Annex II — Substances scheduled for restrictions on use Protocol bij het Verdrag van 1979 betreffende grensoverschrijdende luchtverontreiniging over lange afstand, inzake persistente organische verontreinigende stoffen

Substances scheduled for restrictions on use

Unless otherwise specified in the present Protocol, this annex shall not apply to the substances listed below when they occur: (i) as contaminants in products; or (ii) in articles manufactured or in use by the implementation date; or (iii) as site-limited chemical intermediates in the manufacture of one or more different substances and are thus chemically transformed. Unless otherwise specified, each obligation below is effective upon the date of entry into force of the Protocol.

Restricted to uses | Conditions

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)a/

a) Photo-resist or anti-reflective coatings for photolithography processes;

b) Photographic coatings applied to films, papers or printing plates;

c) Mist suppressants for nondecorative hard chromium (VI) plating and wetting agents for use in controlled electroplating systems;

d) Hydraulic fluids for aviation;

e) Certain medical devices (such as ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) layers and radio-opaque ETFE production, in vitro diagnostic medical devices, and CCD colour filters). | Parties should take action to eliminate these uses once suitable alternatives are available. No later than 2015 and every four years thereafter, each Party that uses these substances shall report on progress made to eliminate them and submit information on such progress to the Executive Body. Based on these reports, these restricted uses shall be reassessed.

Short-chain chlorinated paraffinsb/

a) Fire retardants in rubber used in conveyor belts in the mining industry;

b) Fire retardants in dam sealants. | Parties should take action to eliminate these uses once suitable alternatives are available. No later than 2015 and every four years thereafter, each Party that uses these substances shall report on progress made to eliminate them and submit information on such progress to the Executive Body. Based on these reports, these restricted uses shall be reassessed.

a/ Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) means substances defined by the molecular formula C8F17SO2X, where X = OH, metal salt, halide, amide or other derivatives including polymers.

b/ Short-chain chlorinated paraffins means chlorinated alkanes with a carbon chain-length of 10 to 13 carbon atoms and the degree of chlorination of more than 48% by weight.
