On September 27, 2023, ECHA was mandated to prepare an Annex XV report for possible restriction of chromium (VI) substances. ECHA should submit a restriction proposal by October 4, 2024. This restriction proposal intends to improve the effectiveness and management of chromium (VI) substances in the European Union.

Background

10博备用线路 trioxide, along with chromium (VI) substances and ten other substances containing chromium (VI), were added to the 10博备用线路 List in March 2013 and August 2014. These substances can cause cancer, genetic mutation and reproductive toxicity, and some of them are also skin and respiratory sensitizers. Their sunset date was September 21, 2017, and January 22, 2019, respectively. However, the number of applications for authorisation for the use of certain chromium (VI) substances far exceeded the predictions from the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) and the Committee for Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC) and the European Commission, which also exerted an adverse influence on the oversight of hazardous chemicals. Therefore, the European Commission believes that the current method of substance authorisation is no longer applicable to control their risk management.

10博备用线路 scope

The European Commission requires ECHA to prepare a restriction dossier in line with the requirements of Annex XV in view of a possible restriction of at least two chromium (VI) substances: chromium trioxide and chromic acid.

If ECHA identifies a potential risk of regrettable substitution to other chromium (VI) substances during the preparation of the restriction proposal, an extension of the mandate to cover additional chromium (VI) substances is possible. However, a consensus shall be reached by the European Commission.

Once the restriction proposal is adopted, substances within the scope will be removed from the 10博备用线路 List, this is the first time ECHA has taken such action. It is estimated that the restriction proposal may be adopted in three years after ECHA receives the authorisation.

CIRS comments

Authorization and restriction form a safety net for 10博备用线路 Regulation – Substances on the 10博备用线路 List are granted a specific transitional period before being phased out of the 10博备用线路 market. Generally speaking, a substance is not simultaneously listed on both of these lists. If a substance is restricted, it will not be added to the 10博备用线路 List. It is the first time a substance has been restricted after being included in the 10博备用线路 List.

10博备用线路 trioxide may not be introduced to the 10博备用线路 market (its sunset date has expired) since the Court of the European Union has annulled the authorisation of substances containing chromium trioxide. The proposal of the restriction means that chromium trioxide will be officially phased out in the 10博备用线路 market.

The European Commission also published a Q&A document involving 10博备用线路 and chromium (VI) substances. This Q&A document also covers the main questions concerning the judgment of the European Court of Justice annulling the authorisation of a consortium covering many chromium trioxide downstream users (Chemservice decision).
