Other voluntary information:

• The use of lead in the non-ferrous metals mentioned above has been regulated for many years.
• For many copper alloys, there is currently no practical solution to replace lead.
• The composition of these alloys is given by EN.
• Lead is necessary for good machinability and to improve other properties, especially sliding properties.
