REACH

Nine new substances added to the Authorisation List

On 19 August, the Commission added nine new substances on the Authorisation List (Annex XIV) of the REACH Regulation. These substances of very high concern had been prioritised by ECHA in January 2013 and are used, for instance, as solvents, anti-corrosion or curing agents.

The latest application dates range from February 2016 to July 2017. The Authorisation List currently contains a total of 31 substances.
