1. Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA), 103 pages, in English - available online at http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/
2. Proposed Control of Certain Mercury-added Products in Singapore, (see attachment) (4 pages, in English)
NEA is proposing to control certain mercury-added products under the Second Schedule of the Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA) . Under the proposed control, the manufacture, import and export of the following mercury-added products will be phased-out by 1 January 2020.
| Mercury-added products | Proposed control measure – the manufacture, import and export of the products listed below will be phased-out | Proposed phase-out date |
| Lamps* | 1 Jan 2020 | |
| Linear fluorescent lamps (LFLs) | LFLs for general lighting purposes: - Triband phosphor <60 watts with a mercury content exceeding 5 mg per lamp | |
| High pressure mercury vapour (HPMV) lamps | HPMV lamps for general lighting purposes | |
| Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) and external electrode fluorescent lamps (EEFLs) | CCFLs and EEFLs for electronic displays: - Short length (≤500mm) with mercury content exceeding 3.5 mg per lamp - Medium length (>500 mm and ≤1500 mm) with mercury content exceeding 5 mg per lamp -Long length (>1500 mm) with mercury content exceeding 13 mg per lamp | |
| Non-electronic measuring devices | ||
| - Barometers - Hygrometers - Manometers - Thermometers* - Sphygmomanometers | The listed non-electronic measuring devices, except non-electronic measuring devices installed in large-scale equipment or those used for high precision measurement, where no suitable mercury-free alternative is available. | |
| Switches and relays | ||
| - | Switches and relays, except very high accuracy capacitance and loss measurement bridges and high frequency radio frequency switches and relays in monitoring and control instruments with a maximum mercury content of 20 mg per bridge, switch or relay. |
* Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) for general lighting purposes ≤30 watts with a mercury content exceeding 5 mg per lamp burner, halophosphate phosphor LFLs ≤40 watts with a mercury content exceeding 10 mg per lamp and mercury clinical thermometers listed under the Convention are already controlled by NEA.
