of articles where the substances are not intended to be released and where the conditions of use do not promote release.
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
outdoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. metal, wooden and plastic construction and building materials) and
indoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment).
This substance can be found in complex articles, with no release intended:
machinery, mechanical appliances and electrical/electronic products (e.g. computers, cameras, lamps, refrigerators, washing machines),
electrical batteries and accumulators and
vehicles.
This substance can be found in products with material based on:
metal (e.g. cutlery, pots, toys, jewellery).
