REACH Authorisation List – Public Consultation For 18 New Substances

ECHA made an announcement inviting inputs from importers and manufacturers for including 18 new substances under the REACH Authorisation list. Companies importing these substances can submit comments until 5th December 2018.

These substances are listed in Annex XIV to REACH. Further, ECHA requests inputs on various uses of the substances and possible exemptions thereof.

During this duration of public consultation, ECHA in parallel calls for information by the European Commission on the possible socio-economic consequences of the inclusion of the substances in the Authorisation List.

The ECHA authorization process aims at replacing substances of very high concern (SVHCs) with less dangerous substances and relevant technical alternatives; thereby reducing possible economic, social, health and environmental impacts.

ECHA regularly monitors and updates the Candidate List with inclusion in the Authorisation List to the Commission. The recommendations are based on REACH registration dossiers, other information, and an initial consultation with the Member State Committee.

ECHA will draft recommendations based on comments received from the public consultation which is submitted to the Member State Committee to make an opinion. Based on comments, inputs from committee ECHA submits the final recommendation to the European Commission for final authorization.
