    EU REACH

    May 16, 2023 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.

    Additions to EU REACH Restricted Substance Lists Coming Soon

     

    Proposed-Additions-to-EU-REACHTwo proposals in the works to add substances to EU REACH SVHC and Annex XIV

    The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) recently announced two proposals to add substances to the restricted substances lists under the EU REACH regulation.

    On February 17, two new substances were proposed to be added to the EU REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) list.

    And on April 12, eight substances were proposed to be added to Annex XIV of the EU REACH regulation.

    Two substances recommended to be added, which would bring the SVHC List to SHVC-235

    On February 17, ECHA launched a consultation period for adding two new substances to the SVHC list. If approved, the change would bring the SVHC list up to 235 entries.

    The consultation period is now closed, and ECHA will review the comments received before making their final recommendation to add one or both substances to the SVHC list.

    The two substances proposed to be added are:

    • Bis (4-chlorophenyl) sulphone (EC #201-247-9/CAS #80-07-9)
    • Diphenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (EC #278-355-8/CAS #75980-60-80)

    More information about the two proposed substances can be found online.

    The inclusion of substances in the EU REACH SVHC List brings immediate obligations for affected companies using the substances in their products above the stated threshold, including customer notification requirements and notifying ECHA through submissions to the SCIP Database.

    Eight substances recommended to be added to EU REACH Annex XIV

    On April 12, ECHA published a recommendation for the European Commission to add eight substances, including lead, to the EU REACH Authorization list under Annex XIV. Once substances are added to the list, companies will need to apply to authorization to continue using them.

    The eight substances are:

    • Ethylenediamine
    • 2-(4-tertbutylbenzyl)propionaldehyde and its individual stereoisomers
    • Lead
    • Glutaral
    • 2-methyl-1-(4-methylthiophenyl)-2-morpholinopropan-1-one
    • 2-benzyl-2- dimethylamino-4’-morpholinobutyrophenone
    • Diisohexyl phthalate
    • Orthoboric acid, sodium salt

    Before sending its recommendation to the European Commission, ECHA received comments during a three-month consultation period. The inclusion of lead in the draft recommendation generated many comments during the consultation and led to an active discussion in ECHA’s Member State Committee related to the expected workload for industry and authorities at the next stage.

    The European Commission will now decide which substances are included in the Authorization List and what conditions apply for each substance. If a substance is included in the Authorization List, it can only be placed on the EEA market or used after a given date, if an authorization is granted for a specific use.

    More information about the reasons for recommending these substances for authorization and of their uses is available online.
