Issue: Application 72 used and material contains more than 0.4% Pb
This application code applies to lead (Pb) CAS# 7439-92-1 as an alloying element in aluminum alloys.
| Application Code Language | Exemption Language including Scope & Expiry Date |
| 2(c)(ii) – Recycled aluminum alloy containing unintentionally added lead | Language: Aluminium alloys not included in entry 2(c)(i) with a lead content up to 0.4 % by weight(1a) |
Action Required:
Application Code 72 can only be used if the material in question contains 0.4% or less of Pb. Your alloy contains more than 0.4% Pb, contact your customer to discuss a solution to this issue.
If you incorrectly selected Application Code 72, then revise the part as appropriate and resubmit to your customer.
If you incorrectly answered No to the Contains recyclate question, revise your answer and resubmit to your customer.
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.
