Recital 10

Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2025/2364 of 8 September 2025 amending Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead as an alloying element in steel, aluminium and copper · European Union

(10) The evaluation of the requested exemption renewal concluded that, regarding the exemption set out in point 6(a)-I of Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU, lead is still necessary in steel to achieve certain machining properties. A substitution or elimination in batch hot dip galvanised steel is currently not technically feasible nor economically viable. However, both technical applications can be split between points 6(a)-I and 6(a)-II of Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU, to allow a more dedicated examination in the next review.
