(9) Substitutes for lead-containing ceramics and glasses are either not technically practicable for all applications or substitutes are not sufficiently reliable for specific applications. Thus, the requested renewal meets the criteria set out in Article 5(1), point (a), first and second indent, of Directive 2011/65/EU, namely, that the elimination or substitution through the design changes or materials and components which do not require any of the materials or substances listed in Annex II is scientifically or technically impracticable and that the reliability of substitutes is not ensured.
