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

(7) Since eliminating lead by avoiding lead contamination for the applications concerned is still impracticable and no reliable substitutes are available on the market, the exemption for categories 1 to 7 and 10 should be renewed for the maximum duration of five years until 21 July 2021. In view of the results of the ongoing efforts to find a reliable substitution, the duration of the exemption is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
