Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2019/171 of 16 November 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 cadmium and its compounds in electrical contacts (Text with EEA relevance.) · European Union

(7) For certain applications covered by the current exemption, a substitution or elimination of cadmium is still scientifically and technically impracticable due to the lack of reliable substitutes or requires more time to ensure the reliability of the available substitutes. The exemption does not weaken the environmental and health protection afforded by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and establishing a European Chemicals Agency (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1). . It should therefore be renewed for those particular applications.
