Only representatives complying well with new obligation to report on non-EU manufacturers
During the last months, only representatives have been asked to identify the non-EU manufacturers they represent in REACH-IT. 95 % of the registrations submitted by only representatives are now linked to a declared non-EU manufacturer and the number is growing.
The need to identify non-EU manufacturers is a consequence of the updated information requirements of the REACH annexes that have applied since 14 October 2022.

Scientific committees take more time to conclude on restricting PFASs in firefighting foams
Our Committees for Risk Assessment (RAC) and Socio-Economic Analysis (SEAC) will take an extra three months to conclude their assessment of the proposed restriction on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in firefighting foams. This is to ensure that the scientific assessment of the proposal and the information submitted during the consultation is thorough.
The opinion of RAC and the draft opinion of SEAC are now expected in March 2023. The final opinion of SEAC is planned for adoption in June 2023.
