Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2019/174 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 bound in crystal glass as defined in Directive 69/493/EEC (Text with EEA relevance.) · European Union

(5) Lead oxides (PbO or Pb_(3)O_(4)) are used as an intermediate for the chemical synthesis of lead crystal glass (LCG). LCG is used in electrical and electronic equipment because its unique combinations of processing (cooling time, working range), optical (refractive index, dispersion) and decorative (Vicker's hardness) properties allows the manufacturing of electrical and electronic articles which could not be produced otherwise, such as specific luminaires and chandeliers, electrified mirrors, clocks and watches, digital photo frames and building materials (illuminated blocks).
