ANNEX

Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as follows: points 7(c)-I and 7(c)-II are replaced by the following: ‘7(c)-I | Electrical and electronic components containing lead in a glass or ceramic other than dielectric ceramic in capacitors, e.g. piezoelectronic devices, or in a glass or ceramic matrix compound | Applies to all categories and expires on 30 June 2027. 7(c)-II | Lead in dielectric ceramic in capacitors for a rated voltage of 125 V AC or 250 V DC or higher | Applies to all categories (except applications covered by point 7(c)-I or 7(c)-IV) and expires on 31 December 2027.’ the following points 7(c)-V and 7(c)-VI are added: ‘7(c)-V | Electrical and electronic components containing lead in a glass or glass matrix compound that fulfils any of the following functions: (1) for protection and electrical insulation in glass beads of high-voltage diodes and glass layers for wafers; (2) for hermetic sealing between ceramic, metal and/or glass parts; (3) for bonding purposes in a process parameter window for < 500 °C combined with a viscosity of 1 013,3 dPas (‘glass-transition temperature’); (4) for use as a resistive material such as ink, with a resistivity range from 1 ohm/square to 100 megohm/square, excluding trimmer potentiometers; (5) for use in chemically modified glass surfaces for microchannel plates (MCPs), channel electron multipliers (CEMs) and resistive glass products (RGPs). | Applies to all categories and expires on 31 December 2027. 7(c)-VI | Electrical and electronic components containing lead in a ceramic that fulfils any of the following functions: (1) for use in piezoelectric lead zirconium titanate (PZT) ceramics; (2) for providing ceramics with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC). | Applies to all categories (except applications covered by points 7(c)-II, 7(c)-III and 7(c)-IV of this Annex as well as point 14 of Annex IV) and expires on 31 December 2027.’
