Authorisation vs restriction

摘要

Even though not foreseen in the REACH legal text, the Risk Management Option (RMO) analysis is becoming a standard tool, used by Echa and member states to determine which RMO is most appropriate to regulate risks related to chemicals qualifying as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). In the frame of such an RMO analysis, a key question is often whether candidate list inclusion and authorisation (Annex XIV), or a restriction (Annex XVII), should be proposed.
