European Chemicals Agency to Propose Eight Substances for Restriction Under REACH Law

摘要

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Dec. 3 said it plans to send the European Commission a request to include eight substances in Annex XIV of the European Union's REACH law, meaning their use would be banned unless specific authorizations are granted.rnThe eight chemicals recommended for restrictions are di-isobutyl phthalate (DIBP), diarsenic trioxide, di-arsenic pentaoxide, lead chromate, lead sulfochromate yellow, lead chromate molybdate sulphate red, tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate, and 2,4-dinitrotoluene. They were prioritized from a list of chemicals considered to be of "very high concern" and thus candidates for restrictions or bans.
