Métadonnées de la publication
The European Commission added 11 substances to the Authorisation List (Annex XIV to the REACH Regulation) on 6 February 2020. In the run-up to the new entries’ publication in the Official Journal, ECHA and wca, an independent consultancy providing advice on the risk assessment of chemicals in the environment and workplace, have carried out market research to explore the likely numbers of applications for authorisation that might be received for these substances in the future. Anticipating the potential number of applications for authorisation is instrumental for ECHA to be able to plan its staff resources, the meetings of the Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and Socio-economic Analysis (SEAC) and to ensure that it has the capacity to provide timely opinions on any applications for these substances. ECHA can expect to receive few applications for the 11 substances. The only substance for which a potential applicant was found was trixylyl phosphate. However, the market intelligence suggests that small volumes are being placed on the EU market even for the unregistered substances, so it is important to ensure that there is adequate publicity on the announcement of Authorisation List updates and to highlight to importers that these substances should not be placed on the EU market after the sunset date unless they apply for authorisation to continue specific uses of the substances. A search for information on the presence of the 11 substances in articles on the EU market revealed only limited information but indicated that some of these substances, particularly the UV substances, may be present in imported articles. Therefore, ECHA will need to consider preparing restriction dossiers according to Article 69(2)2 of REACH after the sunset dates for the relevant substances incorporated in articles and imported into the EU have passed [...]. This information was corroborated by confirmatory statements from sectoral trade associations as well as the main users of the substances, such as lubricant manufacturers, manufacturers of detergents, rubber and plastic products, as well as various other downstream user groups. ECHA asked the stakeholders to verify or corroborate the findings of the market survey. While ECHA has made efforts to uncover the market situation of the 11 substances and, in particular, to predict the number of applications it would receive, it is possible that it has not been able to reach particular user groups. By publishing this report, ECHA wants to increase the awareness around the need to apply for substances placed on the Authorisation List. It also hopes that any potential applicants for authorisation would inform ECHA if they find inaccuracies in this report about their intention to apply.
