Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2018/740 of 1 March 2018 amending, for the purposes of adapting to scientific and technical progress, Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead as an alloying element in aluminium (Text with EEA relevance. ) · European Union

(6) In case of unintentional presence of lead stemming from lead-bearing aluminium scrap recycling, the impracticability of lead elimination and the lower environmental impact of recycled aluminium justifies granting an exemption until 21 July 2021 for categories 1 to 7 and 10. Regarding lead in aluminium alloys for machining purposes, an exemption for categories 1 to 7 and 10 with the duration of 3 years after the publication of this Directive in the Official Journal of the European Union should be granted to allow the industry to carry out necessary assessments of the performance of lead-free alternatives available on the market and adapt to possible changes. For categories other than categories 1 to 7 and 10, the existing exemption is valid as per the validity periods set out in the second subparagraph of Article 5(2) of Directive 2011/65/EU.
