Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2019/176 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 in the plating layer of certain diodes (Text with EEA relevance.) · European Union

(5) High voltage diodes (HVD) are used in external power supplies of IT and telecommunication equipment and for automotive applications. During the manufacturing process of HVD, lead contained in the glass beads dissolves into the plating solution, which results in approximately 2,5 % of lead content in the plating layer of the diodes. Thus, the lead is not added intentionally but is the result of the contamination from the lead-containing glass.
