Are you in the Plastics Sector? Check out the 11 new substances added to the REACH Authorisation List
On the 7th of February, 11 new entries were added to the Authorisation List (entries 44 to 54). This means that users of these substances will need authorisation to continue their use after the sunset dates given in the entries. Applications need to be submitted before the Latest Application dates to benefit from transitional arrangements. These range from ca. 18 months to 27 months from today. The table below gives the entries in detail and the sectors that may be affected. The plastics sector may be the most affected as many are used in coatings.
Are you using any of the listed chemicals? Will you be able to substitute before the sunset date?
