Scope (official wording)
Electrical and electronic components containing lead in a glass or glass matrix compound that fulfils any of the following functions:
(1) for protection and electrical insulation in glass beads of high-voltage diodes and glass layers for wafers;
(2) for hermetic sealing between ceramic, metal and/or glass parts;
(3) for bonding purposes in a process parameter window for < 500 °C combined with a viscosity of 1 013,3 dPas (‘glass-transition temperature’);
(4) for use as a resistive material such as ink, with a resistivity range from 1 ohm/square to 100 megohm/square, excluding trimmer potentiometers;
(5) for use in chemically modified glass surfaces for microchannel plates (MCPs), channel electron multipliers (CEMs) and resistive glass products (RGPs).
Dates of applicability (official wording)
Applies to all categories and expires on 31 December 2027.
