The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology has submitted a proposal that would impose liability on associations of manufacturers and importers to report on the fulfilment of recycling targets within concept of extended producer responsibility (EPR). Currently, only importers and manufacturers of products subject to EPR are required to submit such reports.
Draft Decision was published on 30 June 2017 that aims to adopt the program for developing interstate standards that containing rules and methods for tests, research and measurements (including sample taking rules) necessary for the implementation of the requirements of the EAEU Technical Regulation on Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (TR EAEU 037/2016).
The revised Ukrainian Technical Regulation on the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment enters into force on 22 September 2017. It is therefore important for all EEE manufacturers and importers to ensure that they are fully ready to comply with the new requirements imposed by the "Ukrainian RoHS". The revised Ukrainian RoHS was developed in line with the EU RoHS recast provisions subject to certain deviations.
Transitional period
According to the recent clarification published by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology, it is the manufacturer (importer) that sells to the end user products the use or consumption of which result in waste generation that is responsible to achieve the recycling targets.
The proposed draft Decree would add several types of products and packaging to the list of products and packaging subject to the extended producer responsibility (EPR). In particular, draft Decree would add the following types of products and packaging to the list:
As of 27 June 2018 manufacturers and importers of heating radiators, heating convectors are required to perform certification of such radiators and convectors.
As of 27 December 2018 manufacturers and importers of heating insulation materials and construction mixtures and solutions are required to issue a declaration of conformity for their products.
Starting from 1 April 2018 all manufacturers and importers of radio equipment in Ukraine are required to comply with the adopted Technical Regulation (TR) on the safety of radio electronic equipment, subject to the set transitional period. The adopted TR is in line with the European Directive 2014/53/EU relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment.
As of 14 December 2017 manufacturers and importers of tumble dryers are required to comply with the adopted Technical Regulation (TR).
As of 14 December 2017 manufacturers and importers of vacuum cleaners have to ensure such vacuum cleaners have energy labels before being placed on the Ukrainian market, according to the adopted Technical Regulation on Energy Efficiency of Vacuum Cleaners (TR).
On 24 May 2017 Decree No. 360 of the Cabinet of Ministers approved Technical Regulation (TR) on energy labelling of air conditioners.
The TR has been drafted on the basis of the EU Regulation 626/2011 which implements EU Directive 2010/30/EU on labelling for energy-related products.
