This directive kicks in for medical devices on 22nd July 2014.
e.g. Lead (Pb) < 1,000 ppm by weight of homogeneous material
See:

A number of portable medical devices on the market e.g. suction aspirators, use rechargeable sealed lead acid batteries. Because of this Directive, does it mean that these types of batteries can no longer be used in medical devices? I noticed fairly recently a particular European company switched from lead acid to NiMH ? was this the driver?
