In response to the UN’s Minamata Convention on Mercury that regulates control of and phase-out timetables for mercury-containing products, the EPA preannounced revisions to the current regulations concerning mercury control. The revisions specify bans and limits on the use of mercury-containing products with the aim of strengthening mercury control in Taiwan.
The EPA pointed out that it is difficult for the human body to eliminate mercury once it enters it via inhalation or ingestion. Mercury may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and stomachaches. After long-term accumulation, there may be damage to the brain, nervous system, and vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. Moreover, mercury is not prone to decompose and bioconcentrates, and as a result was announced as a Class 1 toxic chemical substance in 1991. To keep up with the UN’s Minamata Convention on Mercury, the revisions specify bans and limits on use of mercury-containing products to lower the public’s risk of exposure.
The EPA pointed out that the UN’s Minamata Convention on Mercury, after taking effect on 16 August 2017, regulates common mercury-containing products used in daily life. They include button cell batteries, switches, relays, lighting, fluorescent lights, cosmetics, agrochemical products, and non-electronic instruments such as barometers, hygrometers, manometers, thermometers, and sphygmomanometers. Manufacturing, import, and export bans will take effect in 2020.
Besides these bans, the Convention sets exclusion provisions, such as when switches, relays, and non-electronic testing instruments do not have mercury-free substitutes and are used as calibrators or for reference standards. Certain mercury-containing products with limits set for mercury content are also exempt from the ban. The EPA put exemption clauses in the revisions based on the opinions of enterprises and prior examples in the Convention.
Revisions in the pre-announcements are as follows:
1. Since 1 January 2021, use of mercury will be banned from manufacturing of fluorescent lights in the following categories:
(1) Under 30-watt common-use compact fluorescent lights, with mercury content of over five milligrams in a single bulb.
(2) Less than 60-watt straight-tube common-use fluorescent lights (using three-band fluorescent powders), with mercury content of over five milligrams in a single tube.
(3) Less than 40-watt straight-tube common-use fluorescent lights (using halo-phosphate fluorescent powders), with mercury content of over 10 milligrams in a single tube.
(4) High-pressure common-use mercury-vapor lamps.
(5) Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) and external arc fluorescent lights used in electronic monitoring that are less than 500 millimeters long, with mercury content of over 3.5 milligrams in a single tube.
(6) CCFLs and external arc fluorescent lights used in electronic monitoring that are between 500 to 1,500 millimeters in length, with mercury content of over five milligrams in a single tube.
(7) CCFLs and external arc fluorescent lights used in electronic monitoring that are over 1,500 millimeters long, with mercury content of over 13 milligrams in a single tube.
2. Besides items in the announcements, use of mercury is banned in the following from 1 January 2021.
(1) Manufacturing of batteries
(2) Manufacturing of switches and relays
(3) Manufacturing of the following non-electronic testing instruments:
A. Barometers
B. Hygrometers
C. Manometers
D. Sphygmomanometers
E. Hydrometers
