Commission Delegated Directive 2014/70/EUShow full title

‘39. Lead in micro-channel plates (MCPs) used in equipment where at least one of the following properties is present:

(a)

a compact size of the detector for electrons or ions, where the space for the detector is limited to a maximum of 3 mm/MCP (detector thickness + space for installation of the MCP), a maximum of 6 mm in total, and an alternative design yielding more space for the detector is scientifically and technically impracticable;

(b)

a two-dimensional spatial resolution for detecting electrons or ions, where at least one of the following applies:

(i)

a response time shorter than 25 ns;

(ii)

a sample detection area larger than 149 mm²;

(iii)

a multiplication factor larger than 1,3 × 10³.

(c)

a response time shorter than 5 ns for detecting electrons or ions;

(d)

a sample detection area larger than 314 mm² for detecting electrons or ions;

(e)

a multiplication factor larger than 4,0 × 10⁷.

The exemption expires on the following dates:

(a)

21 July 2021 for medical devices and monitoring and control instruments;

(b)

21 July 2023 for in-vitro diagnostic medical devices;

(c)

21 July 2024 for industrial monitoring and control instruments.’
