REACH
Robust study summaries effectively support hazard assessment The final report of the OECD’s project, led by ECHA, on the role of robust study summaries for the hazard assessment of chemicals finds they are fit for purpose. The report also highlights a number of areas for improvement to further increase the trustworthiness and usefulness of robust study summaries. Member States back microplastics restriction The EU Member States have voted in favour of restricting intentionally added microplastics on 26 April 2023 in the European Commission’s REACH Committee. The Commission’s draft regulation will still be scrutinised by the European Parliament and Council before it can be adopted. RAC opinions on restriction proposals available We have published opinions of the Committee for Risk Assessment on restriction proposals for: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighting foams (EC -), submitted by ECHAterphenyl, hydrogenated (EC 262-967-7, CAS 61788-32-7), submitted by ItalyNew substance evaluation conclusion published for CoRAP substance bis(2-ethylhexyl) 4,4’-{6-[4-tert-butylcarbamoyl)anilino]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyldiimino}dibenzoate (EC/List number 421-450-8, CAS 154702-15-5), added to the Community rolling action plan (CoRAP) list in 2015 and evaluated by Germany.New intention to identify a substance of very high concern One intention has been received for: Triphenyl phosphate (EC 204-112-2, CAS 115-86-6)Assessment of regulatory needs report published Report for the following substance group is now available on our website: (hydroxy)carboxylic acid amine chelatesIf you have questions or feedback related to the assessment work, you can send them to us through this webform. Testing proposals We have launched nine new consultations on testing proposals. The deadline for comments is 19 June 2023.
There are currently 31 open consultations on testing proposals.
