European Union Chemicals Agency Issues Substance Risk Management Update

摘要

The European Chemicals Agency and authorities in European Union member states in 2015 concluded 25 "risk management options analyses" (RMOAs) for hazardous substances and groups of substances, recommending in 20 cases that some form of action should be taken to more strictly control substances, according to a summary report ECHA issued. In 10 cases completed during 2015, it was recommended that substances be listed under the EU's REACH regulation as "substances of very high concern," a designation that could result in eventual prohibition, the chemicals agency said.
