REACH: Eight Substances Listed under Annex XIV and to be Banned by the EU
Eight Banned Substances Listed under Annex XIV
On 14 February 2012, the European Union published Decision EC 125/2012 to include eight additional substances from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Candidate List to the EC 1907/2006 Annex XIV of the REACH regulation. This means that these eight substances will be banned from 2015 unless an authorisation is granted to individual companies for their use. These requirements apply regardless of the tonnage at which the substance is placed on the market or used. By adding these eight substances, Annex XIV now contains 14 substances in total.
Background Substances for authorisation are selected from the ECHA Candidate list and banned unless an authorisation is granted to an individual company. Requests for authorisation must be submitted to ECHA and final decisions are made by the European Commission. Without authorisation, these substances will not be allowed to be used or placed on the market after the sunset date. Requirements apply regardless of the tonnage used or placed on the market. Sunset dates for each substance range from February to August 2015.
