ECHA considers adding eight new substances to the Authorisation list

ECHA regularly recommends substances from the Candidate List to be included in the Authorisation List (Annex XIV to REACH), based on the information in the registration dossiers on uses and volumes of the substance. On February 2, 2022, ECHA lists eight new substances to be included in the authorisation list. Comments for this proposal are invited until May 2, 2022.  

If a substance is included in the Authorisation List, it can only be placed on the market if an authorization is granted for a specific use and that is after a given date. Below is the eight substances listed by ECHA and companies that are using, manufacturing or importing these substances may have to apply for authorisation if these are added to Annex XIV of REACH regulation. As of now companies can send their proposal for defending the substances for not including it to Authorization list and ECHA will review those comments before taking the final decision on inclusion of these substances into Authorization list.
