Recital 7

(7) The evaluation further concluded that alternatives to ‘on-chip’ technology applicable in lighting applications are currently available that are reliable and that achieve similar performance levels. For those applications, the evaluation concluded that the benefits of an exemption would not outweigh the negative environmental, health and consumer safety impacts thereof. The conditions set out in Article 5(1), point (a), of Directive 2011/65/EU are therefore not met for the ‘on-chip’ technology applicable in lighting applications.
