An Update on Mercury Regulation for UV Curing Lamps

09/05/2025 by hailey

Jennifer Heathcote, GEW (EC) Limited Global regulation of mercury contained in conventional UV curing lamps is downright confusing and hard to follow. To make matters worse, fear and frustration are driven by industry prognosticators who claim mercury vapor lamps will be banned from use 1) after the EU RoHS exemption expires February 24, 2027, 2) in 14 US states that have enacted local mercury lamp bans, and 3) in 151 countries that ratified the Minamata Convention on Mercury treaty. Despite increasing pressure to move away from conventional mercury vapor lamps, these lamps continue to be used across a broad range of printing, coating, and converting processes, and new UV systems continue to be commercially promoted, sold, and installed. So, which is it? Are UV curing lamps banned or not banned? How should you respond to customers or management when asked about the regulatory status of UV curing lamps? If you find yourself confused about mercury regulation and worried about whether you will be able to keep your production lines running, then you must attend this webinar. While it is not quite time for the lights to go out on mercury vapor lamps, it is important to arm yourself with accurate information. Attend this webinar, and you will receive the industry’s most comprehensive update on the subject of mercury regulation.
