Amendment: Directive 2011/65/EU (cadmium and lead in filter glasses)

This directive updates rules on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It allows specific exemptions for cadmium and lead in certain filter glasses and reflectance standards, adapting the law to technical progress.

This change affects manufacturers of electronic components and equipment using these specific types of glasses. It ensures continued use where alternatives are not yet viable, while maintaining environmental and health protection goals.
