What is the difference between directive 2002/95(RoHS1) and 2011/65(RosH2)

Q1.2 What is the difference between Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS 1) and Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2)?
There are key differences between RoHS 1 and RoHS 2 in the following areas:
1. Scope
*a gradual extension of the requirements to all electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), cables and spare parts with a view to full compliance (except some exclusions4 that are explicitly stated in Article 2(4)) by 22nd July 2019;
* a clarification of important definitions (Article 3);
* provision for a review of the scope no later than July 2014
2. Restriction of new substances
* a methodology for the assessment of new hazardous substances in EEE with a view to restriction mainly based on waste-related criteria;
*a review of the list of restricted substances carried out by the Commission by July 2014, and periodically thereafter;
* an opportunity for Member States to propose new substance restrictions;
3. Exemptions:
* clearer and more transparent rules for granting, renewing or deleting exemptions;
*obligation of manufacturers to apply for exemptions and to carry out the necessary assessment
4. Coherence with other EU-Legislation:
*New Legislative Framework (CE marking and Declaration of Conformity); and
* Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
