Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2019/173 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 lead and cadmium in printing inks for the application of enamels on glasses (Text with EEA relevance.) · European Union

(5) Lead and cadmium in printing inks applied to glass provide a durable product marking, especially on the glass bulb of lamps. The marking serves several purposes such as European conformity (CE) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) marking, identifying the producer and the lamp type and wattage, which is relevant for safety, correct lamp replacement and recycling. The durability of the marking is important to maintain the legibility of product markings throughout product-lifetime, as required by legislations and product safety standards.
