In Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU the following point 39 is added: ‘39. Lead in micro-channel plates (MCPs) used in equipment where at least one of the following properties is present: (a) a compact size of the detector for electrons or ions, where the space for the detector is limited to a maximum of 3 mm/MCP (detector thickness + space for installation of the MCP), a maximum of 6 mm in total, and an alternative design yielding more space for the detector is scientifically and technically impracticable; (b) a two-dimensional spatial resolution for detecting electrons or ions, where at least one of the following applies: (i) a response time shorter than 25 ns; (ii) a sample detection area larger than 149 mm^(2); (iii) a multiplication factor larger than 1,3 × 10^(3). (c) a response time shorter than 5 ns for detecting electrons or ions; (d) a sample detection area larger than 314 mm^(2) for detecting electrons or ions; (e) a multiplication factor larger than 4,0 × 10^(7). The exemption expires on the following dates: (a) 21 July 2021 for medical devices and monitoring and control instruments; (b) 21 July 2023 for in-vitro diagnostic medical devices; (c) 21 July 2024 for industrial monitoring and control instruments.’
