ECHA's current activities on restrictions

ECHA is reviewing existing restriction entries and carrying out preparatory work for possible submission of Annex XV restriction proposals. The table provides information on the current activities. ECHA may launch consultations or calls for comments and evidence in relation to these activities.

 

Substance Name EC number CAS number Type of the task Scope of the task Entry in Annex XVII Other remarks
Chromium trioxide, acids generated from chromium trioxide and their oligomers - - Prepare an Annex XV restriction dossier The Commission is requesting ECHA to prepare a restriction dossier in line with the requirements of Annex XV in view of a possible restriction of at least two Cr(VI) substances: Chromium trioxide (entry 16 in Annex XIV) and Chromic acid (entry 17 in Annex XIV). The number of applications for authorisation for the use of certain Cr(VI) substances has far exceeded the predictions at the time of inclusion of the substances in REACH Annex XIV, and the approach envisaged for regulating Cr(VI) substances (authorisation) is no longer appropriate to control the risk to human health posed by these substances.
