Recital 11
(11) The evaluation referred to in recital 7 concluded that even though it is scientifically possible to substitute lead in ceramic dielectrics for high-voltage capacitors for some applications under the exemption set out in point 7(c)-II of Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU, it is not technically practicable for most applications. In addition, such lead-free capacitors lack the sufficient reliability in practice. Thus, the requested renewal meets the criteria set out in Article 5(1), point (a), first and second indent, of Directive 2011/65/EU.
