EU Regulation 2017/852 on Mercury and the UK Control of Mercury (Enforcement) Regulations (2017) - Article 10

Despite the ongoing BREXIT negotiations, the UK must comply with this EU Regulation. There are slightly differing timelines in relation to four of the Article 10 requirements relevant to dental professionals and affecting the clinical use and disposal of amalgam, but some aspects have already come into effect as of 01 January 2018
