Regulatory Open Forum

Dear Regulatory professionals,

Currently, Switzerland is implementing their own medical device regulation, but could somebody advise us what they are doing in regard to the RoHS regulation?
I suppose they will establish something equivalent but could you let us know the recent situation?

I found an explanation that Swiss already has a regulation which is in line with the RoHS but I could not find the name of that regulation. Could somebody advise us?

The Swiss Ordinance on the Reduction of Risks relating to the Use of Certain Particularly Dangerous Substances, Preparations and Articles (Chemical Risk Reduction Ordinance, ORRChem) SO 814.81 contains the implementation of RoHS 2 in Annex 2.18. This harmonizes Swiss regulation of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment with the EU.
