This webinar from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) follows on from an updated mandate from the European Commission to prepare a proposal for a possible restriction on chromium (VI) substances.
This update complements the original request from September 2023, which focused on only two entries currently listed on the REACH Authorisation List, namely chromium trioxide (entry 16) and chromic acids (entry 17).
The updated mandate now includes chromium (VI) substances specified in entries 16 to 22 and 28 to 31 of the REACH Authorisation List.
This webinar is intended for interested parties including companies that use Cr(VI) substances [i.e. Cr(VI) substances currently listed in REACH Annex XIV (entries 16 to 22 and 28 to 31), as well as barium chromate (EC 233-660-5)] It will also be of use for companies offering or using alternatives to Cr(VI) substances as well as manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, importers of Cr(VI) substances and/or its alternatives. Sector associations, NGOs, and other stakeholders as well as Member State Authorities holding relevant information will also find this useful.
Webinar viewers will get clarification on the scope of the restriction preparation, an overview of the main outcomes of the first call for evidence, and more details on the additional data requested in the second call for evidence.
