Issue: Application 71 used and material contains recyclate
This application code covers three exemptions for lead (Pb) CAS# 7439-92-1 as an alloying element in aluminum alloys. Only 2(c)(i) is valid for new parts.
| Application Code Language | Exemption Language including Scope & Expiry Date |
| 2(a),(b),(c)(i) – Alloying element in aluminum for machining purposes | Language: 2(a). Aluminium for machining purposes with a lead content up to 2 % by weight Scope and Expiry Date: As spare parts for vehicles put on the market before 1 July 2005 —————————————- Language: 2(b). Aluminium with a lead content up to 1,5 % by weight Scope and Expiry Date: As spare parts for vehicles put on the market before 1 July 2008 —————————————- Language: 2(c)(i). Aluminium alloys for machining purposes with a lead content up to 0,4 % by weight |
Application Code 71 can only be used for materials which do not contain recyclate. You answered the Contains recyclate question Yes.
Action Required:
If you incorrectly selected Application Code 71, then revise the part as appropriate and resubmit to your customer.
If you incorrectly answered Yes to the Contains recyclate question, revise your answer and resubmit.
NOTE: Some IMDS Steering Committee published aluminum alloy materials do not conform to current ELV Annex II exemptions regarding Pb in aluminum alloys. For example published MDS 79468908 / 3 for Wrought Aluminium Alloy, Heat Treatable (2011, 2011A) contains 0.2 to 0.6% Pb. If your part is a new part, this material could not be used because it exceeds the 0.4%of Pb allowed under 2(c). While Committee published materials are normally considered acceptable on their face, this is not always the case with aluminum alloys.
