<https://go.adherent.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/sweden-flag7-2.jpg>In order to reduce exposure to **hazardous substances contained in electronics** to the general public the Swedish Ministry of Finance has enacted a law to tax certain chemicals in electronics.

The taxed products include:

- Washing machines
- Refrigerators
- Computers
- Mobile phones
- Televisions, etc.

This new law will enter into force on April 1, 2017, and will be gradually widened in order to include a broader range of customer products and hazardous substances.

To find out more about this law or about changes to **regulations effecting electronics** around the world, why not sign up for a [**free 30-day trial of C2P**](http://www.complianceandrisks.com/c2p-signup/), our compliance knowledge management platform?
