrical and electronic tools,<\/li>\n<li>lighting equipment and light sources,<\/li>\n<li>certain electrical cables and wires,<\/li>\n<li>and other electrical and electronic equipment covered by the Technical Regulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether a specific product falls within the scope of TR EAEU 037\/2016 must be assessed on the basis of its technical characteristics, intended purpose and the scope of the regulation. Not every electrical or electronic component is automatically subject to TR EAEU 037\/2016.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation restricts in particular the following hazardous substances:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lead (Pb),<\/li>\n<li>mercury (Hg),<\/li>\n<li>cadmium (Cd),<\/li>\n<li>hexavalent chromium (Cr VI),<\/li>\n<li>polybrominated biphenyls (PBB),<\/li>\n<li>and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB and PBDE, the maximum permitted concentration is generally 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material; for cadmium, it is generally 0.01% by weight. At the same time, the regulation provides for specific requirements and exemptions for certain applications.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the product and the available supporting documentation, evidence of conformity may be based, among other things, on the following documents and assessments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>material and substance information,<\/li>\n<li>technical evidence provided by the <strong><a class=\"glossaryLink\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.easygost.com\/en\/glossary\/manufacturer\/\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>Manufacturer<\/a><\/strong>,<\/li>\n<li>a <strong><a class=\"glossaryLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easygost.com\/en\/glossary\/supplier-declaration\/\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Supplier Declaration<\/a><\/strong> or other suitable supplier documentation,<\/li>\n<li>test and analysis results,<\/li>\n<li>a <strong><a class=\"glossaryLink\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.easygost.com\/en\/glossary\/test-report\/\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>Test Report<\/a><\/strong> or other relevant test documentation,<\/li>\n<li>and other suitable technical evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Laboratory analyses may be required if the available documentation is insufficient to reliably demonstrate compliance with the substance restrictions.

The applicable declaration scheme and the required evidence depend on the provisions of the Technical Regulation and the specific product configuration.<\/p>\n<p>For many electrical and electronic products, TR EAEU 037\/2016 is not the only applicable Technical Regulation.
