You have the opportunity to comment on the application for restriction/authorisation for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) until 25 September 2023. At regular intervals, the newly submitted public comments will be summarised in a document and made available for download.
ECHA and the national authorities of the Member States that proposed the restriction will respond to the comments, regularly.
You can view and comment on the PFAS restriction application here.
The substance information profile (“Substance Infocard”) currently used by ECHA will be converted by mid-2024. Similar to the REACH registration dossier, the regulatory obligations will now be listed in several tabs, and the substance profile (classification, labelling, notifiable/registrable, etc.) will be displayed on the start page.
A short summary and what the future substance information profile will look like can be found on the ECHA homepage.
In 2014 the substances, including Lead, were listed on the SVHC candidate list and will be included in annex XIV REACH. The full list can be downloaded here.
Please contact us if you hav any questions regarding your obligations according to REACH and for further information regarding the authorisation process.
A pilot enforcement project in 15 participating countries has found that 12 % of inspected products contain substances of very high concern (SVHCs). ECHA informs, that the majority (88 %) of suppliers of these products are failing to communicate sufficient information to their customers about SVHCs in products they supply.
