Reach:

• Call for evidence: restriction of octocrilene
• Consultations on applications for authorisation
  • 4-Nonylphenol, branched and linear, ethoxylated (EC -, CAS -)
    • Used for the formulation of a hardener component and its mixing within the aerospace sector.
  • 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol, ethoxylated (EC -, CAS -)  
    • Used for the extraction of biological material used in articles intended for clinical and industrial in-vitro testing applications.
    • Used in the aerospace sector as a hardener in-two parts polysulfide sealant solutions.
  • Potassium dichromate (EC 231-906-6, CAS 7778-50-9) 
    • Used in the manufacture of single-use chemical breathalysers.
  • Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (EC 204-211-0, CAS 117-81-7)
    • Used for the formulation of plastics containing DEHP and their use for the packaging of medical products.
    • Used as a lubricant/sealing agent used in the immediate packaging of medicines.
  • Tetraethyllead (EC 201-075-4, CAS 78-00-2)
    • Used for the formulation of aviation fuel.

• Assessment of regulatory needs reports published

  Reports for the following substance groups are now available on our website:

  • Oxabicyclo esters
  • Tin and simple inorganic tin compounds
  • Simple chromium compounds (other than VI)
  • Glycosides

CLP:

New proposals to harmonise classification and labelling

Two intentions have been received for:

• 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylindeno[5,6-c]pyran; [galaxolide]; [HHCB] (EC 214-946-9, CAS 1222-05-5)
• tris[2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl] orthoborate (EC 250-418-4, 30989-05-0)

Biocides:

• Want to keep using DCEMH and DCDMH under product-type 11?
• Transition of SPC Editor into IUCLID postponed

Occupational exposure limits:

Deadline approaching: consultation on 1,3-Butadiene

We are looking for comments on the scientific report for occupational exposure limits on 1,3-Butadiene. 
 
Have your say until 20 November 2023.

Court decisions:

• GenX identification as substance of very high concern confirmed
• D4, D5 and D6 identification as substance of very high concern confirmed
• Restriction of D4 and D5 in wash-off cosmetics confirmed
