2010/122/: Commission Decision of 25 February 2010 amending, for the purposes of adapting to scientific and technical progress, the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for an application of cadmium (notified under document C(2010) 1034) (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(2) It is not yet technically practicable to substitute cadmium in colour-converting II-VI LEDs without seriously deteriorating the performance. Certain materials and components containing cadmium should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. However, research on cadmium-free technology is in progress and substitutes should become available within the next four to five years at the latest.
