autonomous regulatory framework, with:<\/p><ul><li>defined scope of application<\/li><li>specific obligations<\/li><li>structured conformity procedures<\/li><\/ul><p>Over time, the scope of application has been extended to include, except for exclusions, all EEE listed in Annex I.<\/p><p>Category 11 (open scope) has also been introduced, relating to equipment not covered by the previous categories.<\/p><p> <\/p><h3>EEE Categories Regulated by RoHS<\/h3><ul><li>Large household appliances<\/li><li>Small household appliances<\/li><li>IT and telecommunications equipment<\/li><li>Consumer
