(1) 2011/65/EC RoHS Directive II with subsequent RoHS III updates .

(2) ASTM B449-93 (2015) “Standard Specification for Chromates on Aluminum” has been approved by the U.S. Department of Defense and has replaced MIL-DTL-5541E. The specification does not mention the RoHS Directive and therefore does not distinguish between treatments with hexavalent chromium and those with trivalent chromium according to ASTM standards

(3) MIL-DTL-81706 B “Chemical Conversion Materials for Coating Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys”

(4) ASTM B700−08 (confirmed in 2014) “Standard Specification for Electrodeposited Coatings of Silver for Engineering Use”
