Current calls for comments and evidence
Current calls for comments and evidence
Calls for comments and evidence allow interested parties to signal their interest and express their views and concerns in the preparatory phase of the restriction proposal. They also let interested parties comment on the different documents under preparation in ECHA in relation to restrictions, such as reports on substances in articles and guidelines on restriction entries.
Additional information to justify or support comments made is also welcomed. The information gathered will provide an input into developing Annex XV restriction dossiers or other documents. When we open a call for comments and evidence, we intend to give parties who otherwise might not have been identified and consulted a chance to submit information.
The calls for comments and evidence do not take the place of the public consultation on restriction proposals developed by Member States or ECHA, which forms a standard part of the restriction process.
Consultations close at 23:59 Helsinki time.

- Call for evidence on 1,4-dioxane as well as substances and mixtures containing 1,4-dioxane as a constituent or an impurity
- Objective of the call
This call for evidence is intended to support the preparation of a Restriction Report, and to gather information on 1,4-dioxane as well as substances and mixtures containing 1,4-dioxane as a constituent or an impurity, specifically on:
- the manufacture (including tonnage information and market trends),
- uses (including use descriptions, tonnage information and market trends),
- emissions related to the manufacture and uses of these chemicals,
- the feasibility of removal of 1,4-dioxane from other substances/mixtures and process waters,
- the socio-economic impacts of a REACH restriction.
The call for evidence further aims at understanding which chemical or technical alternatives exist and which voluntary measures or substitution processes etc. are ongoing.
- Target group
- This call for evidence is addressed to the whole supply chain including manufacturers, importers, distributors, formulators, and downstream users of 1,4-dioxane containing surfactants (as constituent or impurity) and of alternatives for these substances as well as trade associations, scientific organisations, NGOs and other stakeholders or Member State Authorities holding relevant information.
